What are conficuration registers?

[ankit12345]

What are the types of dut registers?
How to verify them?
What types of test cases are possible on config registers?

Any paper on this topic?
(I know RAL)

Configuration registers are used to config the chip, such as working status of the chip. They are generally D-flip-flops with reset to a know state. The verification of the register has two part, verify reset/read/write config registers correctly or not. Second whether the config register doing the right thing or not.

what are DUT registers?

is it Design under TEST?

 

[zencool]

DUT registers are registers of your DUT ie your design under test....

 

[Daniel M.E. Lee]

I think you should more explain your situation.

 

[dechen]

Configuration register is to put your chip into the certain mode. Also you can set the clock mode etc

 

[shobhitk]

Basically inside the chip we define some registers to do a particular task i.e. clock control . data control ,
any thing which is related with controling the chip

Configuration Register are those Registers which is inside your chip and each register is having a default value and fixed address . you can change that default value to desired value by writing to that perticular address. it will effect the funtinality of chip.
for checking the the configuration test ..... write maximum value , minimum value and mid value
if there are few registers then change bit by bit (from high to low ) value in ure test.

Configuration registers are generally used to communicate with the IC in multiprocessor environment.

For example
Consider a DAC IC. To configure the DAC for a particular audio sapling rate like 32ksps or 24 ksps or 48ksps,there will be some registers in the DAC IC that are to be written .These registers are called Configuration registers.

please specify how configuration register will be used for clock control?
what i understand is is some count value can be configured and can be used for clock division or so.
what are other scenarios.

 

[nrkumarjan]

Consider for example A PLL IC.
To configure PLL for a particular frequency,some setting has to be done in the configurations registers.This could be one situation where configure registers are used.
