The design and architectures of a microcode-based memory BIST and programmable FSM-based memory BIST unit are presented. The proposed microcode-based memory BIST unit is more e ci...
Today’s ASIC designs consist of more memory in terms of both area and number of instances. The shrinking of geometries has an even greater effect upon memories due to their tigh...

In this paper, we propose a new transparent built-in self-test ( TBIST ) method to test multiple embedded memory arrays with various sizes in parallel. First, a new transparent tes...
