摘要:
An integrated circuit includes a circuit component, a first control circuit and a switchable resistance network. An input voltage is fed to the circuit component on the input side. A control signal generated by the first control circuit is fed to the control terminal of the circuit component. With the switchable resistance network, the first resistance or the second resistance is connected between an output terminal of the circuit component and the output terminal of the integrated circuit to generate a voltage drop between the input side and the output terminal of the circuit component. The integrated circuit makes it possible to generate a current at the output terminal of the circuit component in a manner dependent on the control signal and the voltage dropped between the input side and the output terminal of the circuit component. Families of characteristic curves of transistors of an integrated circuit are determined by the integrated circuit.

An integrated semiconductor memory, which can be operated in a normal operating state and a test operating state, includes a current pulse circuit with an input terminal for applying an input signal. The current pulse circuit is connected to an output terminal via an interconnect for carrying a current. In the test operating state, the current pulse circuit generates at least one first current pulse with a first, predetermined time duration in a first test cycle and at least one second current pulse with a second, unknown time duration in a subsequent second test cycle. In addition to a first current flowing on the interconnect in the normal operating state, a second current flows on the interconnect during the first test cycle and a third current flows during the second test cycle in the test operating state.

An integrated circuit includes a current generator circuit with a first input terminal for applying a reference voltage and a second input terminal for applying an input voltage, which is generated internally from an externally applied supply voltage by a voltage generator circuit. The current generator circuit is connected to an output terminal via an interconnect. A first current flows on the interconnect in a test operating state of the integrated circuit. The current generator circuit generates a first partial current in a first test cycle of a test operating state and a second partial current in a subsequent second test cycle. The partial currents are each superposed on the first current on the interconnect. Consequently, three currents occur at the output terminal during the test operating state. The internally generated input voltage of the current generator circuit is determined from the three currents and the reference voltage.

Integrated semiconductor circuits, in particular, dynamic random access memories include a multiplicity of generator circuits for generating internal voltage levels from an externally applied supply voltage. During testing, the internal voltage levels are altered by the output voltage generated at the output of the generator circuit being adapted to an externally applied test voltage. If the test voltage is outside a tolerance range, the semiconductor circuit maybe destroyed. A protection circuit connected in parallel with the generator circuit limits the output voltage.

An integrated semiconductor memory includes memory cells that store a first data record has at least one datum with a first or second data value and a second data record has at least one datum with the first or second data value. The integrated semiconductor memory has a combination circuit that generates the third data record on the output side from the data records fed to the combination circuit on the input side to ascertain based on the third data record whether the first and second data records have been fed to the combination circuit on the input side. The combination circuit generates the datum of the third data record with the first data value, if the first and second data records were fed to the combination circuit on the input side.

An interface between a test access port of an integrated circuit chip and a test equipment, which is designed to perform a functional test of the chip, is provided. The interface includes electric pads on either sides of the chip and the test equipment. The pads are arranged to interact by means of capacitive coupling, when a test data signal is input to one of the pads. Preferably, both pads are connected with either a receiver or a driver depending on the direction of the data flow. The electric pads relating to the chip's side may be arranged within the wiring substrate of a chip package, particularly along edge portion of the substrate, which encompasses an inner portion of the substrate, in which a ball-grid-array can be formed.
