Abstract

A test method for a delay circuit and a test circuitry are provided. The test circuitry incudes the delay circuit that essentially includes multiple serially connected logic gates, a clock pulse generator at an input end of the delay circuit for generating one or more cycles of clock signals, and a counter at an output end of the delay circuit for counting the clock signals passing through the delay circuit. The test circuitry implements a test mode by switching lines to the clock pulse generator and the counter. The test circuitry relies on a comparison result of a counting result made by the counter and a number of the cycles of the clock signals to test any failure of the delay circuit.
