Abstract: The method and the device generate digital signal patterns. Signal patterns or signal pattern groups are stored in a very small buffer register. The position of a following signal pattern or following signal pattern group is also stored in the form of a branch address, together with each signal pattern or each signal pattern group. A simple control logic circuit receives a control signal and determines whether the content of the currently addressed group is output continuously or the following group given by the branch address stored in the register is output after the currently selected group has been completely output. The novel method and device can advantageously be used for testing semiconductor memories and implemented in a cost-effective semiconductor circuit which is remote from a conventional test system.

Abstract: The system enables testing fast synchronous semiconductor circuits, particularly semiconductor memory chips. Various test signals such as test data, data strobe signals, control/address signals are combined to form signal groups and controllable transmit driver and receiver elements allocated to them are in each case jointly activated or, respectively, driven by timing reference signals generated by programmable DLL delay circuits. A clock signal generated in a clock generator in the BOST semiconductor circuit is picked up at a tap in the immediate vicinity of the semiconductor circuit chip to be tested and fed back to a DLL circuit in the BOST chip where it is used for eliminating delay effects in the lines leading to the DUT and back to the BOST.

Abstract: A built outside self-test (BOST) module (10) is connected between standard test device and device under test (DUT). The BOST module multiplies frequencies of test and control signals generated by the test apparatus and provides the signals to the semiconductor to be tested. The BOST module adjusts to the time conditions of the semiconductor to be tested from which it receives result signals. An Independent claim is also included for semiconductor test circuit.

Abstract: The test system has build outside self test (BOST) module (10) that has a switching unit (11) for switching between the normal operation mode and BOST register programming operation mode based on the output of a switching criteria detector (11a). The switching criteria detector determines the switching criteria for the changeover switching. During normal operation mode, the BOST module controls a device under test (DUT) (20). During BOST register programming operation mode, the registered content of a register unit (12) are programmed. The BOST module is inserted into the signal path between a test device and the DUT. The register unit, algorithmic and logic unit (13), non-register driven logic unit (14) and DUT interface (15) in the BOST module receive the signal conditions (D1-D4) preset by the test device to generate test signals (D10) which are transmitted to the DUT. After receiving response signals from the DUT, the register unit is programmed to file constants and variables for generating test signals and evaluating the DUT. An Independent claim is also included for the use of the test system.

Abstract: An internal clock signal of a logic/memory component that receives signals is transmitted as a reference clock to a transmitting logic/memory component. With the aid of the reference clock, the transmission clock of the output unit of the transmitting logic/memory component is generated, such that transmitted signals arrive in a receiving unit of the receiving component synchronously with the internal clock signal of that component.

Abstract: An address generator is provided for generating addresses for testing an addressable circuit. The address generator can include a base address register for buffer-storing a base address. The base address register can be assigned an associated offset register group having a plurality of offset registers for buffer-storing relative address values. Further, the address generator can include a first multiplexer circuit which is dependent on a base register selection control signal, switches through an address buffer-stored in the base address register to a first input of an addition circuit and to an address bus, which is connected to the circuit to be tested. A second multiplexer circuit can be dependent on the base register selection control signal, through-connects the offset register group associated with the through-connected base address register to a third multiplexer circuit, which is dependent on an offset register selection control signal.
