ATC18RHA
In a similar vein, access to microcontroller, DSP, and SRAM blocks must be provided so that
controllability and observability of the inputs and outputs to the blocks are achieved with the min-
imum amount of preconditioning. SRAM blocks need to provide access to both address and data
ports so that comprehensive memory tests can be performed. Multiplexing I/O pins provides a
method for providing this accessibility.
The glue logic can be designed using full SCAN techniques to enhance its testability.
It should be noted that, in almost all of these cases, the purpose of the testability technique is to
provide Atmel a means to assess the structural integrity of the chip, i.e., sort devices with manu-
facturing-induced defects. All of the techniques described above should be considered
supplemental to a set of patterns which exercise the functionality of the design in its anticipated
operating modes.
The ATC18RHA Series are offered in ceramic packages: multi layers quad flat packs (MQFP)
with up to 352 pins and a BGA based on ceramic land grid arrays, so called multi layer column
grid array (MCGA) with up to 625 pins.
