Tutorial: Characterizing SDRAMS
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents characterization methods for an SDRAM in a manufacturing environment. Contact tests, dc tests, basic functional tests, signal margin tests and retention characterization are shown. Measurement of the cell signal is used as an example for pico probing. Special test modes for SDRAMs which can be used to aid characterization and failure analysis (FA) are discussed.

متن کاملA Universal Test Pattern Generator for DDR SDRAM
Because the memory cores can be used to save the instructions/data, the memory cores are frequently used within the system-on-a-chips (SOCs). The quality of the SOCs is mainly determined by the memory cores. However, due to the complicated fabrication process, the fault models of the memories are more complicated than the fault models of the logical cores. So far, more than 40 march algorithms ...
متن کاملUsing SDRAMs for two-dimensional accesses of long 2n × 2m-point FFTs and transposing
When transposing large matrices using SDRAM memories, typically a control overhead significantly reduces the data throughput. In this paper, a new address mapping scheme is introduced, taking advantage of multiple banks and burst capabilities of modern SDRAMs. Other address mapping strategies minimize the total number of SDRAM page-opens while traversing the two-dimensional index-space in row o...
