  • Patent number: 5541938
    Abstract: System for enabling the use of semiconductor dynamic memories having faulty locations therein where the memory is organized in banks for forming an elementary information word. The system identifies all homologous address locations which are not faulty, and the non-faulty locations are then stored as a map in a non-volatile read-only-memory related to the memory bank so as to form a transcoding table. Access to the memory blocks involves the use of a central processing unit requesting access to a block identified by a sequential address. The system then provides for associating the material address of a block of the memory array to the logical address, this association or transcoding operation being carried out by the non-volatile read-only-memory.
