    摘要: A network of storage units has a data path which is at least a portion of the network. The network also has a key storage unit and a gateway storage unit. If the key storage unit stores a key value, the key storage unit transmits a key signal to the gateway storage unit. If the gateway storage unit does not store a gateway value or the key signal is not transmitted to the gateway storage unit, the gateway storage unit does not insert a data path segment in the data path. If the gateway storage unit stores a gateway value and the key signal is transmitted to the gateway storage unit, the gateway storage unit inserts the data path segment.

    摘要: A method for operating a secure semiconductor IP access server to support failure analysis. A client presents a test failure and failure type to an automated server which traverses an electronic product design, definition, and test database to report specifically those components and interconnect likely to cause the failure with geometrical information which may be displayed on the client. Other aspects of semiconductor IP are protected by the server by limiting the trace mechanism and renaming components.

    摘要: A processor (10) has an internal clock circuit (12), a CPU (14), and a test controller (16). The CPU (14) has a low-power mode of operation and a normal mode of operation. When in low power mode, the internal clock circuit isolates the CPU clock (18) from the internal clock (28) and pulls the internal clock (28) to a stable logic state to ensure that the CPU is not changing state and consuming power. The test controller (16) can be in a low power mode along with the CPU (14) or in a normal mode while the CPU (14) is in the low power mode via the test control signal (26). When the CPU is in low power mode and the controller (16) is in normal mode, the controller (16) tests the operation of the circuit (12) to logically ensure that handling of the clock (18) is proper when entering, maintaining and exiting the low power mode of operation.

    摘要: A network of storage units has a data path, which is at least a portion of the network. The network also has a dynamic time-varying or cycle-varying code generation unit and a code comparator unit that together make up an unlock signal generation unit; and a gateway storage unit. If the gateway storage unit does not store an unlock signal or the unlock signal generation unit does not generate and transmit an unlock signal, the gateway storage unit does not insert a data path segment in the data path. If the unlock signal generation unit is operated such that it generates an unlock signal, and it transmits that unlock signal to a gateway storage unit, and the gateway storage unit stores the unlock signal value, then the gateway storage unit inserts a data path segment into the data path.

    摘要: A programmable clock generator (220), which is part of an integrated circuit (IC) (210), provides clock signals (230) and (232) to various components of the IC. The clock generator includes a PLL (322) and one or more choppers (326, 328) which provide a desired waveform to the IC for testing purposes. When used in conjunction with a tester (212, 312), the IC can be scan tested at-speed using slower and less expensive testing equipment.
