    摘要: Disclosed are embodiments of a clock generation circuit, a design structure for the circuit and an associated method that provide deskewing functions and that further provide precise timing for both testing and functional operations. Specifically, the embodiments incorporate a deskewer circuit that is capable of receiving waveform signals from both an external waveform generator and an internal waveform generator. The external waveform generator can generate and supply to the deskewer circuit a pair of waveform signals for functional operations. The internal waveform generator can be uniquely configured with control logic and counter logic for generating and supplying a pair of waveform signals to the deskewer circuit for any one of built-in self-test (BIST) operations, macro-test operations, other test operations or functional operations. The deskewer circuit can selectively gate an input clock signal with the waveform signals from either the external or internal waveform generator in order to generate the required output clock signal.

    摘要: Boundary scan circuitry that includes a plurality of scan cells that each contain two scan registers each for storing a respective test value. During on-chip or inter-chip testing, one of the scan registers is responsive to a functional clock signal so that the test cell generates transition delay test data having at least one state transition made at the speed of the functional clock signal. The transition delay test data allows the integrity of on-chip functional circuitry or the integrity of inter-chip circuitry to be verified at full functional speed.

    摘要: A method for automatically generating test patterns for digital logic circuitry using an automatic test pattern generation tool. The method includes generating test patterns and applying faulty behavior to various paths within the digital logic circuitry. As each circuit path is tested, tested circuit nodes along the circuit path are marked as “exercised.” Subsequent test paths are assembled by avoiding marked circuit nodes. In this manner, coverage of paths tested may be increased and many circuit nodes can be tested efficiently.

    摘要: A circuit card unit comprising a memory card and attached heat exchanger comprising a thin, flexible, laminated strip of foil clad plastic, or wire mesh, affixed in thermally conductive contact to each card module and extended therefrom to facilitate removal of heat from the modules. In some embodiments, the exchanger strip extends from the modules on one side of the card to those of the other side in a self supporting, heat exchanger loop spaced over the memory card. In a somewhat more compact embodiment, the strip extends from modules on one card face, along the card itself, to the modules of the other card face. In a still further embodiment, the heat exchanger strip extends from the modules of the card to a heat sink such as the housing of the computer. Additionally, the heat exchanger strips may also function as a carrier for an identifying label printed on, or attached to, the planar surface of the strip.
