Abstract:
A shared diagnosis method may be for an electronic integrated system embedding a plurality of memory units associated with Built In Self Test (BIST) hardware portions for executing a test on memory locations of the memory units. A FAIL signal may be provided from the hardware portions, together with the memory locations of the memory units on which the test is executed. The method may include loading of address, state and data signals, generated during the test on the memory locations, in a series of bitmapping registers and supplied by multiplexer devices, which receive as inputs the address, state, and data signals from the memory units and from the hardware portions. The enabling for the loading of the bitmapping registers is through the processing of a Fail signal in a counter supplied by a multiplexer device receiving the Fail signals from the hardware portions.
Abstract:
An asynchronous set-reset circuit device for testing activity performed by an Automatic Test Patterns Generation tool may include a pair of logic gates having at least two inputs each, and a logic gate structure coupled upstream from the pair of logic gates. The logic gate structure may be for driving one respective input of the pair of logic gates and may have inputs receiving a pair of test command signals. The asynchronous set-reset circuit device may also include a plurality of feedback connections between outputs of the pair of logic gates and respective inputs of the logic gate structure.
