    摘要: A method for performing a logical built-in self-test of an integrated circuit is disclosed. The method includes performing a flush and scan test to determine whether the scan chains function correctly. If one of the scan chains does not function correctly, the logical built-in self-test is terminated. If each of the scan chains functions correctly, a structural test of the design-for-test logic supporting LBIST is performed to determine whether the LBIST design-for-test logic functions correctly. If the LBIST design-for-test logic does not function correctly, the logical built-in self-test is terminated. If the LBIST design-for-test logic functions correctly, a level sensitive scan design test of the functional combinational logic is performed using the logic supporting LBIST design-for-test to determine if the integrated circuit functions correctly.

    摘要: This invention involves the use of the JTAG functional test patterns and exercisors to solve the problem of diagnosing broken scan chains in either a serial or a lateral broadside insertion manner across all latch system ports and to analyze the response data efficiently for the purpose of readily identifying switching and non-switching latches with the next to last non-switching latch being the point of the break within a defective scan chain(s). This comprehensive latch perturbation, in conjunction with iterative diagnostic algorithms is used to identify and to pinpoint the defective location in such a broken scan chain(s). This JTAG Functional test function and the JTAG test patterns ultimately derived therefrom, can take on different forms and origins, some external to a product and some internal to a product.

    摘要: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for implementing AC scan diagnostic of delay and AC scan chain defects in an integrated circuit chip under test using Functional Architecture Verification Patterns (AVPs) for enabling rapidly localizing identified defects to a failing Shift Register Latch (SRL). An Architecture Verification Pattern (AVP) test pattern set is generated using a chip design input and simulation. AVP test vectors are applied for starting chip clocks and initiating testing, such as Logic Built-In-Self-Test (LBIST).

    摘要: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided implementing a scan chain diagnostics technique. The diagnostics technique includes employing fuses coupled to latches of the scan chain to load a known logic value into the latches at known locations of the scan chain, and then unloading values from the scan chain, and if the scan chain is defective (for example, based on the unloaded logic values), then localizing a defect in the scan chain from the unloaded logic values by comparison thereof with the known locations of the latches of the scan chain loaded with the known logic value via the fuses. The scan chain may be predesigned with fuses spaced periodically across the chain every n latches to facilitate subsequent localization of a detected defect in the scan chain.
