    摘要: A method and circuits for implementing aperture function calibration for Logic Built In Self Test (LBIST) diagnostics, and a design structure on which the subject circuit resides are provided. The aperture function calibration uses aperture calibration data, and an LBIST calibration channel having a predefined number of scan inversions between the aperture calibration data and a multiple input signature register (MISR). LBIST is run selecting the LBIST calibration channel and masking other LBIST channels to the MISR. A change in the MISR value, for example, from zero to a non-zero value, is identified and an aperture adjustment is calculated and used to identify any needed adjustment of aperture edges.

    摘要: A method and circuit for implementing enhanced Logic Built In Self Test (LBIST) diagnostics, and a design structure on which the subject circuit resides are provided. A plurality of pseudo random pattern generators (PRPGs) is provided, each PRPG comprising one or more linear feedback shift registers (LFSRs). Each respective PRPG includes an XOR feedback input selectively receiving a feedback from another PRPG and predefined inputs of the respective PRPG. A respective XOR spreading function is coupled to a plurality of outputs of each PRPG with predefined XOR spreading functions applying test pseudo random pattern inputs to LBIST channels for LBIST diagnostics.

    摘要: A system and method for improving the yield rate of a multiprocessor semiconductor chip that includes primary processor cores and one or more redundant processor cores. A first tester conducts a first test on one or more processor cores, and encodes results of the first test in an on-chip non-volatile memory. A second tester conducts a second test on the processor cores, and encodes results of the second test in an external non-volatile storage device. An override bit of a multiplexer is set if a processor core fails the second test. In response to the override bit, the multiplexer selects a physical-to-logical mapping of processor IDs according to one of: the encoded results in the memory device or the encoded results in the external storage device. On-chip logic configures the processor cores according to the selected physical-to-logical mapping.

    摘要: In a method of generating clock signals for a level-sensitive scan design latch, at least one test input signal is transmitted to a plurality of splitter leaves. Once the test input signal is stabilized at each of the splitter leaves, generating a shaped oscillator clock signal having a predetermined pattern of pulses from a central root is generated. At the plurality of splitter leaves, the test input signal is logically combined with the shaped oscillator clock signal, thereby generating a first latch clock signal and a second latch clock signal. The logically combining action includes applying a delay of less than one clock cycle to the shaped oscillator clock signal to generate a delayed oscillator clock signal; logically combining the delayed oscillator clock signal with a second signal so as to generate the first latch clock signal; and logically combining the shaped oscillator clock signal with a third signal so as to generate the second latch clock signal.
