Automated Testing of Functionality of Multiple NVRAM Cards
A system can validate multiple nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM) devices in parallel. The system can concurrently write a first data to a first volatile memory of a first NVRAM device and a second NVRAM device. The system can modify a first electrical power source that provides an electrical power output that is received by the first NVRAM device and is received by the second NVRAM device to modify a voltage of the electrical power from a first value to a second value to initiate the first NVRAM device and the second NVRAM device to respectively perform a vault. The system can reset the first electrical power source, causing the first NVRAM device and the second NVRAM device to reset. The system can verify whether the first NVRAM device and the second NVRAM device respectively store the first data in volatile memory subsequent to performing the resetting.
SIGNAL DETECTION SYSTEM AND MEMORY DETECTION METHOD
A signal detection system and a memory detection method are provided. The system includes a signal generator, generating a reference test signal based on an external parameter, the reference test signal being a clock signal satisfying a preset duty cycle, where a duty cycle test is performed on the reference test signal based on a test circuit, to determine whether a function of the test circuit is normal. If the function of the test circuit is normal, different portions under test are sequentially selected based on a test control signal, and the duty cycle test is performed, based on the test circuit, on a signal outputted by each of the selected portions under test. The portions under test include a signal converter and a write clock path.
MEMORY SYSTEM
According to one embodiment, a memory system includes: a controller configured to execute an error correction process on first data read from a first area at a first address of a memory device and determine a read level used for reading data at the first address according to a result of the correction process. The controller executes the correction process on first frame data of the first data. When the correction process on the first frame data has failed, the controller executes the correction process on second frame data of the first data. When the correction process on the second frame data has succeeded, the controller determines the read level based on a result of comparison between the second frame data and a result of the correction process on the second frame data.
