Description

Storage apparatus reading method, system and storage apparatus test apparatus
Technical field
The present invention relates to integrated circuit (IC) design and measuring technology, be specifically related to a kind of storage apparatus reading method and system, and a kind of storage apparatus test apparatus.
Background technology
At present, in the integrated circuit application, Nonvolatile memory devices has obtained application more and more widely owing to the information that still can preserve wherein in various embedded solutions after down circuitry.Nonvolatile memory devices be divided into usually can be repeatedly erasable the flash-type memory storage, and only can carry out once non-volatile memory erasable but that can repeatedly read.Wherein, non-volatile memory generally comprises electric Ke Bian Cheng Rong silk (EFUSE) and One Time Programmable memory storage (OTP) etc., owing to have above-mentioned once erasable, the characteristics that repeatedly read, can improve that embedded system is soft, the integrated level of hardware, thereby the system failure that the maloperation owing to default software or system that can avoid may occurring on the memory storage of other type brings, thereby can improve the intensity of embedded system, in embedded solution, be widely used as solidifying storage unit.
As mentioned above, can carry out two kinds of basic operations of read and write (hereinafter the write operation to non-volatile memory being called the burning operation) to non-volatile memory to meet the common custom in this area.Owing to be merely able to carry out burning operation, therefore whether need memory storage after the checking burning operation whether can normally read and read information identical with the information that burning is entered, thereby at integrated circuit testing with in using, operation to non-volatile memory is divided into burning usually and reads two kinds, wherein read and further comprise twice: carry out (hereinafter referred to as reading before the encapsulation) before reading in encapsulation for the first time, be used to guarantee that the information (hereafter is a burning information) that information (hereafter reads information) that read storage device obtains and burning enter is identical, confirm that promptly burning operates successfully; Read for the second time then carrying out (hereinafter referred to as reading after the encapsulation) after the encapsulation, do not damage memory storage when being used to guarantee to encapsulate.
Fig. 1 shows the synoptic diagram of a kind of typical 16 non-volatile memories and function pin thereof, and wherein each functions of pins is as shown in table 1 below:
The port title The I/O type Functional description
A[2:0] Input port The row address input port
B[3:0] Input port The column address input port
Dout[15:0] Output port Data-out port
ENB Input port Memory storage enable port (low level is effective)
READ Input port Memory storage reads enable port (high level is effective)
PROGRAM Input port Burning enable port (high level is effective)
FSOURCE Input port Burning level input port
VDD Power port The memory storage power port
GND Power port Grounding ports
Table 1
When memory storage being carried out the burning operation, shown in Fig. 2 (a), burning control device 201 is loaded into the burning control signal on the control pin of memory storage 202; Memory storage as shown in table 1, the burning control signal during burning is shown in Fig. 2 (b), as seen from the figure:
When ENB, READ signal when low:
During t1~t1 ', PROGRAM is positioned at the high level period, in the address location that FSOURCE signal writing line address signal A and column address signal B is specified (it is high that the FSOURCE among the figure is always, but as the burning signal, the content of burning is freely selected as required);
During t2~t2 ', PROGRAM is positioned at the high level period, in the address location that FSOURCE signal writing line address signal A and column address signal B is specified.
So continue according to this sequential organization, until full detail is burnt in the memory storage.
After burning is finished, read before memory storage encapsulated, shown in Fig. 3 (a), read control device 301 will read on the control pin that control signal is loaded into memory storage 302; The clock signal that reads before the described encapsulation is shown in Fig. 3 (b), as seen from the figure:
When the ENB signal is low, when the READ signal is high:
Memory read goes out information and the output in the address location of row address signal A and column address signal B appointment; According to this sequential organization, the full detail in reading memory storage.
Identical to encapsulating the required clock signal of the preceding read operation of the back memory storage operation of reading and encapsulation, repeat no more herein.
Owing to also need memory storage is read after the encapsulation, described memory storage is not damaged when guaranteeing to encapsulate, and all control pin package of memory storage need be come out when therefore encapsulating.For chip design manufacturer, the packaging cost of chip is closely related with the number of pins that encapsulates, and for the chip of realizing identical function, the number of pins that encapsulates is few more, packaging cost is just low more, thereby the overall manufacturing cost of this chip is just low more; In like manner, for the pin package mode of similar number, the utilization factor of each pin is high more, and then packaging cost is just low more, thereby the overall manufacturing cost of this chip is just low more.
Yet as seen by foregoing description, after being encapsulated, reads by described memory storage, must all encapsulate by the pin with memory storage in when encapsulation, therefore existing read method is relatively poor to different packaged type adaptive facultys, and packaging cost and chip cost are higher.
