Power-on state machine implementation with a counter to control the scan for products with hard-BISR memories

摘要

An apparatus comprising a controller circuit and a BISR assembly circuit. The controller circuit may be configured to present one or more control signals. The control signals may be configured to control one or more built-in self-test (BIST) and built-in self-repair (BISR) modes of operation. The BISR assembly circuit generally comprises one or more memory blocks each comprising a counter configured to generate a clock cycle count value in response to a repair solution during the BIST and BISR operations. The memory blocks may be remapped in response to the count values during one or more of the BISR operations.
