  • Patent number: 8307261
    Abstract: A management method for a non-volatile memory comprises the steps of providing the non-volatile memory with at least one block having a plurality of pages to store user data and parity data; dividing at least one of the pages into a plurality of partitions each including the user data and parity data; determining codeword length of each of the partitions, the codeword length comprising message length with sufficient storage to store the user data and parity length storing the parity data; and storing extra parity data in the partition with the codeword length. When storing extra parity data in the codeword length, the parity length is increased and the message length is decreased.

  • Publication number: 20120124441
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an embedded testing module and testing method thereof which encodes one or more test commands to reduce the storage space required by a testing memory. In addition, most functions of automatic test equipment can be replaced by the present invention, in which, through the testing memory according to the present invention, if errors are found during testing, the error information will be transmitted to the external automatic test equipment and the error information can be optionally recorded in a memory. A test operator can get detailed descriptions from the error information stored in the memory, so the test operator can save time for subsequent debugging and tracking operations concerning the errors.

  • Publication number: 20100332177
    Abstract: A test access control apparatus includes test access mechanism (TAM) buses and an extended IEEE 1149.1 Test Access Port (TAP) Controller. The TAM buses support memory built-in-self-test (BIST) circuit for the memory known-good-die (KGD) test, scan chains for the logic KGD test; and through-silicon-via (TSV) chains that are configured to conduct the TSV test that verifies any defect in vertical interconnects between any two chip layers of the stacked chip device. The TAP Controller is coupled to the TAM buses and is configured to control the memory KGD test, the logic KGD test and the TSV test between two chip layers. A cost-effective connection or configuration of test access control apparatus in 3D-IC is also present.
