Multiport memories are widely used as embedded cores in all communication system-on-chip devices. Due to their high complexity and very low accessibility, built-in self-test (BIST) is the most common solution implemented to test the different memories embedded in the system. This article presents a programmable BIST architecture based on a single microprogrammable BIST processor and a set of memory wrappers designed to simplify the test of a system containing a large number of distributed multiport memories of different sizes (number of bits, number of words), access protocols (asynchronous, synchronous), and timing. |
