Abstract:
Test architectures for multi-die chips are provided herein according to embodiments of the present disclosure. In certain aspects, an exemplary test architecture enables an external tester to perform various tests on a multi-die chip that includes multiple dies. In a first test mode, the test architecture enables the external tester to currently perform die-level tests on the multiple dies. In a second test mode, the test architecture enables the external tester to perform a chip-level test on the multi-die chip. The chip-level test may include die-to-die tests for testing interconnections between the multiple dies on the multi-die chip. The chip-level test may also include a boundary input/output (I/O) test for testing external connections between the multi-die chip and one or more devices external to the multi-die chip.
