    摘要: A memory device includes a memory, a secure-access circuit, a plain-access circuit, and protection hardware. The memory includes at least a secure-storage partition assigned a first address range and a plain-storage partition assigned a second address range, disjoint from the first address range. The secure-access circuit is configured to access the secure-storage partition by generating addresses in the first address range. The plain-access circuit is configured to access the plain-storage partition by generating addresses in the second address range. The protection hardware is configured to prevent the plain-access circuit from accessing the first address range assigned to the secure-storage partition.

    摘要: An apparatus for generating Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) testing patterns to test an electronic device-under-test (DUT) that includes electrical circuitry, at least one input port and at least one output port. The apparatus includes a memory and a processor. The memory is configured to store (i) a high-level verification language (HVL) model of the IC, including a model input that models the at least one DUT input port and a model output that models the at least one DUT output port, the HVL model configured to determine, obliviously to the electrical circuitry, a logic state of the model output responsively to a logic state of the model input, and (ii) a simulation program, configured to simulate the HVL model of the DUT. The processor is configured to generate an ATE testing pattern for the DUT by running the simulation program.

    摘要: A method of enhancing error correction in a data storage system, including receiving a data storage system having one or more rows each row having: a set of data bits including a word of data, a first set of error correction bits and a second set of error correction bits or a flag bit or both; each bit can be in a first state or a second state; wherein initially all the bits are in the first state; writing data in a word in the data storage system by changing bits from the first state to the second state; creating an error correction code for the word in the first set of error correction bits; receiving a request to update the word by changing one or more additional bits of the word from the first state to the second state; calculating a new error correction code for the updated word; optionally determining if the new error correction code only requires changing bits of the first set of error correction bits from the first state to the second state, if the determination result is positive then updating the first set of error correction bits; otherwise using the second set of error correction bits and/or the flag bit to reduce the need to rewrite the word because of the error correction code.

    摘要: A continuous read operation may be achieved by using a data buffer having a partitioned data register and a partitioned cache register, user configurable internal ECC associated with the cache register, and fast bad block management. During a data read operation, the ECC status may be indicated by ECC status bits. The status (1:1), for example, may indicate for the Continuous Read Mode that the entire data output contains more than 4 bits errors/page in multiple pages. However, one may wish to know the ECC status of each page or of each page partition. For the former, the ECC status for the entire page may be determined and made in the status register at the end of the output of the page. For the latter, the ECC status of each page partition may be determined and output before output of the corresponding page partition.
