Abstract
Failure and repair information collected during self-testing of arrays in an integrated circuit is stored in a centralized array in the integrated circuit. In that way, a centralized array can be read out to provide failure and repair information on the arrays in the integrated circuit rather than having to read from each array. In addition, the failure and repair information may also be stored in the array under test for certain of the arrays.
