Built-In Self Test (BIST) Architecture having Distributed Interpretation and Generalized Command Protocol

摘要

Built-in self-test (BIST) architecture having distributed interpretation and generalized command protocol is disclosed. In an embodiment, a system is disclosed and includes a centralized built-in self-test (BIST) controller configured to store an algorithm to test a plurality of memory modules. The BIST controller stores the algorithm as a set of generalized commands that conform to a command protocol. The BIST controller is configured to send the set of generalized commands to a sequencer.
