    Abstract: An apparatus includes a debugger circuit, debug pins, and a test controller circuit. The test controller circuit is configured to, in a programming mode, determine a subset of the debug pins used in programming the apparatus. The test controller circuit is further configured to save a designation of the subset of the debug pins. The test controller circuit is further configured to, in a test mode subsequent to the programming mode, use the designation to route the subset of the debug pins used in programming the apparatus to the debugger circuit for debug input and output with the server.

    Abstract: A clock monitor includes a test clock input, as a reference clock input, another clock input, a measurement circuit, and control logic. The measurement circuit generates a measurement of a frequency or a duty cycle of the test clock input using the reference clock input, which is compared to a threshold. The control logic determines whether the measurement exceeded the threshold and, based on the measurement exceeding the threshold, cause generation of another measurement of a frequency or a duty cycle using the third clock input in combination with the first clock input or the reference clock input. The control logic may determine whether the other measurement exceeded a threshold and, based on such a determination, further determine that the test clock input or the reference clock input are faulty.

    Abstract: A constant current source, a stable time base and a capacitor are used to self-check operation of an analog-to-digital convertor (ADC) by charging the capacitor for a pre-determined amount of time to produce a voltage thereon. This voltage will be proportional to the amount of time that the capacitor was charged. Multiple points on the ADC transfer function can be verified in this self-check procedure simply by varying the amount of time for charging of the capacitor. Relative accuracy among test points may then be easily obtained. Absolute accuracy may be obtained by using an accurate clock reference for the time base, a known current source and capacitor value.
