  • Testing ram address decoder for resistive open defects
    Patent number: 7392465
    Abstract: Hard-open defects between logic gates of, for example, an address decoder and the voltage supply which result in logical and sequential delay behavior render a memory conditionally inoperative. A method and apparatus for testing integrated circuits for these types of faults is proposed, in which two cells of two logically adjacent rows or columns are written with complementary logic data. If a read operation reveals the data in the two cells to be identical, the presence and location of a hard-open defect is demonstrated.
