Abstract: A BIST engine configured to store a per pattern based fail status during memory BIST run and related processes thereof are provided. The method includes testing a plurality of patterns in at least one memory device and determining which of the plurality of patterns has detected a fail during execution of each pattern. The method further includes storing a per pattern based fail status of each of the detected failed patterns.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an a circuit including: first logic to compare output data from the shift register with output data from error correcting code circuitry (ECC), to output an error signal in response to a data bit output from the shift register being different from a data bit output from the ECC; second logic for receiving the error signal from the first logic gate, and a correctability signal from the ECC, to output an overwrite signal in response to receiving the error signal and the correctability signal; and a selector receiving the overwrite signal and the data bit of the output data from the ECC, and coupled between a data source and an input line to the shift register. The selector causes the shift register to receive the ECC output in response to receiving the overwrite signal.

Abstract: Approaches for a memory built-in self-test (MBIST) are provided. The MBIST circuit includes a fail status register which receives a new fail signal value in response to a detection of a unique fail in a pattern, and a pattern mask register which stores at an end of the pattern a different value of the new fail signal value representative of the unique fail.

Abstract: A system and method control an operation of a built-in self-test (BIST) of memory devices of an integrated circuit. The method includes generating count values using a program counter, and providing a first burst of instructions to the memory devices. The method also includes controlling a chip enable signal associated with each of the memory devices according to the count values during a wait period following the providing the first burst of instructions until a second burst of instructions is provided to the memory devices. The chip enable signal of each of the memory devices defines clock cycles at which the memory device is operated and clock cycles at which the memory device is idle.
