Memory devices have been becoming more complex with every generation and this trend is very likely to continue. Different kinds of memories present different challenges for board level test applications. In this paper we discuss several of those challenges and will introduce a new test technology standardized as IEEE Std 1581, offering an elegant solution to many problems related to the test of the board and system level connectivity at memory device pins.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
