Description

Boundary test circuit, memory and boundary test method
Technical Field

In this context, boundary scan testing has evolved. Boundary scan testing is accomplished by attaching a boundary scan cell (Boundary Scan Cell, abbreviated BSC) to each I/O pin of the chip, and some additional test control logic, the BSC consisting essentially of registers.

In the conventional boundary test circuit, in a test mode, test data is transmitted according to the sequence of each clock cycle, and then data of each boundary scan cell is output to an integrated circuit to be tested through an I/O pin. Different test vectors need to be input to all boundary scan cells at each time and then output to an integrated circuit to be tested, and the problems of low test efficiency and poor flexibility are generally existed.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a boundary test circuit is first provided for testing an integrated circuit. The integrated circuit to be tested can be an independent chip to be tested after packaging, or can be a part of circuit units which are not packaged into chips. When the integrated circuit to be tested is an independent chip to be tested, the boundary test circuit can be connected with the I/O pin of the chip and perform data transmission. When the integrated circuit to be tested is a circuit unit which is not packaged yet, the boundary test circuit can be connected with a data channel of the circuit unit or a node for transmitting data and can transmit data. The present disclosure is not particularly limited in this regard.
Referring to fig. 1, the boundary test Circuit provided in the present exemplary embodiment may mainly include a plurality of boundary register circuits 110 and a plurality of state control circuits 120, wherein the boundary register circuits 110 (Wrapper Boundary Register, abbreviated as WBR) are mainly composed of registers, and the state control circuits 120 (Toggle circuits, abbreviated as TC) are used to implement state control of test signals.
In the present exemplary embodiment, each of the boundary register circuits 110 and the state control circuit 120 are sequentially arranged at intervals and serially connected in series step by step to form one complete test circuit. The number of the border register circuits 110 is the same as the number of the state control circuits 120, and each border register circuit 110 and each state control circuit 120 form a one-to-one connection relationship. In other exemplary embodiments, each of the boundary register circuits 110 and each of the state control circuits 120 may be connected in any other manner, and the number of boundary register circuits 110 and the number of state control circuits 120 may not be identical. The connection relationship and the number relationship between the boundary register circuit 110 and the state control circuit 120 may be arbitrarily set according to the characteristics of the integrated circuit to be tested and the actual test requirements, which are not particularly limited in the present exemplary embodiment.
One end of the boundary register circuit 110 is a Test signal Input end Test Input, and the other end of the boundary register circuit 110 is a Test signal Output end Test Output. The Test signal Input terminal Test Input is used for receiving an initial Test signal, and the Test signal Output terminal Test Output is used for transmitting the received initial Test signal to the next-stage boundary register circuit 110. The Test signal input terminal TestInput of the first-stage boundary register circuit 110 at the initial end of the boundary Test circuit may be connected to a Test instrument that emits an initial Test signal, and the Test signal Output terminal testoutput of the last-stage boundary register circuit 110 at the final end of the boundary Test circuit may be connected to an external Test instrument that emits an initial Test signal, thereby forming a completed Test loop. When the previous stage boundary register circuit 110 transmits the initial test signal to the next stage boundary register circuit 110, signal transmission may be directly completed through a data channel between the previous stage boundary register circuit 110 and the next stage boundary register circuit, or signal transmission may be indirectly completed after transferring through a state control circuit between the previous stage boundary register circuit and the next stage boundary register circuit, which is not particularly limited in this exemplary embodiment.
The input terminal of the state control circuit 120 receives the initial test signal stored in the corresponding boundary register circuit 110, the control terminal of the state control circuit 120 receives a state control signal Toggle, and the output terminal of the state control circuit 120 sends real-time test signals to the integrated circuit to be tested, i.e. Q0, Q1, Q2, Q3, etc. as shown in fig. 1. The real-time test signal may be the same as the initial test signal in phase or may be the opposite of the initial test signal in phase. The real-time test signal can be phase switched under the control of the received state control signal, so that two states with the same phase or opposite phases with the initial test signal are obtained. In addition, the implementation test signal sent by the state control circuit 120 may be phase switched under the control of a clock signal or any other trigger signal, which is not particularly limited in the present exemplary embodiment.
