摘要:A method is provided for testing an integrated circuit comprising multiplecores, with at least two cores having different associated first and second clock signals of
different frequencies. A test signal is provided using a clocked scan chain clocked at atest frequency (TCK). A transition is provided in a clock circuit reset signal (clockdiv_rst)which triggers the operation of a clock divider circuit () which derives the first and secondclock signals (clk_xx, clk_yy, clk_zz) from an internal clock () of the integrated circuit. Thefirst and second clock signals thus start at substantially the same time, and these areused during a test mode to perform a test of the integrated circuit. After test, the testresult is output using the clocked scan chain clocked at the test frequency (TCK).Clocking hardware is also provided, and these provide at-speed testing which enables onthe fly switching between a relatively slow tester driven clock for the shift modes andfaster clocks generated by on-chip PLLs and divider circuits for the test mode.
