    摘要: A buffered memory module including a downstream buffer, a downstream receiver, an upstream driver, an upstream receiver. The downstream buffer and the downstream receiver are both adapted for connection to a downstream memory bus in a packetized cascaded interconnect memory subsystem. The upstream driver and the upstream receiver are both adapted for connection to an upstream memory bus in the memory subsystem. During a test of the memory module, the upstream driver is connected to the downstream receiver and the downstream driver is connected to the upstream receiver. The memory module also includes one or more storage registers, a microprocessor and a service interface port. The microprocessor includes instructions for executing the test of the memory module including storing results of the test in the storage registers. The service interface port receives service interface signals that initiate the execution of the test and accesses the storage registers to determine the results of the test.

    摘要: A buffer device for testing a memory subsystem. The buffer device includes a parallel bus port adapted for connection to a slow speed bus and a serial bus port adapted for connection to a high speed bus. The high speed bus operates at a faster speed than the slow speed bus. The buffer device also includes a bus converter having a standard operating mode for converting serial packetized input data received via the serial bus port into parallel bus output data for output via the parallel bus port. The buffer device also includes an alternate operating mode for converting parallel bus input data received via the parallel bus port into serial packetized output data for output via the serial bus port. The serial packetized input data is consistent in function and timing to the serial packetized output data.

    摘要: A communication interface device, system, method, and design structure for bit shadowing in a memory system are provided. The communication interface device includes shadow selection logic to select a driver bit position as a shadowed driver value, and line drivers to transmit data for the selected driver bit position and the shadowed driver value on separate link segments of a bus. The communication interface device also includes shadow compare logic to compare a selected received value with a shadowed received value from the bus and identify a miscompare in response to a mismatch of the compare, and shadow counters to count a rate of the miscompare relative to a bus error rate over a period of time. A defective link segment is identified in response to the rate of the miscompare within a predefined threshold of the bus error rate.

    摘要: A computer program product and a hub device for deriving clocks in a memory system are provided. The computer program product includes a storage medium readable by a processing circuit and storing instructions for execution by the processing circuit for facilitating a method. The method includes receiving a reference oscillator clock at the hub device. The hub device is in communication with a controller channel via a controller interface and in communication with a memory device via a memory interface. A base clock operating at a base clock frequency is derived from the reference oscillator clock. A memory interface clock is derived by multiplying the base clock by a memory multiplier. A controller interface clock is derived by multiplying the base clock by a controller multiplier. The memory interface clock is applied to the memory interface and the controller interface clock is applied to the controller interface.

    摘要: An electronic system having a power efficient differential signal between a first and second electronic unit. A controller uses information, such as compliance with data transmission rate requirement and bit error rate (BER) versus a BER threshold to control power modes such that a minimal amount of power is required. Amplitude of transmission and single ended or differential transmission of data are examples of the power modes. The controller also factors in a failing phase in a differential signal in selecting a minimal power mode that satisfies the transmission rate requirement of the BER threshold.
