Abstract
An integrated circuit chip that supports stored-pattern (SP) logic built-in self-testing (LBIST) includes a device under test (DUT) and a test controller. System-level SP LBIST testing is performed using an external, system ATE (automated test equipment) that transmits test input data to the test controller for application to the DUT, which generates test output data that is transmitted from the test controller to the system ATE, which performs golden signature comparisons on the test output data. During system-level DUT testing, all communications between the system ATE and the chip are via a single interface, such as a conventional, serial JTAG port.