In the boundary test circuit provided in this exemplary embodiment, by adding the state control circuit on the basis of the boundary register circuits, the state switching control can be performed on the real-time test signal output by each boundary register circuit, and the forward or reverse signals can be output to the integrated circuit to be tested according to different clock cycles under the triggering of the related control signals, so that the test efficiency and the test flexibility of the boundary test circuit are improved.
The constituent elements and test principles of the boundary register circuit 110 and the state control circuit 120 are described below with reference to fig. 2 and 3.
Referring to fig. 2, in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the state control circuit 120 may mainly include: a not gate element 210 and a first data selector 220.
Wherein the input of the not-gate element 210 is used for receiving the initial test signal stored in the boundary register circuit 110.
The first data selector 220 includes two inputs, a control terminal and an output terminal, wherein the input terminal of one of the input terminal and the input terminal of the nand gate element 210 is connected to the same node, and is also used for receiving the initial test signal stored in the boundary register circuit 110. The other input is connected to the output of the nand gate element 210 for receiving the output signal of the nor gate element 210. The control terminal is configured to receive a state control signal Toggle, where the state control signal Toggle may control a strobe state of the first data selector 220. The output end is used for sending a real-time test signal which is gated and output based on the control of the state control signal Toggle received by the control end. When the state control signal Toggle is a first signal (e.g., a high signal), the first data selector 220 gates the input terminal located below, and the real-time test signal output by the output terminal is opposite to the initial test signal. When the state control signal Toggle is the second signal (e.g., a low signal), the first data selector 220 gates the input terminal located above, and the real-time test signal output by the output terminal is the same in phase as the initial test signal.
It should be noted that the component composition of the state control circuit 120 provided in the present exemplary embodiment is merely exemplary, and any other alternative circuit may be adopted under the condition of achieving the same effect.
With continued reference to FIG. 2, the boundary register circuit 110 may include, in principle: a third data selector 230, a second register 240, and a fourth data selector 250.
One input terminal of the third data selector 230 is used for receiving an initial test signal, which may be directly sent by an external test instrument (in the case that the current border register circuit 110 is a first-stage border register circuit located at the initial end of the border test circuit), may be directly sent to the first-stage border register circuit by a previous-stage border register circuit through a data transmission channel, or may be indirectly sent to the first-stage border register circuit through a state control circuit located in the middle of the first-stage border register circuit and the second-stage border register circuit. The control terminal of the third data selector 230 is configured to receive a Hold signal Hold, which is used to control the boundary register circuit 110 to enter or exit a Hold mode, i.e. to control the third data selector 230 to gate the input signals transmitted on the different input terminals.
An input terminal of the second register 240 is connected to an output terminal of the third data selector 230, and receives a signal output after the strobe control of the third data selector 230. The output of the second register 240 is used to output an initial test signal stored thereon, which may be output to the state control circuit 120 as shown in fig. 2, and may be directly transmitted to a next-stage boundary register circuit using a data transmission channel. In addition, the second register 240 may receive a clock signal CLK to externally transmit the initial test signal under the control of the clock signal CLK.
An input terminal of the fourth data selector 250 is for receiving a normal input signal normaliput. The other input terminal of the fourth data selector 250 is connected to the output terminal of the second register 240, and is configured to receive the signal output from the second register 240. The control terminal of the fourth data selector 250 is configured to receive a Scan signal Scan, which controls the boundary register circuit 110 to enter or exit a Scan mode, i.e. controls the fourth data selector 250 to gate the input signals transmitted on different input terminals. The Output terminal of the fourth data selector 250 sends a Normal Output signal Normal Output, and the Output terminal of the fourth data selector 250 is further connected to the other input terminal of the third data selector 230, so that the Normal Output signal Normal Output is transmitted to the third data selector 230 for gating.
It should be noted that the component composition of the boundary register circuit 110 provided in the present exemplary embodiment is merely exemplary, and any other alternative circuit may be adopted under the condition of achieving the same effect.
Referring to fig. 3, in another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the state control circuit 120 may mainly include: a first register 310, an or gate element 320, an exclusive or gate element 330, and a second data selector 340.
