ABSTRACT:
A cellular array processor chip includes a common bus communicating with the individual cells thereof. The common bus can be monitored during chip testing to detect the presence, or absence, of a defective cell. Each cell can be inactivated with respect to the common bus. During testing if the presence of a defective cell is determined to exist each cell is individually tested until a defective cell is located. That cell is inactivated and the chip testing is resumed until all defective cells are located and inactivated.
