    摘要: A semiconductor memory circuit enabling replacement of defective memory elements and associated circuitry with non-defective spare elements of the RAM and associated circuitry, is scanned to enable replacement of a defective RAM element prior to repair of the RAM. A set of set/reset latches are coupled to receive the signal from the memory elements, and a multiplexer control circuit coupled to receive a shift signal and a ram_inhibit signal from a multiplexer to provide specific input signals to the multiplexer components. When a scan operation begins an active clock signal sets a set/reset latch to ram_inhibit mode and this blocks the memory elements from influencing the state of memory output latches, whereby when an memory operation begins, an active clocking signal will reset the set/reset latch into system mode to cause the multiplexers pass appropriate signals from the memory elements to the output latches, and the spare memory element is activated to replace a defective memory element.

    摘要: Dynamic graduated memory device protection in redundant array of independent memory (RAIM) systems that include a plurality of memory devices is provided. A first severity level of a first failing memory device in the plurality of memory devices is determined. The first failing memory device is associated with an identifier used to communicate a location of the first failing memory device to an error correction code (ECC). A second severity level of a second failing memory device in the plurality of memory devices is determined. It is determined that the second severity level is higher than the first severity level. The identifier from the first failing memory device is removed based on determining that the second severity level is higher than the first severity level. The identifier is applied to the second failing memory device based on determining that the second severity level is higher than the first severity level.

    摘要: Error correction and detection in a redundant memory system that includes a memory controller; a plurality of memory channels in communication with the memory controller, the memory channels including a plurality of memory devices; a cyclical redundancy code (CRC) mechanism for detecting that one of the memory channels has failed, and for marking the memory channel as a failing memory channel; and an error correction code (ECC) mechanism. The ECC is configured for ignoring the marked memory channel and for detecting and correcting additional memory device failures on memory devices located on one or more of the other memory channels, thereby allowing the memory system to continue to run unimpaired in the presence of the memory channel failure.
