    摘要: An associated memory structure having a plurality of memories amenable for testing and a method of testing the memories is provided. First and second memories are formed, wherein data in the first memory provides a basis for at least a portion of the input to the second memory during functional operation of two memories. Preferably, an output latch for receiving the output test data from the first memory is provided. Means are provided for loading the first memory with data which is utilized as a basis for providing at least a portion of the input to the second memory. An access path from the output port of the first memory to the input port of the second memory allows use of the data in the first memory to generate at least a portion of the input to the second memory. The first memory is first tested independently of the second memory. Thereafter, the first memory is loaded with preconditioned data that is used as a basis for inputs to the second memory during testing of the second memory. The second memory is then tested by generating inputs to the first memory during testing of the second memory. Thus, outputs of the first memory constitute at least a portion of test data inputted to the second memory. A latch is provided to capture the output of the test data from the second memory.

    摘要: The present invention, provides a single BIST which can test various memories of different sizes, types and characteristics by using a state machine to select and generate all patterns required for testing all of the memories on the chip, and impressing all of the data, including expected data, and address information on all of the memories simultaneously. The BIST also generates unique (separate) control signals for the various memories and impresses these control signals on the various memories. The BIST selectively asserts the various control signals so as to apply (write) the data and to read and capture (load result) failure information only to/from those memories whose unique controls are asserted. Selective assertion of a memory's write enable signal prevents multiple writes to a location which can potentially mask cell write and leakage defects while selective assertion of a memory's load result signal is performed only when valid memory output data is expected so as not to capture false error information. The control signals instruct those memories that do not use a particular sequence of inputs or any portion of a given sequence of inputs to "ignore" such signals, thereby generating the necessary signals to form the test patterns for each and every memory, the data and address information for those patterns, the control signals to write and read each memory, and capture error information for that particular memory. Hence, a single BIST can be used to test a multiplicity of memories of different sizes and different types.

    摘要: A memory Array Built-In Self-Test (ABIST) circuit is disclosed that will test a multi-port memory array. A programmable pattern generator for the ABIST circuit allows for different R/W data operations to be performed at the same or adjacent address locations within a multi-port memory array. The programmable pattern generator comprises a data generator, a read/write controller, and an address counter, each having the same number of outputs as ports of the multi-port memory array. The programmable pattern generator also comprises a frequency controller. The data generator is programmed with the appropriate data patterns for the memory array, and the read/write controller is programmed with the appropriate read/write patterns for the memory array. The address counter is to provide the same or different addresses on each port of the multi-port array, and the frequency controller is programmed with the appropriate frequency information to determine the number of read/write operations per cell in the memory array. The combination of programmable data, programmable read/write sequences, programmable address counter, and programmable frequency allows for determistic testing of a multi-port memory array, a plurality of single-port memory arrays, or a combination thereof by providing unique read/write sequences to the same or to adjacent memory locations.

    摘要: A topology for arranging a plurality of transistors between a signal source and an off-chip receiver, using a single power supply voltage. A pass through NFET has a gate controlled by a network comprised of two transistors arrayed between the power supply voltage and the drain of the NFET, which limits overshoots to the power supply voltage and reduces undershoots. Further reduction of undershoots is accomplished by an additional network of transistors, optimally including a PFET in series with the pass through NFET.

    摘要: A bow mounted vessel propulsion system is designed to exploit the characteristics of a self-producing vessel lubricating boundary layer of air or air bubbles formed during water surface interaction by the vessel's hull during vessel movement. This boundary layer of air/air bubbles will be produced at the bow of the vessel and, during forward motion, is superimposed upon the surface of the water as the vessel's hull passes over, reducing the frictional drag of the hull as it moves across and through the water. The system has a propulsion means such as a water surface-piercing propeller or water jet nozzles, which will propel the vessel forward and, at the same time, by action of propeller rotation (drawing air into and intermixing) in the water or water jet movement, will create the air bubbles which produce the hull-lubricating phenomenon. The hull is a substantially flat-bottomed planning hull with two linear rails on each lengthwise outer edge of the bottom surface of the hull. The rails extend downward into the water at a sufficient depth to be able to keep the boundary layer of air bubbles from escaping out from the sides of the hull bottom when the vessel is in forward motion.

    摘要: A redundancy system formed on a semiconductor chip is provided which includes circuits for testing a memory array to locate a faulty element therein, a register for storing an address of the faulty element and electrical fuses blown in response to binary digits of the address stored in the register upon application of an enable signal from a single input to the semiconductor chip. The enable signal passes through logic circuits on the chip such that the fuses cannot be programmed or blown unless the enable signal is present. An address decoder coupled to outputs from the fuses substitutes a redundant element for the faulty element.
