This paper describes the unique hardware features designed in a traditional hardware Algorithmic Pattern Generator (APG) to make full functional Direct Access Testing (DAT) of embedded memories with different data widths easier in a high volume production environment. The APG support software enables the encapsulation of pattern design for various sizes of embedded memories or arrays to significantly reduce the pattern complexity and generation effort.
