Abstract
Integration at the chip level is supported by an architecture for self-testing and self-configuration of an integrated circuit. Self-testing requires the generation of test signals based on primary root polynomials, application of the test signals to functionally redundant modules, and evaluation of the response of the modules to the test signals. The response produced by a module is compared against the response predicted from error-free operation of the module. Modules whose responses correspond to the expected responses are interconnected for circuit operation. All of the architecture for self-testing and self-configuration is integrated with the tested and configured modules.
