Abstract
A memory system with integrated memory built-in self-test (BIST) circuitry has one or more pipeline registers interposed between combinational logic elements. These combinational logic elements can include write data decoding logic, memory control signal decoding logic, address counter logic, address comparison logic, data comparison logic, and next state decoding logic. Features can be included that compensate for the delay inherent in the pipeline registers.
