  • Apparatus and method for reducing test resources in testing drams
    Publication number: 20070168790
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method are disclosed for reducing the pin driver count required for testing computer memory devices, specifically Rambus DRAM, while a die is on a semiconductor wafer. By reducing the pin count, more DRAMs can be tested at the same time, thereby reducing test cost and time. One preferred embodiment utilizes a trailing edge of a precharge clock to select a new active bank address, so that the address line required to select a new active address does not have to be accessed at the same time as the row lines.
    Type: Application

    Inventors: Chris Cooper, Siang Giam, Jerry McBride, Scott Gatzemeier, Scott Ayres, David Brown
