摘要： A method for testing an integrated circuit implemented in an electronic system. The method includes placing an integrated circuit (or portion thereof) that is implemented in an operational system (e.g., in a computer system) in an offline status. An electrical parameter of the integrated system (e.g., a voltage, clock frequency, etc.) is set, and a built-in self-test (BIST) is conducted. Any failures that occur during the BIST are recorded. Testing is then repeated for each of a plurality of predetermined values of the electrical parameter, recording any failures that occur. Once testing is complete a failure rate/range is determined for each of the predetermined values.

摘要： The described embodiments provide a configurable pulse generator circuit. More specifically, the described embodiments include a pulse generator circuit; an inverting difference oscillator (IDO) enabling circuit coupled to the pulse generator circuit; and a disable signal coupled to the IDO enabling circuit. When the disable signal is asserted, the IDO enabling circuit is disabled and the pulse generator circuit is configured as a pulse generator. In contrast, when the disable signal is deasserted, the IDO enabling circuit is enabled and the pulse generator circuit is configured as part of an IDO.

摘要： A repeater circuit is disclosed. The repeater circuit includes an input circuit coupled to receive a data input signal and a clock signal, and an output circuit configured to, when activated, drive an output signal on an output node.

A latch is coupled to the output circuit and it is configured to change a latch output state responsive to activation of the output circuit. The latch is configured to hold a state of the output node subsequent to deactivation of the output circuit. The input circuit is configured to activate the output circuit dependent on the clock signal. The deactivation circuit is configured to deactivate the output circuit independent of the clock signal.

摘要： A circuit implementing multiplexer, storage, and repeater functions is disclosed. The circuit includes first and second input stages having first and second data inputs, respectively. An output stage is configured to drive an output signal. The first input stage is configured to activate the output stage responsive to a first condition, while the second input stage is configured to activate the output stage responsive to a second condition. An intermediate stage is configured to deactivate the output stage at a first delay time subsequent to one of the first or second input stages activating the output stage. The repeater circuit also includes a storage element configured to store a state of the output signal, and further configured to cause the output node to be held at the state of the output signal subsequent to deactivation of the output stage.

摘要： A repeater circuit is disclosed. The circuit includes an input stage configured to receive an input signal and a clock signal. An output stage is configured to drive an output signal on an output node to a first state responsive to a first transition of the input signal on the input node concurrent with a first phase of the clock signal. The input stage is configured to activate a first driver circuit of the output stage responsive to a first transition of the input signal. A reverse stage is configured to assert a first inhibit signal at a delay time subsequent to activation of the first driver circuit, which is configured to be deactivated responsive to assertion of the first inhibit signal. Assertion of the first inhibit signal is prevented responsive to a second transition of the input data signal occurring before the delay time has elapsed.
