    摘要: Method and apparatus provides for testing a device or system with a pattern generator. A series of predetermined test vectors are stored, and, for at least some of the test vectors, an associated predetermined MISR signature. A test vector is applied to a device or system under test and a gold unit in response to a gating signal, the test vector having an associated MISR determined by simulating the expected result vector. In response thereto, the gold unit and the device or system under test each produce a result vector which are compared to detect errors in the performance of the system or device under test. A MISR signature is generated for the result vector from the gold unit. The MISR signature for the result vector is then compared to the MISR associated with the input test vector. If the signatures do not match, further test vectors are prevented from being applied to the device or system under test. If the signatures match, a gating signal is provided so that additional test vectors are applied to the device or system under test.

    摘要: A micro processor emulator in which a set of core micro processor registers are the communication interface between an external system and a core-ported memory. The registers are connected to a serial scan port for transfer of information between a halted emulation environment and the external system. The serial port includes a command register that receives a jump address to initiate execution of a software monitor. Two special bits are provided in the command register, one that indicates a break, and one that indicates a Fast Break GO. This provides a break mechanism for a micro processor chip which does not have a dedicated memory bus. This break mechanism is the mechanism by which a halt or an asynchronous break is effected. After a fast break, the Fast Break GO mechanism does the action described by one command, and then immediately goes back to emulation without any external processor intervention.

    摘要: A method and system to improve the operations of a registered memory module. In one embodiment of the invention, the registered memory module allows asynchronous read and write operations when a clock circuit in the registered memory module is being activated. In another embodiment of the invention, the registered memory module allows enabling or disabling of its clock circuit without any interruption of its operation. When the clock circuit in the registered memory module is disabled, the power consumption of the registered memory module can be reduced. In yet another embodiment of the invention, the registered memory module is allowed to enter or exit an asynchronous operation mode without entering or exiting a self-refresh or pre-charge power down operation mode of the registered memory module.

    摘要: A bed extender apparatus adapted for use with a pickup truck bed to functionally enlarge the useable cargo area within the truck bed when a tailgate is in a lowered position. The bed extender includes a center wall which is pivotably mounted to an inner surface of the tailgate, and which can be pivoted into an upright position once the tailgate is moved into a lowered position. A pair of end walls are pivotably secured to opposite ends of the center wall. Each end wall can be pivoted out to a position extending perpendicular to the center wall once the center wall is in its raised or operative position. Each of the end walls can then be secured to an associated one of the vertical walls of the pickup truck bed. A principal advantage of the bed extender is that the end walls and center wall each include a plurality of members which, when the end walls are folded against the center wall, form an extremely compact arrangement which takes up virtually no appreciable cargo space within the pickup truck bed. The bed extender also forms an extremely aerodynamically efficient structure when in use.

    摘要: A microprocessor is provided with circuitry for receiving JTAG and ICE test control signals through JTAG test ports and for synchronizing the test signals to a chip clock signal. Test signals synchronized to an external JTAG device are processed internally by an ICE of the microprocessor chip once the test signals are synchronized with the chip clock rate. To this end, the microprocessor is provided with a synchronizer which receives the chip clock signal, a JTAG control signal, and a JTAG reset signal, and outputs a synchronized control signal. The synchronizer includes an unclocked SR flip-flop for sampling the JTAG control signal, and two or more DR flip-flops for synchronizing the JTAG control signal to the chip clock signal. The synchronizer may be configured to generate a control signal pulse or a control signal level. The synchronizer is protocol independent, i.e., the clock rate of the JTAG test commands is independent of the chip clock. Hence, no protocol is required to connect the JTAG test command signals to the ICE. In particular, the synchronizer includes an input stage configured for allowing the JTAG control signal to be much slower than the core clock signal or much faster than the core clock signal.

    摘要: An in-circuit emulator on an integrated circuit chip having an input pin for externally triggering on-chip break mechanisms. A break logic having an arm input is connected to an instruction pointer counter (IP counter). The break logic matches the IP counter to an instruction execution address. A counter is provided that once started runs a period of time and then shuts itself off, the length of the period of time being equal to the amount of time it takes for the break logic to arm after assertion of the arm input. A break logic control is connected to the input pin activates the arm input in response to signals on the input pin. The break logic control also starts the counter. The break logic control includes means connected to the arm input, to the counter, to the match output, and to the abrupt break input, operative upon the condition that the match output is asserted during the period of time, to inhibit the assertion of the arm input by the break logic control and asserts the abrupt break input to the abrupt break logic.
