摘要: In described examples of circuitry and methods for testing multiple memories, a controller generates a sequence of commands to be applied to one or more of the memories, where each given command includes expected data, and a command address. Local adapters are individually coupled with the controller and with an associated memory. Each local adapter translates the command to a memory type of the associated memory, maps the command address to a local address of the associated memory, and provides test results to the controller according to read data from the local address of the associated memory and the expected data of the command.

摘要: A device to test functional memory interface logic of a core under test is described herein. The device includes and utilizes a built in self test controller to generate test sequences, and a clock-gating circuit to selectively supply the test sequences to a memory input or memory output on the core under test. After an initial data initialization of the core under test at built in self test mode, an at-speed functional mode is utilized to capture a desired memory output.

摘要: One example includes an integrated circuit (IC). The IC includes non-volatile memory and logic. The logic is configured to receive repair code associated with a memory instance and assign a compression parameter to the repair code based on a configuration of the memory instance. The logic is also configured to compress the repair code based on the compression parameter to produce compressed repair code and to provide compressed repair data that includes the compressed repair code and compression control data that identifies the compression parameter. A non-volatile memory controller is coupled between the non-volatile memory and the logic. The non-volatile memory controller is configured to transfer the compressed repair data to and/or from the non-volatile memory.

摘要: Systems and methods of screening memory cells by modulating bitline and/or wordline voltage. In a read operation, the wordline may be overdriven or underdriven as compared to a nominal operating voltage on the wordline. In a write operation, the one or both of the bitline and wordline may be overdriven or underdriven as compared to a nominal operating voltage of each. A built-in self test (BIST) system for screening a memory array has bitline and wordline margin controls to modulate bitline and wordline voltage, respectively, in the memory array.

摘要: A memory repair system in an integrated circuit (IC) that optimizes the fuseROM used for memory repair. The IC includes a plurality of memory wrappers. Each memory wrapper includes a memory block with a fuse register and a bypass register. The bypass register has a bypass data that indicates a defective memory wrapper of the plurality of memory wrappers. A fuseROM controller is coupled to the plurality of memory wrappers. A memory bypass chain links the bypass registers in the plurality of memory wrappers with the fuseROM controller. The fuseROM controller loads the bypass data in the memory bypass chain. A memory data chain links the fuse registers in the plurality of memory wrappers with the fuseROM controller. The memory data chain is re-configured to link the fuse registers in a set of defective memory wrappers of the plurality of memory wrappers responsive to the bypass data loaded in the memory bypass chain.
