摘要： An apparatus for testing a unit comprising an internal processor coupled to a register by an internal bus. The internal processor is programmed so that it can execute an algorithm. When executed, the algorithm performs an operation on the unit. The register is for storing a state datum. The internal bus is used by the internal processor to access the state datum when the internal processor is executing the algorithm. The testing apparatus comprises an external processor disposed external to the unit and an interface and switch disposed on the unit. The interface is coupled to the internal and external processors and is for receiving a plurality of commands from the external processor. The commands include an internal processor command and an open trap command. If issued, the internal processor command causes the internal processor to execute the algorithm. The switch is coupled to the interface and coupled between the internal processor and the internal bus. If the interface receives the open trap command, the switch permits the external processor to access the state datum of the register.

摘要： Systems including a bit sequence program controller to program in sequence non-volatile memory cells in an array of programmable non-volatile memory cells. The bit sequence program controller determines the bits that require programming by comparing the bits of the program word with an erased logical state of the array of programmable non-volatile memory cells. The bit sequence program controller further indicates which non-volatile memory cells in a word of non-volatile memory cells in the array of non-volatile memory cells require programming to match the program word. The bit sequence program controller counts the number of the bits that require programming in the program word by counting the number of bits of the program word that are not in an erased logical state to determine when the programming should be completed.

摘要： A flash memory that could not have completed an operation within a time required by a host may be able to work with the host by dividing the operation into phases that may be completed within the allocated time. As a result, a type of memory that would otherwise be unable to be implemented in a format, such as a memory card, may be used effectively.

摘要： A method of enabling access to a test mode of a semiconductor memory in response to user commands. The method enables test mode access only when a number of "keys" are presented in the proper sequence via the memory device pins. During the first phase of the unlocking process, an array controller determines whether the correct confirmation codes were input via the address and data pins. If they were, the array controller proceeds to the second phase of the unlocking process. During the second phase voltage levels on selected control pins are checked for a transition to a first voltage level. If the control pins transition as required, the array controller proceeds to the third phase. During the third phase, the array controller waits a limited time for receipt of a second test mode enable command. The second test mode enable command must be followed by correct confirmation codes. If the third phase is successfully completed, the array controller writes to a test mode enable access register. As a result, an enable test mode signal becomes active, which allows the user interlace to respond to subsequently issued test mode commands. Also described is a method of eliminating access to the test mode of the semiconductor memory device, which includes a nonvolatile instruction memory.
摘要翻译：一种能够响应于用户命令访问半导体存储器的测试模式的方法。该方法仅在通过存储器件引脚以适当顺序呈现多个“键”时才允许测试模式访问。在解锁过程的第一阶段，阵列控制器确定是否通过地址和数据引脚输入了正确的确认码。如果是，阵列控制器进入解锁过程的第二阶段。在第二阶段期间，检查所选择的控制引脚上的电压电平以转换到第一电压电平。如果控制引脚根据需要进行转换，则阵列控制器进入第三阶段。在第三阶段期间，阵列控制器等待有限的时间接收第二测试模式使能命令。第二个测试模式使能命令必须遵循正确的确认代码。如果第三阶段成功完成，阵列控制器写入测试模式使能访问寄存器。因此，使能测试模式信号变为有效，这允许用户交织响应随后发出的测试模式命令。还描述了一种消除对包括非易失性指令存储器的半导体存储器件的测试模式的访问的方法。

摘要： A semiconductor flash EPROM/EEPROM device which includes a command port for receiving instruction on a data line and providing control signals to a memory for providing program and erase functions, a method to program and erase the memory. A program sequence is comprised of setting up a program command during a first write cycle, preforming a second write cycle to load address to address register and data to to a data register, programming during a program cycle and writing a program verify command during a third write cycle to verify the programmed data during a read cycle. An erase sequence is comprised of writing a setup erase command during a first write cycle, an erase command during a second write cycle providing the erasure during an erase cycle, writing the erase verify command during a third write cycle which also addresses the address of the memory and providing erase verification during a read cycle. Both the erase and program cycles provide for measured incremental erasing and programming.
