Abstract
A function array system includes a controller, a test function and specific memories to accelerate the execution of a VLSI device test program by preloading register files associate with each hardware function in the tester with test set-up information. Test information is transferred to the register files only once when the test program is initially downloaded into the tester. A simple controller sequences a test set-up pointer during test execution.
