Abstract

See full text

There is disclosed a central controller for simultaneously testing the embedded arrays in a processor. Test data vectors are serially shifted into a latch and stored into each location in the embedded arrays of the processor. The test data are then read out of the embedded arrays into a read latch and serially shifted into a multiple input shift register, where a polynomial division is performed on the test vector data. If all memory locations in the embedded array function properly, a remainder value will result that is equal to a unique signature remainder for the test vectors used.
