    摘要: An array built-in self test (ABIST) system includes a first latch having a first data input, a first scan input and first output and a second latch having a second data input, a second scan input and a second output. The system also includes a first ABIST logic block coupled to the first output that compares a first expected value with a first data value received at the first data input and provided to the first ABIST logic block after a first clock is applied to the first latch. The system also includes a second ABIST logic block coupled to the second output that compares a second expected value with a second data value received at the second data input and provided to the second ABIST logic block after a second clock is applied to the second latch.

    摘要: A soft-fust test algorithm is distributed on-chip from an ABSIT engine through an LSSD shift register chain to dynamically evaluate a plurality of arrays with redundancy compensation for bad elements and repair those that are fixable. Using single-bit MISR error evaluation an ABSIT test sequence is executed concurrently on all arrays through the shift register chain. If any arrays are in error, redundancy compensation is employed and the ABIST test is repeated for all possible array redundant combinations until a functional configuration for each array is identified or all possible redundant combinations have been tried. Once functioning array configurations are verified, the associated soft-fuse states can be used to blow fuses and/or extracted for further system setup, permanent fuse-blowing and yield analysis. Multiple shift register chains driven by separate ABIST engines may be required to test all arrays on a chip.

    摘要: An output of an element under test is captured and stored, through a multiplexer, in a capture register. At a clock edge (either rising or falling edge) the element under test catches the “edge” and “strobes” the output. The multiplexer is strobed, and the delay and duty cycle are measured. Both the rising and falling edge are used as the timer.

    摘要: A soft-fuse test algorithm is distributed on-chip from an ABIST engine through an LSSD shift register chain to dynamically evaluate a plurality of arrays with redundancy compensation for bad elements and repair those that are fixable. Each arrays outputs are monitored by a different multiple input signature register (MISR) with an initial data pattern seed that provides a final desired state of the MISR with either all “0”s or all “1”s, allowing for a simple “single-bit” MISR error evaluation of the monitored array. Using the above single-bit MISR error evaluation technique an ABIST test sequence is executed concurrently on all arrays through the shift register chain. If any arrays are in error, redundancy compensation is employed and the ABIST test is repeated for all possible array redundant combinations until a functional configuration for each array is identified or all possible redundant combinations have been tried. Once functioning array configurations are verified, the associated soft-fuse states can be used to blow fuses and/or extracted for further system setup, permanent fuse-blowing and yield analysis. Multiple shift register chains driven by separate ABIST engines may be required to test all arrays on a chip.

    摘要: Disclosed is testing multi-port array macros where latches and logic are used to control the relationship between the write and read port of the array. This makes allowance for many different configurations of reading and writing the array. This also allows for greater test coverage than the previous method, which simply inverted one of the write address bits to form the read address.
