摘要: According to an embodiment, a digital circuit (400) includes an OR gate (402) and a flip-flop (406). The OR gate (402) includes a first input and a second input. The first input of the OR gate is coupled to a control signal (CTRL), and the second input of the OR gate is coupled to an uncovered functional combination logic of the digital circuit (400). The first input of the OR gate (402) is configured to be pulled low by the control signal (CTRL) in response to setting the digital circuit (400) in a configuration to test the uncovered functional combination logic. The flip-flop (406) includes a reset pin (R) or a set pin (S) coupled to the output of the OR gate (402). The output of the flip-flop (406) is configured to be observed during a testing of the uncovered functional combination logic to detect defects in the digital circuit (400).

摘要: A method for testing multiple power-on-resets in a system-on-chip (100) with a multi-power domain architecture operating under a dual power flow mode is provided. The method includes powering up (902) the system-on-chip (100) to full power mode, decoupling (904) a third power domain (106) from a first power domain and a second power domain (104), monitoring a general purpose input/output, GPIO pad of the third power domain (106) during a ramp down (906) of a supply of the third power domain (106), and detecting (908) a logic transition at the GPIO pad of the third power domain (106) corresponding to a trippoint of the power-on-reset of the third power domain (106).

摘要: A method of testing a multiple power domain device (100) includes sending a control signal from a test controller (118) powered by a switchable power domain (SWi, 110) to a non-scan test data register powered by an always on power domain (AO, 102). The method further includes setting, using the control signal, a test data register value of the register to enable scan mode by bypassing an isolation cell between an output of the switchable domain (SWi, 110) and an input of the always on domain (102) and, while the register value continuously enables scan mode: shifting a test pattern into a scan chain including a flip-flop coupled to the isolation cell, capturing a test result from the scan chain, and shifting the test pattern out of the scan chain to observe the test result. The isolation cell is configured to allow or disallow propagation of a signal from the output to the input.
