    摘要: A semiconductor die is provided with an internally programmable router to assign signal paths to select connection points. A switching matrix incorporating at least one antifuse is utilized to selectively route signal paths on the semiconductor die. The chips can then be used individually, for example to reconfigure chip pin assignments to operate in a plurality of different socket layouts, or where features or controls of a chip are selectively enabled or disabled. A further alternative involves programming a first chip, then stacking piggyback, or one on top of the other, the first chip onto a second chip. The contact pins are electrically coupled together, thus avoiding the need for external frames and pin rerouting schemes to form stacked chips. In the stacked chip configuration, control pins are rerouted to align with unused pins on the chip stacked against.

    摘要: A device includes a semiconductor substrate, a first penetrating electrode (TSV_0) penetrating through the semiconductor substrate, a first test pad (PAD_0), and a first tri-state buffer (TD_0) coupled between the first penetrating electrode and the first test pad. The first tri-state buffer receives a buffer control signal at a control terminal thereof. The device further includes a buffer control circuit (BC) supplying the buffer control signal to the first tri-state buffer.

    摘要: A method for testing an integrated circuit, comprising:
    capturing multiple test values in scan chains of a circuit-under-test, the test values being associated with a circuit response to a test pattern;
    clocking the test values out of the scan chains and into a compactor;
    producing sets of two or more output values in the compactor, each set comprising all values produced in the compactor at least partially determined by a respective test value; and
    outputting at least one of the sets from the compactor over at least two clock cycles and before all of the test values captured in the scan chain and associated with the circuit response to the test pattern have been clocked into the compactor.
