METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IMPLICIT OR EXPLICIT ONLINE REPAIR OF MEMORY

摘要

Systems and methods related to a memory device are provided. The systems and methods include using at least one driver with predetermined reduced driving capability to drive at least one of the memory elements of the memory device in a reliable detection algorithm. The at least one driver has reduced driving capability compared to a driver used for standard read access. The reliable detection algorithm can include detecting failing memory elements on a respective reading current diverging from an expected or expectable reading current.
