| 20090217113 | UTILIZING SERIALIZER-DESERIALIZER TRANSMIT AND RECEIVE PADS FOR PARALLEL SCAN TEST DATA - A Serializer/De-serializer (SerDes) of an integrated circuit (IC) includes selectable inputs and outputs not only for functional data and boundary scan (e.g., JTAG) test data, but also for parallel-scan test data. The serializing portion of the SerDes includes multiplexing logic responsive to control signals to select or identify one of the multiplexing logic inputs for functional data, boundary scan data and parallel-scan data. The de-serializing portion similarly includes selection logic responsive to such control signals to select or identify one of the selection logic outputs for functional data, boundary scan data and parallel-scan data. The multiplexing logic and selection logic couple the selected input or output, respectively, to the SerDes input/output pads. | 08-27-2009 |
| 20090235218 | TESTING PHASE ERROR OF MULTIPLE ON-DIE CLOCKS - The phase relationship between two clock signals in an integrated circuit (IC) is determined by transforming each of the clock signals into a data word, where bit transitions in the data word represent signal transitions in the clock signal, and comparing the two data words. For example, in an IC having a de-serializer as part of its input/output logic, the clocks are sequentially multiplexed into the de-serializer, which transforms the clocks into parallel-format data words. The resulting words corresponding to the first and second clock signals can then be compared to determine clock signal transition differences and thus the phase relationship between the corresponding clocks signals. | 09-17-2009 |
