Abstract:
A built-in self-test (BIST) methodology and apparatus provide for testing and calibration of an integrated circuit oscillator circuit topology that uses a one-pin (a single-pin) external resonator. The method employs dedicated test circuitry, also referred to herein as BIST apparatus, for the pass/fail verification of both the active and passive building blocks of the oscillator. At the same time, the methodology ensures accurate calibration and matching of the capacitors using dedicated digital circuitry and algorithms.

Claim (Index 2):
The apparatus of  claim 1 , where the reconfigurable test matrix is a reconfigurable direct current (DC) text matrix and the test element is a DC test element and where the DC bias voltages of the oscillator core are evaluated by the DC test element in accordance with the reconfigurable DC text matrix.
