    • An integrated circuit and method for testing memory on that integrated circuit are provided. The integrated circuit comprises processing logic operable to perform data processing operations on data, and a number of memory units operable to store data for access by the processing logic. A memory test controller is also provided which is operable to execute test events in order to seek to detect any memory defects in the number of memory units. The memory test controller comprises a storage operable to store event defining information for each of a plurality of test events forming a sequence of test events to be executed, and an interface which, during a single programming operation, receives the event defining information for each of the plurality of test events and causes that event defining information to be stored in the storage. Event processing logic within the memory test controller is then operable, following the single programming operation, to execute the sequence of test events. This provides an efficient technique for enabling a sequence of test events to be programmed at run time.

    • A memory self-test system is provided comprising a self-test controller operable in self-test mode to generate a sequence of generated memory addresses for performing memory access operations associated with the memory test algorithm having an associated memory cell physical access pattern. A programmable re-mapper is operable to re-map the sequence of generated memory addresses derived from the self-test instruction to a sequence of re-mapped memory addresses. The programmable re-mapper performs this re-mapping in response to programmable mapping selection data. The re-mapping of the generated memory addresses to re-mapped memory addresses ensures that the memory cell accesses performed during execution of the memory self-test are consistent with the associated memory cell physical access pattern regardless of the particular implementation of the memory array.

    • Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to scan clock waveform generation. One embodiment utilizes global and local circular shift registers to provide a series of shift/capture pulses at a manageable frequency for the tester and launch pulses that are phase shifted in order to provide for at-speed testing. Therefore, scan test patterns may be shifted in or out of state elements at lower frequencies as compared to the normal operating frequency of the integrated circuit being tested, while still allowing for at-speed testing. An alternate embodiment utilizes a circular shift register in combination with static storage devices and waveform generators to provide the shift/capture pulses and launch pulses. Embodiments of the present invention also allow for clock inversion where the clock and clock bar signals are dependent during normal mode and independent during scan test mode.
    • 本发明的实施例一般涉及扫描时钟波形生成。 一个实施例使用全局和局部圆形移位寄存器来提供针对测试器的可管理频率的一系列移位/捕获脉冲和相移的启动脉冲,以便提供高速测试。 因此,与待测集成电路的正常工作频率相比,扫描测试图案可以以更低的频率移入或移出状态元件,同时仍允许进行高速测试。 替代实施例利用与静态存储设备和波形发生器组合的循环移位寄存器来提供移位/捕获脉冲和启动脉冲。 本发明的实施例还允许时钟反转,其中时钟和时钟条信号在正常模式期间是依赖的,并且在扫描测试模式期间是独立的。
