摘要: Analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) of an integrated circuit includes a first set of ADCs and second set of ADCs in which the ADCs of the first set are of a different type than the ADCs of the second set. On-chip testing of the ADCs includes calibrating an N-bit differential digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and storing a pair of calibration codes for each of 2N possible DAC input codes for the DAC in an on-chip memory. The first set of ADCs is tested using the pairs of calibration codes stored in the on-chip memory and a full N-bit resolution of the DAC. Subsequently, the second set of ADCs is tested using pairs of calibration codes corresponding to a reduced M-bit resolution of the DAC, in which M is less than N. During the testing of the second set of ADCs, a portion of the calibration codes stored in the on-chip memory is overwritten.

摘要: Embodiments presented herein are directed to testing and/or debugging a memory device of a memory module (e.g., a dual in-line memory module (DIMM)) without having to remove the DIMM from a corresponding computing device and without having to interrupt operation of the computing device. A particular memory device (e.g., DRAM) may be identified for testing and/or debugging based on a failure message. However, the failure message may not identify a specific location or hardware of the module that caused the failure. Embodiments presented herein provide techniques to obtain data for analysis to determine and/or deliver a cause of the failure while reducing or eliminating downtime of the computing device. Test modes to do so may include a synchronous test mode, an asynchronous test mode, and an analog compare mode. A test mode may be selected based on the failure or a signal/function of the DRAM to be tested or debugged.

摘要: Methods and apparatus for configurable ECC (error correction code) mode in DRAM. Selected memory cells in the bank arrays of a DRAM device (e.g., die) are used to store ECC bits. A DRAM device (e.g., die) is configured to operate in a first mode in which an on-die ECC engine employs selected bits in the arrays of memory cells in the DRAM banks as ECC bits to perform ECC operations and to operate in a second mode under which the ECC bits are not employed for ECC operations by the ECC engine and made available for external use by a host. In the second mode, the repurposed ECC bits may comprise RAS bits used for RAS (Reliability, Serviceability, and Availability) operations and/or metabits comprising metadata used for other operations by the host.
