ABSTRACT:
A method for testing memory arrays embedded within electronic assemblies having other combinatorial logic elements connected to the inputs thereof. By following stated design rules, the embedded memory can be isolated from the combinatorial logic element and tested by use of a memory test subsystem either before or after the combinatorial logic elements are tested by a logic test subsystem. Both logic and memory tests are performed by a process that requires but a single handling of the electronic assemblies.
