    摘要: A backwards-compatible memory module is disclosed. According to one aspect, a memory module comprises addressable memory cells organized in organization units having a predetermined number of memory cells, a read/write control device clocked by a first clock signal, a plurality of prefetch registers for initially storing data read from the memory cells wherein the register size corresponds to the predetermined number. In a first operating mode, a switching device clocked by a second clock signal successively couples the prefetch registers to data input/output terminals. The number of data input/output terminals corresponds to the predetermined number. In a second operating mode, the switching device is controlled by at least one address signal and couples at least one of the prefetch registers to the data input/output terminals.

    摘要: An insertable calibration device for a programmable tester apparatus comprises at least one calibration unit and a control unit. The progammable tester apparatus is configured to test at least one electronic device with electronic circuits. The progammable tester apparatus comprises a holding device, contact-making devices for the electronic device, and tester channels for coupling in signals to the electronic device. The calibration unit is connected to a first tester channel to be calibrated. The calibration unit is configured to detect a calibration signal edge of a calibration signal that is transmitted by the tester apparatus at a certain transmission instant, to detect a reference signal edge of a reference signal that is transmitted by the tester apparatus via a second tester channel at a reference instant, to compare the instants at which the two signal edges arrive, and to output a comparison result. The control unit evaluates the comparison results and can be used to program the transmission instants in such a way that the instants at which the calibration signal edge and the reference signal edge arrive, for the compensation of signal propagation time differences, are substantially identical. The calibration device has the same form and connections as the electric device and is insertable into the holding device with an accurate fit instead of the electronic device.
