    摘要: A memory device includes an output data path that transfers data from an I/O circuit coupled to a memory array to an output tri-state buffer. A comparing circuit compares data from the I/O circuit to a desired data pattern. If the data does not match the desired pattern, the comparing circuit outputs an error signal that is input to the output buffer. When the output buffer receives the error signal, the output buffer is disabled and outputs a tri-state condition on a data bus. Since the error signal corresponds to more than one data bit, the tri-state condition of the output buffer is held for more than one tick of the data clock, rather than only a single tick. Consequently, the tri-state condition remains on the bus for sufficiently long that a test system can detect the tri-state condition even at very high clock frequencies.

    摘要: In a high speed memory subsystem differences in each memory device's minimum device read latency and differences in signal propagation time between the memory device and the memory controller can result in widely varying system read latencies. The present invention equalizes the system read latencies of every memory device in a high speed memory system by comparing the differences in system read latencies of each device and then operating each memory device with a device system read latency which causes every device to exhibit the same system read latency.

    摘要: A cache memory system and method includes a DRAM having a plurality of banks, and it also includes 2 SRAMs each having a capacity that is equal to the capacity of each bank of the DRAM. In operation, data read from a bank of the DRAM are stored in one of the SRAMs so that repeated hits to that bank are cached by reading from the SRAM. In the event of a write to a bank that is being refreshed, the write data are stored in one of the SRAMs. After the refresh of the bank has been completed, the data stored in the SRAM are transferred to the DRAM bank. A subsequent read or write to a second DRAM bank undergoing refresh and occurring during the transfer of data from an SRAM to the DRAM is stored in either the second bank or the other SRAM.

    摘要: A method and apparatus is provided for selecting a memory device or a group of memory devices in a memory system using dedicated bank select signals in combination with encoded chip selection signals. A memory controller transmits bank select signals over bank select signal lines and encoded chip select signals on the command and address bus which are used to select an individual memory device or group of memory devices in a bank for an operation.
