Provided is a test apparatus comprising a plurality of testing sections and a synchronizing section that synchronizes operation of at least two testing sections among the plurality of testing sections. Each testing section transmits a synchronization standby command to the synchronizing section when a predetermined condition is fulfilled during execution of the corresponding program and the testing section enters a synchronization standby state, and on a condition that the synchronization standby commands have been received from all of one or more predetermined testing sections among the plurality of testing sections, the synchronizing section supplies a synchronization signal, which ends the synchronization standby state, in synchronization to two or more predetermined testing sections among the plurality of testing sections.

Provided is a test apparatus that tests a device under test, comprising a testing section that stores a program in which commands to be executed branch according to detected branching conditions and that tests the device under test by executing the program; and a log memory that stores test results of the testing section in association with command paths of the program executed to obtain the test results. The testing section sequentially changes a characteristic of a test signal supplied to the device under test, and judges pass/fail of the device under test for each characteristic of the test signal, and the log memory stores a test result of the testing section in association with a command path of the program, for each characteristic of the test signal.

After initializing a Direct Rambus DRAM under test with initialization data, an address, pattern data and mask data are provided to the memory to effect therein a byte-wise masked write of the pattern data, and parallel mask data is converted to plural pieces of serial mask data in accordance with burst addresses generated in a burst address generating means. Based on the bit logical value of each serial mask data, it is decided whether data of each byte is write-enabled or not in the byte-wise masked write, based on the bit logical value of each serial mask data and either one of the initialization data and the byte-wise masked written pattern data is selected to generate expectation data.

There is provided a test apparatus for testing a device under test, including a receiving section that receives a packet from the device under test, a packet data sequence storing section that stores a data sequence included in each type of packet and received data included in the packet received by the receiving section, a transmission data processing section that reads data from the packet data sequence storing section and generates a test data sequence by adjusting a predetermined portion of a data sequence of a packet to be transmitted to the device under test to have a value corresponding to the received data, and a transmitting section that transmits the test data sequence generated by the transmission data processing section to the device under test.
摘要:
A test pattern generator for generating a test pattern for testing electrical characteristics of an electrical device. The test pattern generator comprises a pattern memory (32), a pattern cache memory (54, 180 and 182), a vector memory (12), a read out controller (14 and 170), and a transfer controller (34 and 178). The pattern memory (32) stores the test pattern. The pattern cache memory (54, 180 and 182) stores the test pattern read out from the pattern memory (32). The vector memory (12) stores a vector instruction indicating an order of the test pattern to be generated. The read out controller (14 and 170) judges whether an address of the test pattern to be read out from the pattern memory (32) is to be jumped or not based on the vector instruction read out from the vector memory (12). The transfer controller (34 and 178) reads out the test pattern from the jumped address, and for transferring the jumped address to a pattern cache memory (54, 180 and 182) when the read out controller (14 and 170) judges the address is to be jumped.
