Abstract
In one embodiment, a computer-implemented system for compiling a fuse assembly for a memory is disclosed. The claimed embodiment comprises: means for defining a memory group including at least one memory instance, each memory instance being characterized by its memory configuration data; means for determining number of fuses required for each memory instance based on its configuration data; means for automatically passing fuse information relating to the number of fuses to a fuse compiler; and means for generating, based on the fuse information, a fuse box assembly having a plurality of fuses organized into a set of fuse segments, each segment corresponding to a particular memory instance of the memory group.
Claims8
A computer program product that includes a computer usable medium having computer readable program code for compiling a fuse assembly for a memory, comprising:
- program code operable to define a memory group that includes a plurality of memory instances that are functionally related, each memory instance being characterized by its memory configuration data;
- program code operable to determine a number of fuses required for each memory instance based on its configuration data;
- program code operable to automatically pass fuse information relating to said number of fuses to a fuse compiler;
- and
- program code operable to generate, based on said fuse information, a fuse box assembly for said memory group, said fuse box assembly having a plurality of fuses organized into a set of fuse segments, each segment corresponding to a particular memory instance of said memory group.
A method for facilitating a fuse assembly compiling process associated with a memory architecture, comprising:
- defining, via a user interface, a memory group including a plurality of memory instances that are functionally related, each memory instance being characterized by its memory configuration data;
- and
- automatically passing a number of fuses necessary for each memory instance in said memory group to a fuse compiler, wherein said number of fuses required for each memory instance is determined based on its configuration data.
