Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to test equipment. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving failure information from a first test of a device under test (DUT). In this embodiment, the DUT includes a plurality of scan chains that each include a plurality of scan cells. In this embodiment, the first test is based on a first compressed test pattern. In this embodiment, the failure information does not permit a definitive determination as to which scan cell is a failing scan cell. In this embodiment, the method includes generating a plurality of compressed test patterns based on the first compressed test pattern. In this embodiment, the plurality of compressed test patterns specify one-to-one-modes. In this embodiment, the method includes performing one or more second tests of the DUT using the plurality of compressed test patterns to definitively determine one or more failing scan cells.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a first set of scan-enabled flip-flop circuits may be configured to shift a scan-chain pattern from a first test input node to a first test output node using a first clock signal. A particular lockup latch may be coupled to the first test output node and to a second test input node. This particular lockup latch may be configured to, when enabled, delay propagation of the scan-chain pattern from the first test output node to the second test input node. A second set of scan-enabled flip-flop circuits may be configured to shift the scan-chain pattern from the second test input node to a second test output node using a second clock signal, different from the first clock signal. A control circuit may be configured to determine whether to enable the particular lockup latch using a particular scan test signal.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a functional circuit, including a power supply node, and a test circuit. The functional circuit is configured to operate in a test mode that includes generating respective test output patterns in response to application of a plurality of test stimulus patterns. The test circuit is configured to identify a particular test stimulus pattern of the plurality of test stimulus patterns, and to reapply the particular test stimulus pattern to the functional circuit multiple times. The test circuit is further configured to vary, for each reapplication, a start time of the particular test stimulus pattern in relation to when a voltage level of the power supply node is sampled for that reapplication.

Abstract: Design-for-test (DFT) architectures, and methods of testing an array of chips, which may be identical, are described. In an embodiment, a comparison circuit includes a plurality of comparators to compare scan-data out (SDO) data streams with an expected data stream and transmit a compared data stream that is indicated of whether or not an error exists in any of the SDO data streams.

Abstract: A voltage regulator circuit included in a computer system may generate a voltage level on a power supply signal using a source power supply signal and based initial values of one or more operation parameters derived from wafer-level test data. One or more operation characteristics of the voltage regulator circuit may be sampled, by a measurement circuit, at multiple time points to generated measurement data. A control circuit may adapt operation of the voltage regulator circuit based on the measurement data.
