Abstract:
System and method for performing scan test on multiple IC devices by site-multiplexing. Multiple test sites of an ATE are coupled to multiple DUTs through a multiplexer. A scan test includes a scan-in/out phase and consecutive launch/capture cycles. Each site performs scan in/out in parallel on the corresponding DUT. In each launch/capture cycle, a respective site drives/captures data from a DUT while the remaining sites are inactive. The multiplexer allows the active site to borrow test channels assigned to other test sites such that all the test data of a DUT can be driven /captured in the launch capture cycle despite the test channel limitation of the active test site. As the tester channels receive interleaved data of the multiple sites, each strobe edge of a receive channel is assigned to a particular test site and used to quickly identify a failure site without post-processing test data.
