发明名称 Built-in self test for a counter system
摘要 A self test for a counter system in an integrated circuit includes a clock coupled to counters in a plurality of counters. A first counter in the plurality of counters has a first counter output and a first counter rollover. A second counter in the plurality of counters has a second counter output, a second counter rollover less than the first counter rollover, and a second counter rollover signal that is active when the second counter has rolled over. A comparison circuit having inputs coupled to the first and second counter outputs, compares the first and second counter outputs to produce a counter error output signal. A latch latches the counter error output signal in response to the second counter rollover signal being inactive and the counter error output signal indicating a difference in the first and second counter outputs. Counters may be segmented to reduce a number of digits.
