    摘要: A method, an apparatus, and a computer program are provided to reuse functional data buffers. With Extreme Data Rate (XDR™) Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM), test patterns are employed to dynamically calibrate data with the clock. To perform this task, data buffers are employed to store data and commands for the calibration patterns. However, there are different procedures and requirements for transmission and reception calibrations. Hence, to reduce the amount of hardware needed to perform transmission and reception calibrations, the data buffers employ additional front end circuitry to reuse the buffers for both tasks.

    摘要: A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product are provided for the handling of write mask operations in an XDR™ DRAM memory system. This invention eliminates the need for a two-port array because the mask generation is done as the data is received. Less logic is needed for the mask calculation because only 144 of the 256 possible byte values are decoded. The mask value is generated and stored in a mask array. Independently, the write data is stored in a write buffer. The mask value is utilized to generate a write mask command. Once the write mask command is issued, the write data and the mask value are transmitted to a multiplexer. The multiplexer masks the write data using the mask value, so that the masked data can be stored in the XDR DRAMS.

    摘要: A method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided for implementing packet ordering in a network processor. Packets are received and placed on a receive queue and a queue entry is provided for each received packet. The queue entry includes for each autoroute packet, an autoroute indication and a selected transmit queue. An associated ordering queue is provided with the receive queue. A software-handled packet is dequeued from the receive queue and the dequeued software-handled packet is placed on the ordering queue. Each autoroute packet reaching a head of the receive queue is automatically moved to the selected ordering queue.

    摘要: Managing write-to-read turnarounds in an early read after write memory system is presented. Memory controller logic identifies a write operation's bank set, allows a different bank set read operation to issue prior to the write operation's completion, and allows a same bank set read operation to issue once the write operation completes. The memory controller includes operation counter logic, operation selection logic, operation acceptance logic, command formatting logic, and memory interface logic. The operation counter logic receives new-operation-related signals from the operation acceptance logic and, in turn, provides signals to the operation selection logic and the operation acceptance logic as to when to issue a read operation that corresponds to either an even DRAM bank or an odd DRAM bank.

    摘要: Separate handling of read and write operations of Read-Modify-Write Commands in an XDR™ memory system is provided. This invention allows the system to issue other commands between the reads and writes of a RMW. This insures that the dataflow time from read to write is not a penalty. A RMW buffer is used to store the read data and a write buffer is used to store the write data. A MUX is used to merge the read data and the write data, and transmit the merged data to the target DRAM via the XIO. The RMW buffer can also be used for scrubbing commands.

    摘要: A mapping area including a packet work area and a corresponding set of packet segment registers are provided. A packet segment register is loaded with a Packet ID (PID) and a packet translation unit maps packet data into the corresponding packet work area. Packets include one or more data buffers. Data buffers are chained together using a corresponding buffer descriptor for each data buffer. Each buffer descriptor points to the corresponding data buffer and to a next buffer descriptor. Each buffer descriptor includes an offset for a next packet data. A translate address is compared to the offset of each buffer descriptor to identify the data buffer containing the translate address. A buffer sharing counter (BSC) is allocated for a shared data buffer. Each buffer descriptor pointing to the shared data includes a pointer to the buffer sharing counter (BSC).

    摘要: Embodiments are provided in which a method for delaying a strobe signal for a first pre-specified amount of time is described. A test signal is sent through a first number of delay books and a test is done as to whether it takes the test signal approximately a second pre-specified amount of time to pass the first number of delay books. Then, the number of delay books is increased or decreased by one at a time and until the number of delay books reaches a second number where it takes the test signal approximately the second pre-specified amount of time to pass the second number of delay books. From the second number, a third number of delay books is determined which is needed to cause a propagation delay approximately equal to the first pre-specified amount of time. Finally, the strobe signal is passed through the third number of delay books.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for handling variable data word widths and array depths in an array built-in self-test system for testing a plurality of memory arrays using a single controller. Each array includes a predetermined row and column address depth and data word width. Each array further includes a scan register. A universal test data word is generated and sent to the scan register of each array. The universal length test data word has a length dependent upon the maximum row address depth, maximum column address depth and/or the maximum data word width. A portion of the test data word which exceeds the column address depth, row address depth and/or the data word width of a particular array is shifted off the end of the scan register of the particular array.
