Built-in Self-test - Specializations

Specializations

There are several specialized versions of BIST which are differentiated according to what they do or how they are implemented:

• Programmable built-in self-test (pBIST)
• Memory built-in self-test (mBIST) - e.g. with the Marinescu algorithm
• Logic built-in self-test
• Analog and mixed-signal built-in self-test (AMBIST)
• Continuous built-in self-test (CBIST)
• Periodic built-in self-test
• Interrupt-driven built-in self-test (IBIST) or user-initiated built-in self-test
• Power-up built-in self-test (PupBIST)
• Automatic built-in self-test (ABIST)
