Abstract: In some aspects, the present disclosure provides a method for testing an integrated circuit (IC). In some configurations, the method includes determining, by a test controller embedded in the IC, a change in operation of the IC from a normal mode to a test mode. The method also includes communicating, by the test controller to a chain of data storage elements in the IC: a first test signal configured to change an input/output (I/O) function of a first IC pin, and a second test signal configured to apply one of a plurality of test functions to each data storage element in the chain of data storage elements. The method also includes, receiving, via a second IC pin, a test clock signal configured to control a latch function of each data storage element in the chain of data storage elements.

Abstract: Test architectures for multi-die chips are provided herein according to embodiments of the present disclosure. In certain aspects, an exemplary test architecture enables an external tester to perform various tests on a multi-die chip that includes multiple dies. In a first test mode, the test architecture enables the external tester to currently perform die-level tests on the multiple dies. In a second test mode, the test architecture enables the external tester to perform a chip-level test on the multi-die chip. The chip-level test may include die-to-die tests for testing interconnections between the multiple dies on the multi-die chip. The chip-level test may also include a boundary input/output (I/O) test for testing external connections between the multi-die chip and one or more devices external to the multi-die chip.

Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) is disclosed herein for embedded memory testing with storage borrowing. In an example aspect, an integrated circuit includes a functional logic block, a memory block, and test logic. The functional logic block includes multiple storage units and is configured to store functional data in the multiple storage units during a regular operational mode. The test logic is configured to perform a test on the memory block during a testing mode. The test logic is also configured to retain memory test result data in the multiple storage units of the functional logic block during the testing mode.
