Abstract
Logic and methods for diagnostic testing of memory and, more particularly, auto shift of failing memory diagnostics data using pattern detection are disclosed. The method includes detecting fails in the memory during a built in self test (BIST) pattern. The method further includes passing the fail information to a tester through a diagnostic pin. The method further includes pausing shift operations when it is determined that the shifting of the fail information is complete for the detected fail.
