    摘要: An integrated circuit 2 provided with multiple functional units 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16 for performing data processing operations as part of advancing execution of a data processing task by the integrated circuit 2. Activity detection circuitry 26 determines which of these functional circuits is inactive at the given time. If a functional is inactive, then scan control circuitry 28 may perform a scan test operation thereon using an associated serial scan chain 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44.

    摘要: A scan chain cell 24 is provided with a built-in delay testing capability. An inverter 32 generates an inverted form of the cell output which is available within the scan chain cell 24 for rapid use in forming a transition at the cell output Q. Clock gating circuitry 36, 38 is responsive to a hold signal to block the functional path 34, 26, 28 through the scan chain cell and hold the output signal when desired. The functional clock clk may be clocked twice at speed to trigger capture of the results of processing the output of the scan chain cell 24 for the non-inverted value followed by the (internally generated) inverted value, i.e. a signal transition. In this way delay testing of the functional circuitry 18 can be performed.

    摘要: In order to test the memory access signal connections between a data processing circuit, such as a processor core 2, and a memory 4, a subset of memory access signal connections 8 are provided with associated scan chain cells 10 so that they may be directly tested. The remainder memory access signal connections 12 which are common to all the expected configurations of the memory 4 are tested by being driven by the processor core 2 itself with data being passed through the memory and captured back within the processor core 2 for checking.

    摘要: Testing of the test signal connections to a functional block of circuitry within an integrated circuit is made using wrapper serial scan chain cells of a wrapper serial scan chain. These wrapper cells can then be used to validate that the correct signals are reaching test signal inputs and the correct signals are reaching their destination from test signal outputs when that functional block of circuitry is incorporated within a larger design, e.g., a system-on-chip design.

    摘要: Within an integrated circuit 2 a functional block of circuitry 6 has an associated test wrapper circuit 10. The functional block of circuitry 6 includes functional latches 14 at least some of which may also serve as shared test latches 18 within the test wrapper circuitry 10. Separate reset signals reset_wrp, reset_int are generated for the test latches and shared test latches 18 as distinct from the functional latches 14. Thus, during testing, power consuming activity of the functional latches 14 can be suppressed if it is not desired to test the functional block of circuitry 6 itself. This is a particularly useful technique when a functional block of circuitry 6 is required to operate in an extest mode in which output signals from it are required to be driven so that other elements in the overall design may be tested and yet the internal action of the functional block of circuity 6 is not under test.
