    摘要: A memory system comprises a memory that includes at least one of Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM) and Double Data Rate SDRAM (DDR). A memory controller communicates with the memory, generates an SDRAM clock signal, and receives a bi-directional sampling clock signal (DQS). When the memory includes the DDR, the memory generates the DQS. When the memory includes the SDRAM, the DQS is based on the SDRAM clock signal.

    摘要: A system and circuit for reading and writing data to a buffer memory, which is Synchronous Dynamic Random access Memory (“SDRAM”), or Double Data Rate-Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (“DDR”) is provided. The circuit includes logic for managing programmable clock signal relationships such that data arrives at an optimum time for writing. Data that is to be written at DDR is moved from a first buffer clock to a DDR write clock signal and to a DQS signal that is based on a SDRAM clock signal. Also, plural tap-cells may be used to delay clock signals such that data and clock signals are aligned. An emulated DQS signal in a DDR capture scheme is used for reading from a SDRAM.

    摘要: A system and method for dynamically writing to and reading from an internal register space of a chip using a TAP controller without interfering with the normal operation of the chip is provided. Data that is to be written is loaded into a data register in the TAP controller before being written in the internal register space and the write instructions are loaded into an instruction register of the TAP controller. The address of the internal register space from where data is to be read is also loaded to the data register. Data is read and/or written from the internal register space after the TAP controller gets access to the internal register space via arbitration.

    摘要: A storage controller including a first controller. The first controller includes a memory module, a test access port controller, the test access port controller configured to control a built in self-test operation on the memory module, and a register configured to store a first instruction. In response to the storage controller detecting a test access port interface being accessible to the storage controller, the test access port controller is configured to control the built in self-test operation on the memory module of the first controller by having either (i) a second instruction sent from the test access port controller to the first controller or (ii) the first instruction sent from the register to the first controller. The first controller is configured to perform the built in self-test operation on the memory module in response to having received the first instruction or having received the second instruction.
