摘要： A fault tolerant sequential memory includes primary and redundant memory rows (or columns) and primary and redundant shift registers. The redundant memory rows (or columns) and redundant shift registers are formed at the end of the serial chain. Each shift register of each primary and redundant memory block is interconnected with an independent, separately programmable multiplexer logic circuit. Each multiplexer logic circuit includes an independently programmable repair buffer for logically bypassing a defective primary memory block and associated shift registers within the primary memory array. Each redundant memory block includes a multiplexer logic circuit having an independently programmable repair buffer for logically enabling a redundant memory block and shift register at the end of the serial chain. Consequently, a faulty memory block, including its shift register and memory row (or column) is bypassed and is effectively removed from the shifting sequence. The redundant memory block, including a redundant shift register and a redundant row (or column), is inserted at the end of the shift register chain by opening a programmable fuse element.

摘要： According to the present invention, parallel testing of integrated circuit devices are facilitated such that it is not necessary that integrated circuit devices to be parallel tested be "ends only" devices. A side pad located along the sides, rather than the ends, of the integrated circuit device is electrically connected by muitiplexing circuitry to a corresponding configurable probe pad located along the ends of the device. During parallel testing of the device, the side pad is effectively tested when the configurable probe pad is probed and tested. While the configurable probe pad is tested during parallel testing, the side pad is not directly exercised. Following parallel testing, the side pad is bonded to the device package but the configurable probe pad is not bonded to the device package.
摘要翻译：根据本发明，集成电路器件的并行测试方便，因此并不需要将并联测试的集成电路器件设为“仅限端”器件。沿着集成电路器件的侧面而不是端部设置的侧焊盘通过多路复用电路电连接到沿着器件的端部设置的对应的可配置探针焊盘。在对器件进行并行测试时，可以对可配置的探头焊盘进行探测和测试时，对侧面焊盘进行有效测试。虽然在并行测试期间对可配置的探头焊盘进行了测试，但是侧面垫没有直接运行。在进行并行测试之后，侧面焊盘接合到器件封装，但是可配置的探针焊盘没有粘合到器件封装。

摘要： A push-pull output driver circuit is disclosed which includes control circuitry for controlling the gates of the driver transistors to effect precharge of the output terminal at the beginning of a cycle. Precharge is initiated at the beginning of each cycle, for example indicated by an address transition. The prior data state at the output is stored, and enables the opposing driver transistor from that which drove the stored prior data state by enabling a gated level detector with hysteresis, such as a Schmitt trigger, associated therewith. The transistor that drove the stored prior data state is disabled, thus precluding oscillations during precharge. The gated Schmitt triggers each receive the voltage of the output terminal and, when enabled, turn on a transistor which couples the output terminal to the gate of the driver transistor. The Schmitt triggers also control the precharge to terminate when the output terminal has reached an intermediate voltage, and so that oscillations are minimized as a result of the hysteresis characteristic. Connection of the output terminal to the gate of the precharging driver transistor helps to eliminate overshoot during precharge.

摘要： In the preferred embodiment of the invention, a first-in, first-out (FIFO) memory includes flag generation circuitry which utilizes a write clock counter and a read clock counter to provide the number of write clock pulses received. since the previous write reset signal and the number of read clock pulses received by the FIFO since the previous read reset signal. A subtractor circuit subtracts the number of read clock pulses from the number of write clock pulses, and this difference is compared in a comparator circuit to determine if the difference is greater than a preset value. This determination provides the information as to the relative fullness of the FIFO.
