<p>This invention relates to a pattern generator (l00-l, ..., l00-N) permitting to output patterns with a high speed and having an operating function, which is suitable e.g. for generating test patterns for memory ICs. Although it was known heretofore to increase the operating speed by operating a plurality of pattern generators, for which patterns were generated from memories, in which patterns were previously stored, in parallel, it was not possible to operate pattern generators having an operating function in parallel. This invention is characterized in a method, by which the order of execution of operation processing instructions ( @@ - @@) is assigned to each of the pattern generators and operation processing instructions are accumulated. According to this invention an effect can be obtained that patterns are generated with a high speed by means of a pattern generator having an operating function.</p> |
