Abstract: Based on the analysis of the various widely used March-Algorithm, a configurable March-Algorithm generator is proposed to realize all March-Algorithm by setting several control registers. Furthermore, a FSM (Finite State Machine), several control registers, and some new instructions, which are only used to test embedded memories, are added to the programmable core. A resource sharing architecture is also proposed in this paper. It is shown in this paper that the design is easily programmable with a few external controls. Also when combined with the existing functional units in the programmable core, the hardware overhead is quite small.

摘要： 存储器在SOC中所占的电路面积越来越大，因此存储器的正确与否影响着SOC芯片的成品率。存储器中的故障种类繁多，单一的测试方法不能保证所有故障的100%覆盖率。本文通过对广泛应用的March算法进行了分析，提出了一种可重配置的存储器测试方法。在该方法中通过设置一组控制寄存器就可以灵活的实现各种March算法。另外，采用资源复用的方法，在嵌入式微处理器核中增加了一个有限状态机，几个控制寄存器和几条专门用于存储器测试的指令，可以方便的实现各种March算法，并且硬件开销非常小。
