摘要:
A test circuit (10) is connected to a package pin of an integrated circuit via the first node (16). By setting the voltage on the package pin to a sufficient voltage, the test circuit becomes operable to measure DC characteristics of devices in the test circuit. The DC characteristics of the test circuit devices, such as resistors (26 and 34), diodes (44) and transistors (30 and 32) are used to estimate the AC characteristics of the actual integrated circuit. The AC characteristic estimations may be used to screen parts into various speed classes.

A register file for a bit slice ALU includes a static RAM array (86) which is addressable by two input read addresses. The addresses decoded by decoders (104) and (106) for input to the array (86). The array (86) simultaneously outputs two data words in response to two read addresses to sense amps (94) and (98). Data can be written into the memory by storing it in a data latch (100) and addressing it with a separate write address. The separate write address is latched in a write address (108) which is enabled on the rising clock edge by control circuit (114).

A multiplying circuit (10) receives a multiplicand A and multiplies it by multiplier B. An Octal recoder (18) recodes the multiplier B into octal digits having a value from 4 to -4. A tripling generator determines the product of three times the multipicand. Partial product generators (22a-h) connected to the Octal recoder multiplex between the multiplicand A and the 3*A product, and include shifter and inverter circuitry to generate the partial products. Signed digit adders (24a-d, 26a-b and 28) add the partial products.

A TTL gate (22) includes a current generating circuit (24) comprising an NPN transistor (30) having its base coupled to a diode (24) and its emitter coupled to one of the gate's output transistors (14). Transistor (30) enables diode (24) to deliver a high current of short duration to the output OUT responsive to a low-to-high output transition. The current provides low-to-high output transition while protecting output transistor (14) from damaging currents caused by a short circuit at output OUT.
