Abstract:
A multichip module (MCM) device include a first die including functional circuitry bonded by a plurality of inter-die bond wires (bond wires) to a second die having functional circuitry. A first channel (Channel A) and second channel (Channel B) each have separate top and bottom signal paths (signal paths) including one of the bond wires. A failure of any of the signal paths does not affect functionality of the device. The first die includes input pins including a first input pin (P1), a second input pin (P2), and coupling circuitry including cross-channel test circuitry positioned between the input pins and the functional circuitry. The coupling circuitry provides for Channel A and Channel B a first configuration for normal mode operation and a second configuration for test mode operation for single bond wire testing for checking continuity of any of the bond wires.
