    摘要: In one or more embodiments, a data processing system can include at least one core capable of executing instructions of an instruction set architecture and a triggered memory map access (tMMA) system coupled to the at least one core. The tMMA system can receive one or more events and, in response, perform one or more actions. For example, the actions can include transactions which can include a write to a an address of the memory map, a read from an address of the memory map, a read followed by write to two respective addresses of the memory map, and/or a fetch transaction. A result of a transaction (e.g., data read, data written, error, etc.) can be used in generating a trace message. For example, the tMMA system can generate a trace message that includes the result of the transaction and send the trace message to a trace message bus.

    摘要: A method is presented for built-in redundancy analysis of a semiconductor memory device. The method does not require retention of an entire memory bitmap, and may be implemented on-chip and integrated within existing BIST circuitry. The regular memory is comprehensively tested, and defective rows and columns are flagged for replacement by redundant rows and/or columns; the elements containing the most defects are the first to be flagged. If all of the defective memory locations can be replaced using redundant rows and columns, the method designates the memory as repairable; a repair solution may then be scanned out of the memory device. The method is believed to provide a fast, cost-effective means of testing and repairing memory devices, with a consequent improvement in production yields.

    摘要: An efficient methodology for detecting and rejecting faulty integrated circuits with embedded memories utilizing stress factors during the manufacturing production testing process. In the disclosed embodiment of the invention, a stress factor is applied to an integrated circuit having built-in-self-test (BIST) circuitry and built-in-self-repair (BISR) circuitry. A BIST run is then performed on a predetermined portion of the integrated circuit to detect a set of faulty memory locations. The results of this first BIST run are stored. A second condition is applied to the die and a second BIST run is executed to generate a second set of faulty memory locations. The results of the second BIST run are stored and compared with the first result. If the results differ, the integrated circuit is rejected. Thus, a methodology for screening out field errors at the factory is disclosed using BIST/BISR circuitry.

    摘要: A single-chip integrated circuit includes a memory array, a built-in self test circuit and a pause circuit. The built-in self test circuit is coupled to the memory array and is adapted to execute a sequence of write and read operations on the memory array. The pause circuit is coupled to and activated by the built-in self test circuit. When activated, the pause circuit pauses the sequence of write and read operations for a pause time period.
