    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a test circuit for testing a synchronous memory circuit 3 which is operated with a high clock frequency and which is capable of adjusting test latency.
    SOLUTION: This test circuit has a frequency multiplying circuit 4 generating a high frequency clock signal for the synchronous memory chip 3 by multiplying a specific multiplication factor to the frequency of a low frequency clock from the external test unit 2, a test data generator 16 which generates test data based on a data control signal from the external test unit 2 and writes the data in the synchronous memory circuit 3, a first signal delay circuit 19 for delaying the test data by an adjustable first delay time, a second signal delay circuit 24 for delaying data from the circuit 3 to a test circuit 1 by an adjustable second delay time and a data comparing circuit 27 which compares the test data generated by the generator 16 with data from the circuit 3 and outputs a signal indicating whether the circuit 3 can operate or not to the unit 2.

    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: 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.

    Abstract: Test circuit for testing a synchronous circuit (3) which is clocked with an operating clock signal with a high operating clock frequency, having: (a) a frequency multiplication circuit (8), which receives a clock signal from an external test unit (2) and multiplies the low clock frequency of said clock signal by a specific factor for the purpose of generating the operating clock signal; (b) a data comparison circuit (49), which is clocked with the operating clock signal, receives a data block read from the synchronous circuit (3) to be tested, which data block has a specific number (n) of data words n each comprising m data bits, and compares it with associated desired data words, each comprising m desired data, for the purpose of generating a corresponding number (n) of error data words each comprising m error data; (c) a data register array (56), which has a plurality of data registers for buffer-storing the error data words generated; (d) a first error compression circuit (58), which logically ORs the error data words buffer-stored in the data register array (56) to form a compressed error data word comprising m error bit [sic], which is buffer-stored in an error register; (e) and having a second error compression circuit (60), which logically ORs the m error data contained in the compressed error data word to form an indication datum, the indication datum being output to the external test unit (2) with the low clock frequency, and indicating whether at least one data error has occurred in the data block read from the synchronous circuit (3) to be tested.
