Abstract
A method for testing a circuit includes performing, by a test engine, a test of bit write to a memory. The test includes defining a bit group based on a set of bits from an address of a memory location. The test further includes generating a bit mask for the bit group. The test further includes performing a bit write operation to the address to store a sequence of bits, the sequence of bits selected using a predetermined bit pattern. The test further includes reading content of the address. The test also includes comparing, using the bit mask, only bits corresponding to the bit group from the sequence of bits and from the content of the address.
