چکیده
In this paper we present a microprocessor-based approach suitable for embedded flash memory testing in a System-on-achip (SOC) environment. The main novelty of the approach is the high flexibility, which guarantees easy exploitation of the same architecture to different memory cores. The proposed approach is compatible with the P1500 standard. A case study has been developed and demonstrates the advantages of the proposed core test strategy in terms of area overhead and test application time.

متن کاملExploiting Programmable BIST For The Diagnosis of Embedded Memory Cores
This paper addresses the issue of testing and diagnosing a memory core embedded in a complex SOC. The proposed solution is based on a P1500-compliant wrapper that follows a programmable BIST approach and is able to support both testing and diagnosis. Experimental results are provided allowing to evaluate the benefits and limitations of the adopted solution and to compare it with previously prop...
متن کاملEmbedded Memory Bist for Systems-on-a-chip Embedded Memory Bist for Systems-on-a-chip
Embedded memories consume an increasing portion of the die area in deep submicron systems-on-a-chip (SOCs). Manufacturing test of embedded memories is an essential step in the SOC production that screens out the defective chips and accelerates the transition from the yield learning phase to the volume production phase of a new manufacturing technology. Built-in self-test (BIST) is establishing ...
متن کاملBuilt-In Self-Test and Diagnosis of Multiple Embedded Cores in SoCs
An efficient approach is presented for Built-In Self-Test (BIST) and diagnosis of embedded cores in System-on-Chip (SoC) devices using an embedded Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) core. The approach targets multiple regular structure cores including memories, multipliers, etc., but can be used to test any set of multiple identical cores in a SoC that also contains an embedded FPGA core with...
متن کاملDesign and Implementation of Microcode based Built-in Self-Test for Fault Detection in Memory and its Repair
Memories are the most dominating blocks present on a chip. All types of chips contain embedded memories such as a ROM, SRAM, DRAM, and flash memory. Testing of these memories is a very tedious and challenging job as area over head, testing time and cost of the test play an important role. Embedded memories are occupying a significant portion of the System-on-chip area. Because of this trend and...
