Abstract
Methods of operating an apparatus allow a memory to generate a test mode signal to trigger a test, in response to the memory detecting a predetermined command from a system bus.
Claims31
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a memory, information identifying a command for the memory to monitor;
- loading the information into a register of the memory;
- setting an indicator in the memory, the indicator to enable or disable issuing a test mode signal, the test mode signal applied to provide output from the memory to trigger a test in response to the memory detecting the command from a system bus.
A method comprising:
- monitoring a system bus in a memory;
- and
- generating a test mode signal in the memory to provide output from the memory to trigger a test in response to detecting a predetermined command on the system bus.
A method comprising:
- arranging a set of bits to send to a memory to load into a register of the memory;
- and
- outputting the set of bits, wherein the set of bits includes data to issue a test mode signal to provide output from the memory to trigger a test in response to the memory detecting a predetermined command from a system bus.
A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for performing a method comprising:
- arranging a set of bits to send to a memory to load into a register of the memory;
- and
- outputting the set of bits, wherein the set of bits includes data to issue a test mode signal to provide output from the memory to trigger a test in response to the memory detecting a predetermined command from a system bus.
A computer-readable medium having stored thereon a data structure comprising:
- a field containing data representing information to issue a test mode signal from the memory to trigger a test in response to the memory detecting a predetermined command from a system bus.
