Abstract: In some embodiments, an integrated circuit may include a memory self-testing circuit and a memory having a plurality of data storage locations, each location having a unique address. The integrated circuit may further include an output including at least one register capable of storing an address of a memory location where an error has been detected during execution of the memory self-testing circuit. Further, the integrated circuit may include an on-chip clock controller (OCC) circuit including a first output to provide a first clock signal and a second output to provide a second clock signal according to a mode of operation. In a scan mode, the OCC circuit may be configured to enable the first clock signal and the second clock signal and to selectively enable the first clock signal and the second clock signal to be mutually exclusive during a scan capture portion of the scan mode.

Abstract: An on-chip clock (OCC) circuit of an integrated circuit includes a clock generator, an OCC controller, and an OCC observation circuit. The clock generator is configured to generate a plurality of clock signals. The OCC controller is configured to receive the clock signals and generate an OCC output for use by the scan chains of logic blocks. The OCC observation circuit is configured to generate a status output on a status output port based on the OCC output during an at-speed capture phase and a scan enable signal. Patterns of the status output with respect to the scan enable signal include a valid pattern indicating that the OCC output includes a valid number of at-speed capture pulses, a first invalid pattern indicating a first error in the OCC output, and a second invalid pattern indicating a second error in the OCC output that is different from the first error.
