High Speed Access & Test IP PCIE Version

Overview

High speed access for test and in-chip sensor & monitor data throughout the silicon lifecycle. Within the SiliconMAX Platform, High-Speed Access & Test (HSAT) IP plays a critical role enabling high-speed interfaces such as PCIe, typically already present in SoCs, to be re-used for high-bandwidth production test. Further, this opens up the possibility to reuse the same high speed test packets and to repeat manufacturing tests in-system or in-field, providing visibility of functional or performance degradation during the device’s lifetime. Manufacturing tests can be repeated in-system and/or in-field.

Key Features

  • PCIe functional protocol-based high-speed I/O for ATE, in-system & in-field
  • Other interfaces (e.g. SPI) for in-system/in-field available
  • Configurable Arm® AMBA® AXI slave interface to HSIO
  • Configurable scan chains (512 max) and TAP supported
  • Full RTL configuration and integration flow or Synopsys TestMAX Manager
  • Arm AMBA AXI testbench generation
  • Bypass mode allows scan chains to connect to HS Access & Test IP or GPIO pins
  • Multiple levels of loop back for link validation

Benefits

  • Easily repeat manufacturing tests in-system and in-field
  • Reduce test time by eliminating the constraint of GPIO test pin data rate
  • Re-use functional HSIO ports (PCIe and USB) for test and other data
  • Avoid the need for large numbers of GPIO test pins
  • High speed access to PVT & functional monitors and other sensor data
  • Bandwidth scales with each new generation of PCIe

Applications

  • High speed access to DFT & Silicon monitoring network through entire Silicon Lifecycle
