World Headquarters: GÖPEL electronic GmbH Göschwitzer Straße 58/60 D Jena / GERMANY Tel: Fax: sales@goepel.com URL: USA Headquarters: GOEPEL Electronics LLC 9737 Great Hills Trail, 170 Austin, TX / USA Tel: Fax: sales@goepelusa.com URL: Founded: 1991 Employees: ~ 170 JTAG/Boundary Scan, Automotive Test Solutions, Functional Test, AOI/AXI, Digital Image Processing 2

3 Outline JTAG / boundary-scan applications Ways to test mixed-signal PCBA with JTAG / bscan Example: 3-D stacked, mixed-signal dies 3

4 Benefits of JTAG / boundary scan Test for manufacturing defects at board and system level Access to on-chip test / debug / emulation resources In-system programming Efficient ATPG tools, pin level diagnostics Deterministic (predictive) test coverage Standardized: IEEE , , , , 1500, 1532, P , P1687, P1838,... 4

5 What is Boundary Scan? A little bit of history (and outlook)... 5

6 Basics of IEEE IEEE specifies... Test resources to be implemented in devices Boundary Scan Description Language (BSDL) Digital Core Logic /TRST TDI TCK TMS ID Reg IR BP TAP Controller TDO 6

7 JTAG / boundary scan applications 7

8 Outline Board level JTAG / boundary-scan applications Ways to test mixed-signal PCBA with JTAG / bscan Example: 3-D stacked, mixed-signal dies 8

9 Ways to test mixed-signal PCBA w/ bscan Combine bscan (digital) w/ functional test (analog) Combine bscan (digital) w/ ICT / FPT (analog) Utilize mixed-signal I/O modules, controlled by the boundary scan test system IEEE enabled devices ADC/DAC with IEEE access Loop-back on UUT (DAC to ADC loop-backs) PCBA = Printed circuit board assembly ICT = In-circuit tester FPT = Flying probe tester ADC = Analog/Digital converter DAC = Digital/Analog converter UUT = Unit under test bscan - boundary scan IEEE / boundary scan = simple, embedded, standardized access to internal device structures 9

10 Boundary scan and ICT / FPT Probes can be used to provide access with digital test resources and with analog test resources 10

11 Mixed-signal test principle with IEEE Analog to Digital Converter: Provide analog stimulus with tester channel or measure circuit nodes Read digital output with BScan 11

18 PCBA vs. SOC / SIP / MCM / 3D Stacked Die Multi-die IC level test access problem similar to PCBA Similar test strategy, just at different scale 18

19 Outline JTAG / boundary-scan applications Ways to test mixed-signal PCBA with JTAG / bscan Example: 3-D stacked, mixed-signal dies 19

20 Observations Test bus access: pins to bottom die, from there through stacked interconnects; need special DFT with layout requirements (where to place TSVs for inter-die test bus signal interconnects) IEEE focuses on die to die (chip to chip) interconnects IEEE 1500 for core level boundary scan IEEE P1687 will offer standardized access to embedded instruments, incl. IEEE 1500, BIST, BERT, etc. IEEE offers attractive test bus signal network between cores and dies IEEE P1838 to standardize 3D stacked die test 20

21 3D stacked dies This and the following slides are just examples of boundary scan configurations - others are possible. This is a conceptual drawing and does not represent an actual implementation! Die-to-Die interconnects Number of pins, boundary scan cells, analog or digital logic, and size of chips, TSVs, and solder balls are not in scale (e.g. test logic is very small compared to functional logic, and the number of pins and boundary scan cells is much higher than illustrated here). Power Analog I/O 21

22 3D stacked dies Please note that this is a conceptual drawing and does not represent an actual implementation! Die-to-Die interconnects Number of pins, boundary scan cells, analog or digital logic, and size of chips, TSVs, and solder balls are not in scale (e.g. test logic is very small compared to functional logic, and the number of pins and boundary scan cells is much higher than illustrated here). 22

23 3D stacked dies Please note that this is a conceptual drawing and does not represent an actual implementation (e.g. TBIC circuitry is missing)! Die-to-Die interconnects Number of pins, boundary scan cells, analog or digital logic, and size of chips, TSVs, and solder balls are not in scale (e.g. test logic is very small compared to functional logic, and the number of pins, boundary scan cells and ABMʼs is typically much higher than illustrated here). 23

24 3D stacked dies Mixed-signal die Please note that this is a conceptual drawing and does not represent an actual implementation (e.g. TBIC circuitry is missing)! Die-to-Die interconnects Number of pins, boundary scan cells, analog or digital logic, and size of chips, TSVs, and solder balls are not in scale (e.g. test logic is very small compared to functional logic, and the number of pins, boundary scan cells and ABMʼs is typically much higher than illustrated here). 24

25 Summary IEEE has been created for digital test, but what about analog / mixed-signal circuitry? Along came IEEE , specifying mixed-signal boundary scan resources, but are there any insertion tools for features? Mixed-signal tests based on IEEE are possible using A/D converters and mixed signal tester resources IEEE P1687 will offer new possibilities IEEE 1581 may help for non-boundary scan chips / dies (e.g. stacked memory dies without wrapper boundary register) 25
