Abstract:
A method and apparatus for conducting at-speed testing of a memory array in an integrated circuit (IC) is disclosed. In one embodiment, an IC includes a memory array and a plurality of input circuits coupled to provide input signals into the memory array. Each of the plurality of input circuits includes an input flip-flop having a data output coupled to a corresponding input of the memory array, selection circuitry configured to select a data path to a data input of the input flip-flop and a data path shift register coupled to control a state of a selection signal provided to the selection circuitry, wherein the data path shift register includes a plurality of multiplexers. When operating the IC in a test mode, the plurality of input circuits is configured to provide input signals into the memory array at an operational clock speed of the IC.
