    摘要: An exemplary embodiment of the present invention is a method for testing an integrated circuit. The method includes generating a test pattern and generating a reference signature corresponding to the test pattern. An integrated circuit test is executed in response to the test pattern and a result signature is generated in response to data output from executing the integrated circuit test. The result signature is compared to the reference signature and a current failing signature is created if the two don't match. The current failing signature is copy of the result signature. Common error analysis is executed in response to creating the current failing signature. Additional embodiments include a system and storage medium for testing an integrated circuit.

    摘要: A method for detecting unstable signatures when testing a VLSI chip that includes adding to an LFSR one or more save and restore registers for storing an initial seed consisting of 0s and 1s; loading the initial seed into the one or more save and restoring LFSR registers upon reaching a predetermined number of test loops; performing a signature stability test by loading said initial seed to said LFSR, executing the predetermined number of BIST test loops, and comparing the resulting MISR signature for differences versus a previous signature stored in a MISR save and restore register.

    摘要: A method for detecting unstable signatures when testing a VLSI chip that includes adding to an LFSR one or more save and restore registers for storing an initial seed consisting of 0s and 1s; loading the initial seed into the LFSR and one or more save and restore registers; initializing a MISR and running test loops. Upon reaching a predetermined number of test loops, moving a signature of the MISR to a shadow register; then, performing a signature stability test by loading the initial seed to the LFSR; executing the predetermined number of BIST test loops, and comparing a resulting MISR signature for differences versus a previous signature stored in a MISR save and restore register, wherein unloading is performed by way of serial MISR unloads and single bit XORs.
