Abstract

See full text

This invention describes a method and apparatus, contained within an integrated circuit, for isolating failure by precisely controlling the number of clocks applied during built-in self-test (BIST). A programmable clock counter, on the integrated circuit, stores a specified number of clock cycles and sends a signal to stop a BIST engine once the specified number of clock cycles have been generated. The intermediate results can then be mapped bit by bit in order to isolate the cause of failure.
