We present an original transparent-based programmable memory BIST solution suitable for offline as well as online memory testing. Thanks to an appropriate combination of the test algorithm with the data backgrounds and by providing unlimited background flexibility, the proposed solution allows covering almost all existing fault models while increases the probability to also detect un-modeled faults.
