    • A method for providing interactive and iterative testing of integrated circuits including the receiving of a first failing region. The first failing region corresponds to one or more circuits on the integrated circuit. The method generates a set of adaptive algorithmic test patterns for the one or more circuits in response to the first failing region and to a logic model of the integrated circuit. Expected results for the test patterns are determined. The method includes applying the test patterns to the first failing region on the integrated circuit resulting in actual results for the test patterns. The expected results to the actual results are compared. The method also transmits mismatches between the expected results and the actual results to a fault simulator. The method includes receiving a second failing region from the fault simulator, the second failing region created in response to the mismatches and the logic model, and the second failing region corresponding to a subset of the one or more circuits on the integrated circuit.

    • The present invention, enables complementing the state of either the master (L1) or slave latch (L2) in the shift register latches (SRLs) without changing the state of the other. When this is done after properly loading the LSSD scan chain using a normal scan chain sequence, the next system clock sequence can be used to launch a desired transition from each SRL in the scan chain. The actual mechanism for complementing the state of latches in LSSD scan chains can vary depending on which one of the L1 or L2 latch is being complemented; details of the actual scan chain and Shift Register Latch (SRL) design; and the semiconductor chip circuit technology. The complementing function can be provided as an integral part of the SRL design with minimal impact to system path and performance. An alternate complementing method would be to use a self complementing latch function. In this design, the latch to be complemented does not require an additional input containing the complement value, but rather uses its current state as reference and switches to the opposite state. To accomplish this, a complement signal similar to a latch reset (i.e., reset-to-complement) can be used.
    • 本发明能够在不改变另一个状态的情况下补充移位寄存器锁存器(SRL)中的主(L1)或从锁存器(L2)的状态。 当使用正常扫描链序列正确加载LSSD扫描链后,可以使用下一个系统时钟序列来启动扫描链中每个SRL所需的转换。 补充LSSD扫描链中锁存器状态的实际机制可以根据L1或L2锁存器中的哪一个进行补充而变化; 实际扫描链和Shift Register Latch(SRL)设计的细节; 和半导体芯片电路技术。 补充功能可以作为SRL设计的一个组成部分提供,对系统路径和性能影响最小。 一种替代的补充方法是使用自补充锁存功能。 在这种设计中,要补充的锁存器不需要包含补码值的附加输入,而是使用其当前状态作为参考,并切换到相反的状态。 为了实现这一点,可以使用类似于锁存器复位(即,复位到补码)的补码信号。

    • The present invention can include a method and system for testing IC chips, including the steps of performing a binary search to a first failing pattern, determining a failing sink latch, performing a back cone trace to determine all source latches, determining source latch logic states, positioning the source latch logic states in a scan chain, exercising a chip scan path by applying logic transitions on the source latches in the absence of a system L1 clock, and observing an exercised failing circuit. The invention can include the use of PICA techniques to observe the exercised failing circuit. In another embodiment, the invention can include using LBIST or a WRP technique to search for the failing pattern. In yet another it includes the step of using an algorithm to exercise the exercised failing circuit. In another embodiment, the method includes the step of creating a net pattern to be scanned including a sum of an original pattern causing a failing circuit to be exercised, and one or more shifted versions of the original pattern. The algorithm can include a step where one of the shifted versions is shifted a number of clocks wherein the number of clocks is equal to the length of the original pattern. In one embodiment, one of the shifted versions is shifted a number of clocks, wherein the number of clocks is chosen so that the sum of the original pattern and the one of the shifted versions does not cause a scan conflict. In another embodiment the method further includes the step of using an algorithm to densify the pattern set.
