    摘要: A memory built-in self test (MBIST) apparatus and method for testing dynamic random access memory (DRAM) arrays, the DRAM arrays in communication with a memory interface device that includes interface logic and mainline chip logic. The MBIST apparatus includes a finite state machine including a command generator and logic for incrementing data and addresses under test and a command scheduler in communication with the finite state machine. The command scheduler includes resource allocation logic for spacing commands to memory dynamically utilizing DRAM timing parameters. The MBIST apparatus also includes a test memory storing subtests of an MBIST test. Each of the subtests provides a full pass through a configured address range. The MBIST apparatus further includes a subtest pointer in communication with the test memory and the finite state machine. The finite state machine implements subtest sequencing of each of the subtests via the subtest pointer.

    摘要: Circuitry for delaying a signal includes a phase-locked loop comprising one or more output nodes for outputting one or more output signals in response to a reference signal. A buffer is coupled to the output nodes of the phase-locked loop for receiving phase-locked loop output signals and outputs one or more buffered output signals. A multiplexing element receives the buffered output signals and a control signal and generates an operative buffered output signal in response to the control signal. A delay line receives a delay control input signal and the operative buffered output signal from the multiplexing element. The delay line outputs a delayed output signal in response to the delay control input signal.

    摘要: A system, method and storage medium for deriving clocks in a memory system. The method includes receiving a reference oscillator clock at a hub device. The hub device is in communication with a controller channel via a controller interface and in communication with a memory device via a memory interface. A base clock operating at a base clock frequency is derived from the reference oscillator clock. A memory interface clock is derived by multiplying the base clock by a memory multiplier. A controller interface clock is derived by multiplying the base clock by a controller multiplier. The memory interface clock is applied to the memory interface and the controller interface clock is applied to the controller interface.

    摘要: A buffered memory module including a downstream buffer, a downstream receiver, an upstream driver, an upstream receiver. The downstream buffer and the downstream receiver are both adapted for connection to a downstream memory bus in a packetized cascaded interconnect memory subsystem. The upstream driver and the upstream receiver are both adapted for connection to an upstream memory bus in the memory subsystem. During a test of the memory module, the upstream driver is connected to the downstream receiver and the downstream driver is connected to the upstream receiver. The memory module also includes one or more storage registers, a microprocessor and a service interface port. The microprocessor includes instructions for executing the test of the memory module including storing results of the test in the storage registers. The service interface port receives service interface signals that initiate the execution of the test and accesses the storage registers to determine the results of the test.

    摘要: A synchronous input to output protocol translator supporting multiple reference oscillator frequencies and fixed latency data computation and chip crossing circuits enables implementation of a method for delaying osc2 relative to osc1 in a configurable way to provide a constant, minimal Tptcc over a range of refosc frequencies between circuits for data transferred. It requires that the data transferred from a register R1 be sent over multiple wires via configurable delay circuitry for osc2, capture circuitry at the input to R2, and a circuit to transfer a synchronizing signal from a non-delayed clock domain to a delayed clock domain. Relative to osc1, osc2 is a delayed, synchronous clock.

    摘要: A buffer device for testing a memory subsystem. The buffer device includes a parallel bus port adapted for connection to a slow speed bus and a serial bus port adapted for connection to a high speed bus. The high speed bus operates at a faster speed than the slow speed bus. The buffer device also includes a bus converter having a standard operating mode for converting serial packetized input data received via the serial bus port into parallel bus output data for output via the parallel bus port. The buffer device also includes an alternate operating mode for converting parallel bus input data received via the parallel bus port into serial packetized output data for output via the serial bus port. The serial packetized input data is consistent in function and timing to the serial packetized output data.
