    摘要: Error correction is selectively applied to data, such as repair data to be stored in a fusebay for BIST/BISR on an ASIC or other semiconductor device. Duplicate bit correction and error correction code state machines may be included, and selectors, such as multiplexers, may be used to enable one or both types of correction. Each state machine may include an indicator, such as a “sticky bit,” that may be activated when its type of correction is encountered. The indicator(s) may be used to develop quality and yield control criteria during manufacturing test of parts including embodiments of the invention.

    摘要: Fuse macros of identical number of pages are serially arranged to form the same number of fusebay pages each having a length equal to the sum of the respective fuse macro page lengths. Each fuse macro has an enable latch configured to allow activation of one fuse macro at a time. A fusebay control device connected to a repair register may store data in and retrieve data from the fusebay. Next available fuse location is determined in programming mode so that data from a next repair pass may start where the last data ended.

    摘要: The status of multiple on-chip power supply systems is indicated for use in modifying chip test flow and diagnosing chip failure. Digital compliance signals are received, each compliance signal associated with one of multiple on-chip power supplies. Each power supply has an associated compliance level, and each compliance signal indicates whether its associated power supply is operating at the associated compliance level. The compliance signals are converted into a power supply status signal indicating status of the compliance signals associated with the power supply. The power supply status signal is output. If a power supply is operating at its associated compliance level, the output power supply status signal indicates that the power supply is passing. If the power supply is not operating at its associated compliance level, the output power supply status signal indicates that the power supply is failing. If a power supply is failing, a memory test may be aborted, simplifying chip failure diagnosis.
