摘要:
An apparatus enables a high quality test to be carried out within a short time, without forcing a severe design limitation on the designer and without an expensive tester. The apparatus includes a pattern generator built in an integrated circuit to generate pseudo random patterns as test patterns. A plurality of shift registers are configured with sequential circuit elements inside said integrated circuit. An automatic test pattern generating unit generates ATPG patterns. A pattern modifier modifies a portion, to which a predetermined value is required to be set in order to detect a fault, in said pseudo random patterns generated by said pattern generator, on a basis of said ATPG patterns, and inputs said modified pseudo random patterns to said shift registers.

摘要:
In processors having multiple cores, such as CMPs, an independent MISR test pattern compression circuit is provided for each logic block, which makes it possible to perform LSI tests more efficiently. A processor includes a plurality of logic block circuits, which include at least a first processor core circuit and a second processor core circuit, each processor core circuit having a scan chain circuit and being operable independently, and a common block circuit having a scan chain circuit and a cache circuit that is shared by the first processor core circuits and the second processor core circuits. The processor further includes, for each logic block, a test pattern generating circuit operable to generate a test pattern and input the test pattern to the scan chain of each logic block circuit, and a test pattern compression circuit operable to accept as input and compress the test pattern output by the scan chain of each logic block circuit.

A storage circuit, an integrated circuit and a scanning method are provided. The storage circuit includes a first storage element, and a second storage element connected to an output of the first storage element. The storage circuit includes a first setting circuit that is configured to set data of a first logic value to the first storage element when a clear signal is applied, and a second setting circuit that is configured to set data of a second logic value to the second storage element and transmit the second logic value data to a different storage circuit when a second clock signal is in an off state and the clear signal is applied.
