  • Patent number: 7702979
    Abstract: An object of the invention is to drastically reduce the area overhead in a semiconductor integrated circuit incorporating a test configuration that uses a partially rotational scan circuit. To achieve this, in the semiconductor integrated circuit incorporating the test configuration that comprises a combinational circuit (3) and a scan chain (2) constructed by connecting a plurality of scan flip-flops (5) in a chain, the scan chain (2) is divided into a plurality of sub scan-chains (20a to 20n) each of which has a partially rotational scan (PRS) function and a test response compaction (MISR) function. By performing a scan test in a plurality of steps while changing the combination of the sub scan-chains to be set as PRS and the sub scan-chains to be set as MISR, the test can be performed without having to provide a test response compactor separately from the scan chain, and thus the area overhead can be reduced.

  • Publication number: 20070255872
    Abstract: A technology for allowing easy handling of a change in the address range of the subject of access or any of bus masters is provided. There is provided an address monitor unit including a table which is shared among a plurality of bus masters and stores therein access right information that has been preset in correspondence to the subject of access and to address information corresponding thereto and capable of determining, by referencing the table, the presence or absence of an access right for each of the bus masters based on the subject-of-access information of each of the bus masters and on address information outputted from the bus master. Since the table is shared among the plurality of bus masters, when the address range of the subject of access or any of the bus masters is changed, the table may be rewritten appropriately. This allows, when a plurality of bus masters are connected to a common bus, easy handling of a change in the address range of the subject of access or any of the bus masters.

  • Patent number: 7149113
    Abstract: To reduce cost of defect redundancy and trimming in a semiconductor integrated circuit having multiple layer wirings and copper wirings, an address for salvaging a defect of a memory cell array in a semiconductor is stored by using a nonvolatile memory element constituting a floating electrode by a first layer of polysilicon, or the nonvolatile memory element is programmed in testing the semiconductor integrated circuit. As a result, a special process is not needed in forming the nonvolatile memory element. In other words, the nonvolatile memory element can be formed in a process of forming a CMOS device and an apparatus of a laser beam for programming is not needed since the programming is carried out in testing. Thus, the time necessary for programming can be shortened, and, therefore, testing costs can be reduced.
