摘要: A system for outputting test data from cores to one communication interface. The system includes shared memories corresponding to the cores. Each shared memory includes a ring buffer and an array of slots. Each core generates a diagnostic message, and stores the generated diagnostic message in a select memory region of the ring buffer corresponding to a first empty slot of the array of slots. A selected core finds a first diagnostic message among diagnostic messages stored in the shared memories, and outputs the first diagnostic message to a personal computer through the communication interface.

摘要: Methods, systems, and devices for direct testing of in-package memory are described. A memory subsystem package may include non-volatile memory, volatile memory that may be configured as a cache, and a controller. The memory subsystem may support direct access to the non-volatile memory for testing the non-volatile memory in the package using a host interface of the memory subsystem rather than using dedicated contacts on the package. To ensure deterministic behavior during testing operations, the memory subsystem may, when operating with a test mode enabled, forward commands received from a host device (such as automated test equipment) to a memory interface of the non-volatile memory and bypass the cache-related circuitry. The memory subsystem may include a separate conductive path that bypasses the cache for forwarding commands and addresses to the memory interface during testing.

摘要: A method includes receiving tester configuration data, test pattern data, and tester operation data; configuring a circuit for performing a designated test evaluation; generating a stimulus waveform; converting the stimulus waveform to an analog stimulus signal; transferring the analog stimulus signal to a first terminal of a MTJ DUT at reception of a trigger timing signal; generating time traces based on the trigger timing signal; generating a response signal at a second terminal of the MTJ DUT and across a termination resistor as the analog stimulus signal is transferred through the MTJ DUT; converting the response signal to a digitized response signal indicating its voltage amplitude; and performing the designated test evaluation and analysis function in the configurable circuit based on voltage amplitudes and time values of the stimulus waveform, the digitized response signal, and the timing traces.

摘要: Memory devices, systems including memory devices, and methods of operating memory devices are described, in which memory device are configured to add variable delays to a command. The variable delays may be provided by a host device (e.g., a test equipment) using a test mode of the memory devices. Alternatively, the variable delays may be stored in nonvolatile memory (NVM) components of the memory devices. Further, mode registers of the memory devices may be set to indicate that the command is associated with the variable delays stored in the NVM components. Further, the memory devices may include delay components configured to add the variable delays to the command. Such variable delays facilitate staggered execution of the command across multiple memory devices so as to avoid (or mitigate) issues related to an instantaneous, large amount of current drawn from a power supply connected to the memory devices.
