Zusammenfassung: | Aspects include a system having logic built-in self-test (LBIST) circuitry for use in an integrated circuit with scan chains. The system includes a pattern generator configured for generating scan-in test values for said scan chains; a signature register configured for collecting scan-out responses from said scan chains after a clock sequence; an on-product control generator configured for controlling at least one test parameter; one or more microcode array or memory elements configured to receive inputs to initialize fields in the microcode array or memory elements; and a test controller. The test controller includes a reader component configured for reading test parameters from a field of the microcode array or the memory elements; and a programming component configured for configuring the on-product control generator and the pattern generator with a LBIST pattern according to the read test parameters. |
