    摘要: The present invention relates to a parametric scan register. It also relates to a method for testing a digital circuit using such a register. The parametric scan register includes a memory cell (21) having at least one data input (d) capable of receiving test data (e_scan) and transferring to its outlet (s) a signal (62) representative of the input data using a timing signal (h). It further includes a parametric test block (42) having an input connected to the output (s) of the cell (21), the output signal (62) of the cell being transferred to the output (s_reg) of the block (42) through an inner module (61), said inner module operating according to modes capable of modifying the output signal (62) of the cell. The invention is particularly useful for testing integrated circuits having a high integration density, e.g. in the field of nanotechnologies.

    摘要: A wrapper architecture has a parent core A and a child core B. The parent core A comprises scan chains (70), wrapper input cells (71), wrapper output cells (74) and a parent TAM, PTAM [0:2]. Likewise, the child core comprises scan chains (76), wrapper input cells (75) and wrapper output cells (72), and is connected to a child TAM, CTAM [0:2]. Each wrapper input cell (75) and each wrapper output cell (72) of the child core is adapted to be connected to the parent TAM, PTAM, in addition to being connected to the child TAM, CTAM, thereby enabling the child core to be placed in the In-test and Ex-test modes at the same time, and allowing the parent and child cores to be tested in parallel.

    摘要: A dual-path, multimode sequential storage element (SSE) (10) is described herein. In one example, the dual-path, multimode SSE comprises first (14) and second (12) sequential storage elements, a data input, a data output, and a selector mechanism (16). The first and second sequential storage elements (14, 12) each have an input and an output. The data input is coupled to the inputs of both sequential storage elements and is configured to accept data. The data output is coupled to the outputs of both sequential storage elements and is configured to output the data. The selector mechanism (16) is configured to select one of the sequential storage elements for passing the data from the data input to the data output. In one example, the first sequential storage element comprises a pulse-triggered storage element (14) and the second sequential storage element comprises a master-slave storage element (12).

    摘要: An integrated circuit (10) comprises a scan chain (14) with parallel inputs and outputs coupled to a functional circuit (12a-c). A scan chain modifying circuit (43, 47, 70a-c) is provided coupled to the scan chain (14). When testing is authorized the scan chain modifying circuit operates in a mode wherein a normal shift path is provided through the scan chain. When testing is not authorized the scan chain modifying circuit (43, 47, 70a-c) operates to effect spontaneous dynamic changes in the shift path, which dynamically vary the length of the shift path between external terminals of the integrated circuit while shifting takes place. In an embodiment the dynamical variations are controlled by a running key comparison. In other embodiments running key comparison is used to disable transfer through the scan chain and/or operation of functional circuits.

    摘要: An integrated circuit includes a semiconductor die having a plurality of input/output pads. A plurality of boundary scan cells, one corresponding to each input/output pad, implements boundary scan functions associated with respective input/output pads. Each of the boundary scan cells includes a TDI input and a TDO output. The boundary scan cells are structured as a shift register to shift data from one boundary scan cell in a direction unilaterally to an adjacent boundary scan cell. A first boundary scan cell is the first boundary scan cell of the plurality of boundary scan cells to receive data. A last boundary scan cell is the last boundary scan cell of the plurality of boundary scan cells to receive data. An endless control conductor forms a loop proximate the plurality of boundary scan cells. The endless control conductor is coupled to each of the plurality of boundary scan cells to provide a test clock signal thereto. At least one other control conductor extends around the semiconductor die proximate the plurality of boundary scan cells. The at least one other control conductor is discontinuous between the first and last boundary scan cells. The invention can also be implemented at the system level.
