Electrically erasable non-volatile memory cell with integrated SRAM cell
to reduce testing time
摘要:
In a programmable integrated circuit, by providing a static random access memory (SRAM) cell in each electrically erasable (E.sup.2) non-volatile memory cell, testing time of circuits configured by the E.sup.2 non-volatile memory cells can be reduced substantially. In one embodiment, the SRAM cell can be included by providing a small number of transistors to recirculate the output value of an inverting buffer. During testing, a logic value is written into the SRAM cell in place of the logic value in the non-volatile storage of the E.sup.2 non-volatile memory cell. In one embodiment, the E.sup.2 non-volatile memory cell can be used in conjunction with a 1-bit shift-register. Multiple 1-bit shift registers can be used as a scan chain to scan into the SRAM cells of multiple E.sup.2 non-volatile memory cells.
