It uses a fail-pattern identification and a syndrome-format structure to identify faulty rows, faulty columns and single faulty word in the memory during the testing process, then exports the syndrome information. Based on the syndrome information, a redundancy analysis algorithm is applied to allocate the spare memory elements repairing the faulty memory cells. It has a sequencer with enhanced fault syndrome identification, a build-in redundancy-analysis circuit with improved redundancy utilization, and an address reconfigurable circuit with reduced timing penalty during normal access. The invention reduces the occupation time and the required capture memory space in the automatic test equipment. It also increases the repair rate and reduces the required area overhead.

    摘要: Provided is a measurement circuit for measuring a jitter of a clock signal. Delay elements delay the clock signal into delayed clock signal. Latches latch the delayed clock signals to indicate whether transition edges of the clock signal is within a window value which is corresponding to delays of the delay elements. Based on the latch result from the latches, a finite state machine generates control signals for controlling the delay elements. If the latch result indicates that the transition edges of the clock signal is not within the window value, the control signals adjust the delays of the delay elements and the window value. The jitter of the clock signal is measured based on the delays of the delay elements and the window value.