The input terminal of the first register 310 is used for receiving the initial test signal stored in the boundary register circuit 110. In addition, the first register 310 may receive a clock signal CLK to externally transmit the initial test signal under the control of the clock signal CLK. In the present exemplary embodiment, the state control circuit 120 shares the same clock signal CLK with the boundary register circuit 110, as shown by a broken line portion connected between the clock signal CLK and the state control circuit 120 in fig. 1. In other embodiments, different clock signals may be set for the state control circuit 120 and the boundary register circuit 110, which is not particularly limited in this disclosure.
An input of the or-gate element 320 is connected to an output of the first register 310 for receiving the initial test signal stored in the first register 310. The other input terminal of the or gate element 320 is for receiving the state control signal Toggle.
An input of the exclusive or gate element 330 is coupled to an output of the first register 310 for receiving the initial test signal stored in the first register 310. The other input of the exclusive-or gate element 330 is for receiving the state control signal Toggle.
An input of the second data selector 340 is connected to an output of the or-gate element 320 for receiving the signal output by the or-gate element 320. The other input terminal of the second data selector 340 is connected to the output terminal of the exclusive-or gate element 330, and is configured to receive the signal output by the exclusive-or gate element 330. The control terminal of the second data selector 340 receives a state control signal Toggle, which may control the strobe state of the second data selector 340. The output terminal of the second data selector 340 is configured to transmit a real-time test signal, which is gated and output based on the control of the state control signal Toggle received by the control terminal. When the state control signal Toggle is the first signal (e.g., a high signal), the second data selector 340 gates the input terminal located below, and the real-time test signal output by the output terminal is opposite to the initial test signal. When the state control signal Toggle is the second signal (e.g., a low level signal), the second data selector 340 gates the input terminal located above, and the real-time test signal output by the output terminal is in the same phase as the initial test signal.
In the present exemplary embodiment, the component components of the boundary register circuit 110 have been described in detail in the previous embodiment, and will not be described here again.
It should be noted that the component composition of the state control circuit 120 provided in the present exemplary embodiment is merely exemplary, and any other alternative circuit may be adopted under the condition of achieving the same effect.
In another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a memory is provided. The memory includes an integrated circuit and additionally includes a boundary test circuit as in any of the above exemplary embodiments for testing the integrated circuit packaged within the memory. The relevant components and test principles of the boundary test circuit are described in detail in the above exemplary embodiments, and are not repeated here.
In another exemplary implementation of the present disclosure, a boundary testing method based on the boundary testing circuit or memory in the above embodiments is provided for testing an integrated circuit.
Referring to fig. 4, the method may mainly include the steps of:
step S410, the boundary register circuit receives the initial test signal and transmits the initial test signal to the next boundary register circuit.
In this step, the boundary test circuit is set in the Scan mode by using the Scan signal Scan, and the input initial test signal is transmitted to each boundary register circuit WBR step by using the cooperative control of a plurality of signals. The boundary test circuit is then set to Hold mode using Hold signal Hold.
S420, the state control circuit receives an initial test signal stored in the boundary register circuit and sends a real-time test signal to the integrated circuit to be tested according to the state control signal; wherein the real-time test signal is a signal having the same phase or opposite phase to the initial test signal.
In this step, the state control circuit may send a real-time test signal to the integrated circuit to be tested, where the real-time test signal is a signal having the same phase or opposite phase to the initial test signal, by controlling the state control signal Toggle. In other words, the state control circuit may send either a forward signal or a reverse signal to the integrated circuit under test according to different clock cycles. For example, when the state control signal Toggle is a first signal (e.g., a high-level signal), a signal having the same phase as the initial test signal is sent to the integrated circuit to be tested; when the state control signal Toggle is a second signal (for example, a low-level signal), a signal with the opposite phase to the initial test signal is sent to the integrated circuit to be tested.
In the boundary test method provided in this exemplary embodiment, under the control of the state control signal, the state control circuit can perform state switching control on the real-time test signal output by each boundary register circuit, and under the trigger of the related control signal, the forward or reverse signal can be output to the integrated circuit to be tested according to different clock cycles, so that the test efficiency and the test flexibility of the boundary test circuit are improved.
