multi-port memories Last modified: Friday, May 19, 2006

Multi-port memories are commonly used components in VLSI systems, such as register files in microprocessors, storage for media or network applications. The content of a multi-port memory can be accessed through different ports simultaneously. This feature is especially valuable for high speed processors, media processors, and communication processors. Multi-port memories require more testing effort since all ports have to be verified.

Multiport Memories Soup Up Wireless Baseband Processing Multiport memories, also known as specialty memories, represent one such component enabling today.s network-equipment subsystems. Simulation-Based Test Algorithm Generation and Port Scheduling for Multi-Port Memories (PDF) The paper presents a simulation-based test algorithm generation and test scheduling methodology for multi-port memories. The purpose is to minimize the testing time while keeping the test algorithm in a simple and regular format for easy test generation, fault diagnosis, and built-in self-test (BIST) circuit implementation.
