    摘要: This invention is a means to definitively establish the occurrence of various clock edges used in a design, balancing clock edges at various locations within an integrated circuit. Clocks entering from outside sources can be a source of on-chip-variations (OCV) resulting in unacceptable clock edge skewing. The present invention arranges placement of the various clock dividers on the chip at remote locations where these clocks are used. This minimizes the uncertainty of the edge occurrence.

    摘要: In an embodiment of the invention, a pipelined memory bank is tested by scanning test patterns into an integrated circuit. Test data is formed from the test patterns and shifted into a scan-in chain in the pipelined memory bank. The test data in the scan-in chain is launched into the inputs of the pipelined memory bank during a first clock cycle. Data from the outputs of the pipelined memory bank is captured in a scan-out chain during a second cycle where the time between the first and second clock cycles is equal to or greater than the read latency of the memory bank.
