METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CALIBRATING INTERNAL PULSES IN AN INTEGRATED CIRCUIT

摘要

A method and circuit for measuring internal pulses includes an enable circuit configured to receive a control signal from an on-chip built-in tester to enable measurement of internal circuits. A delay chain is configured to receive a pulse signal from an on-chip circuit component. Sampling latches each include a data input coupled between adjacent delay elements of the delay chain and synchronized with the clock signal such that a transition in the pulse signal is indicated by comparing adjacent digital values in an output sequence.
