Abstract
Method and system for shortening the time needed to test a semiconductor device having a plurality of memory circuits. The semiconductor device includes an address decoder for selecting a plurality of memory circuits and causing the memory circuits to perform a read/write operation. A comparator receives plural pieces of read data read from the plurality of memory circuits and compares the plural pieces of read data with one another. A processing unit compares one of the plural pieces of read data with write data. Using the comparison results of the comparator and the processing unit shorten the time needed to test the plurality of memory circuits.

7318175 - Memory modeling circuit with fault toleration - Owned by Via Technologies, Inc. (Taipei,TW)

A memory modeling circuit with fault toleration includes a compare circuit, a control circuit and a test circuit. The compare circuit receives the data stored in the same address of memories and compares data with each other to produce the correct reading data. The control circuit connects with the control signals of the memories and detects that control signals. The control circuit has data output/input ports. When the control signal of the memories is to write, the control circuit enters a writing mode and writes the writing data received from the data output/input ports in the same address of the memories. When the control signal of the memories is to read, the control circuit enters a reading mode, receiving the reading data generated by the compare circuit and outputs it through the data output/input ports. The test circuit receives the data stored in the same address of the memories and the reading data generated by the compare circuit to generate a testing result. The testing result can identify a faulty memory or a faulty compare circuit.

7366597 - Validating control system software variables - Owned by GM Global Technology Operations, Inc. (Detroit, MI)

A vehicle having a system for validating a variable signal for input to a processor-performed function. An input module receives the signal. A processor tests first and second storage locations of a memory. After testing, the processor stores the signal in the first and second storage locations to obtain first and second stored values. The processor compares the first and second stored values and tests the first stored value for any corruption associated with receipt of the signal by said input module. The processor inputs the first and second stored values to first and second paths for performing the function to obtain two function results, and compares the results.
