  • Patent number: 11506703
    Abstract: The invention introduces a method for verifying memory interface, performed by a processing unit, to include: driving a physical layer of a memory interface to pull-high or pull-low a signal voltage on each Input-Output (IO) pin thereof to a preset level according to a setting; obtaining a verification result corresponding to each IO pin from the memory interface; and storing each verification result in a static random access memory (SRAM), thereby enabling a testing host to obtain each verification result of the SRAM through a test interface. The testing host may examine each verification result to know whether any unexpected error has occurred in signals on the IO pins of the memory interface.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11112981
    Abstract: The invention introduces a method for configuring impedance of memory interfaces, performed by a processing unit, including: setting a first impedance value associated with an on-die termination (ODT) for a receiver of a controller to a first default value; setting a second impedance value associated with a driver variable resistance for a transmitter of a memory device to a second default value; performing tests for test combinations each comprises a third impedance value associated with a driver variable resistance for a transmitter of the controller and a fourth impedance value associated with an ODT for a receiver of the memory device; and storing a test result for each in a predefined location of a static random access memory (SRAM), thereby enabling a calibration host to obtain the test result for each from the SRAM.
