    • A system for testing an integrated circuit, and particularly a gate array, is disclosed which includes, prior to coupling the array to form a user-designed circuit, predesigned logic that enables testing of the user-designed circuit. The predesigned logic allows logic blocks in the array to operate in “freeze” mode or to operate in normal mode, where normal mode is defined by the user-designed circuit. Much of the same circuitry in the logic blocks is, in fact, used in both modes of operation, thus minimizing circuitry added due to test. When the logic blocks are selected to be frozen, the logic blocks behave as a series of daisy-chained master-slave flip-flops. Stimulus data is shifted into the array and captured data is shifted out of the array through the daisy-chained flip-flops. Nonetheless, when data is shifted into and out of the daisy-chained flip-flops, the master latch and the slave latch of each flip-flop can be set to receive independent values and the data captured by each of the master and slave latches can be independently shifted out and analyzed. Although when frozen, the logic blocks behave as daisy-chained flip-flops, use of the logic blocks for testing purposes does not depend upon placement of sequential elements in the user-designed circuit in the logic blocks. In other words, in normal mode, a logic block can implement combinational, sequential, or other functions and still later be used to drive out stimulus values or capture results. Moreover, each logic block is further equipped for addressable mode control, allowing selected logic blocks to be exercised in isolation once stimulus data is shifted in, simplifying test generation and improving fault coverage. Using a logic block in accordance with the invention results in a high level of fault coverage, while placing few limitations on the user's circuit design.
    • 公开了用于测试集成电路,特别是门阵列的系统,其包括在耦合阵列以形成用户设计的电路之前,预先设计的逻辑,其能够测试用户设计的电路。 预先设计的逻辑允许阵列中的逻辑块以“冻结”模式运行或在正常模式下运行,其中正常模式由用户设计的电路定义。 事实上,逻辑块中的大部分相同的电路用于两种工作模式,从而最小化由于测试而添加的电路。 当逻辑块被选择为冻结时,逻辑块表现为一系列菊花链主主机触发器。 激励数据移入阵列,捕获的数据通过菊花链式触发器从阵列中移出。 然而,当数据被移入和移出菊花链触发器时,每个触发器的主锁存器和从锁存器可被设置为接收独立的值,并且由每个主锁存器和从锁存器捕获的数据可以 独立移出并分析。 尽管在冻结时,逻辑块表现为菊花链式触发器,但用于测试目的的逻辑块的使用并不取决于逻辑块中用户设计的电路中顺序元件的位置。 换句话说,在正常模式下,逻辑块可以实现组合,顺序或其他功能,并且稍后可用于驱出刺激值或捕获结果。 此外,每个逻辑块进一步配置为可寻址模式控制,允许一旦激励数据被移位,孤立地选择逻辑块,简化测试生成并提高故障覆盖。 使用根据本发明的逻辑块导致高水平的故障覆盖,同时对用户的电路设计几乎没有限制。
