ABSTRACT:
A memory test engine performs memory tests on an embedded memory located in a device under test (DUT) simultaneous to analog tests performed by an automatic tester. The automatic tester provides coded information to the memory test engine, which includes a description of the embedded memory within the DUT. The memory test engine operates autonomous to the automatic tester; apply addresses, data and control and comparing results of the memory test to expected values. The automatic tester and the memory test engine use the same DUT data bus; and therefore, arbitrate the use of the bus of the DUT.
