    摘要: The present invention provides a method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for applying external clock and data patterns for TTP-LBIST. A simulation model for the logic under test is set up in a simulator. Next, a user sets up an external LBIST block, which comprises pre-verified internal clock and data pattern logic, and connects this block to the logic in the simulation model. The internal clock and data pattern logic provides the input patterns used in OPCG modes of LBIST. This internal clock and data pattern logic is already verified through the design effort. Therefore, the internal pattern generators become the external pattern generators in the simulation model. The external LBIST block applies the external clock and data patterns, and subsequently, the user receives and processes these output patterns to determine if the logic operates correctly.

    摘要: A method is provided for switching between two oscillator signals within an alignment element. In accordance with the method, one of the two oscillator signals one is selected as a first master signal in order to provide an output stepping signal at an output of the alignment element. The method comprises introducing a virtual stepping signal when a switch between the two oscillator signals occurs or when a failure in the first master signal is detected. The method further comprises sending the virtual stepping signal to the output of the alignment element in the event of a switch until an alignment with a new master signal is completed.

    摘要: A converter apparatus and method are provided that transforms an external low speed industry standard interface into an on-chip high speed serial link (HSSL). The converter of the present invention is preferably placed in close vicinity of the external interface. The HSSL operates at the system clock speed and, as a result, the HSSL interface signals can be readily treated like any other timed signal facilitating the physical design process. Because synchronization is performed once in the converter near the external interface and the signals along the HSSL of the present invention may be treated like any other timed signal, the need for interface units in each processing element of the chip to perform synchronization is eliminated. Thus, the complexity and silicon area used by the present invention is reduced. The converter enables the maximum speed for the serial interface, which is crucial in power-on-reset, manufacturing testing, and chip debugging.

    摘要: A design structure for a integrated circuit interfacing system may be embodied in a machine readable medium for designing, manufacturing or testing a integrated circuit. In one embodiment, the design structure specifies an integrated circuit that includes multiple interfaces. The design structure may specify that each of the interfaces couples to a respective set of registers or storage elements on the integrated circuit. The design structure may also specify a bridge circuit on the integrated circuit that switchably couples the two interfaces together such that one interface may communicate with the registers that associate with that interface as well as the registers that associate with the other interface.
