摘要
A system for testing digital circuit units at the design speed of the circuit. A first memory stores a minimized set of optimum generated predetermined test patterns for application to a unit under test. A second memory stores expected signature patterns corresponding to signature patterns that are derived from the unit under test in response to the predetermined test patterns when the unit under test is functioning properly. A signature analyzer derives signature patterns from a unit under test in response to the application of the test patterns to the unit. A comparator compares the derived signature patterns with the expected signature patterns and provides an indication of the results of the comparison. A clock provides a clock signal having a pulse rate that corresponds to the design speed of the unit under test; and a sequential counter responds to said clock signal by providing a sequential count to the first memory for addressing the first memory at storage positions therein having addresses corresponding to the sequential count to cause the predetermined test patterns to be read from the first memory and applied to the unit at a speed that corresponds to the design speed of the unit under test. The testing system further includes a backtracing system for enabling determination of the location of faults in the unit under test.
