This paper describes the design and implementation of onchip test functions on the 68040 microprocessor. The discussion includes an introduction to the 68040 along with the testability goals and objectives that were set in the beginning of the design. Further discussions detail the different design for testability (DFT) techniques used to control and observe the behavior of the 68040 subsystems. Topics covered include the global test architecture, special test modes for the intemal RAM arrays, the scan circuitry used for structural testing of random logic, and the IEEE 1149.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
