Abstract
A method and system is provided for detecting and correcting non-deterministic data that provides substantially real-time validation results and maximizes flexibility for the device manufacturer while reducing test costs. The automatic test apparatus and method can correct non-determinism caused by cycle slipping at the beginning of data transmission, between packets of data being transmitted and out-of-order data types of non-determinism. A data validation circuit is coupled to the receiver for validating the packet data based on expected packet data stored in a vector memory.
