20090077344Method for bus testing and addressing in mass memory components - A method and apparatus for addressing a plurality of mass memory components coupled to a host device. The memory components can be arranged in a chain or in a ring configuration. In a ring, each memory component receives a bit pattern from the preceding stage and sends a bit pattern to the next stage in consecutive clock periods. Based on the received bit pattern, a recipient component knows the bus width between itself and the sending component. In a chain, each memory component also sends the received bit pattern back to the preceding stage. The memory component can generate its own address by counting clock periods. Alternatively, a recipient component changes its received bit pattern before sending the bit pattern to the next stage. As such, the recipient component knows its address based on the received bit pattern.03-19-2009
20090094678Mulimode device - A mode indexing table is used for listing the available modes in a multimode device. From information in the mode indexing table, a host recognizes the modes as listed in the table. The host has a mandatory initialization mode using a known technique, such that the device can enter into an initialization mode directly or via a boot function. During initialization, the host receives the remaining part of the table from the multi-mode device and recognizes the functionality of each of the listed modes in the table. Among the available modes, some modes are allowed to access data of other modes according to the level of access. The multimode device has some commands that can be used for direct mode switching.04-09-2009

20100125760Providing protection for a memory device - A method for monitoring the status of a memory device is disclosed. The method includes, during operation of the memory device, exercising a first portion of the memory device more than at least one other portion of the memory device in order to induce an accelerated rate of aging of the first portion. The first portion is monitored to detect at least a potential for a failure in the first portion. According to the method, in response to monitoring the first portion, at least one corrective action is performed. Apparatus and computer readable media are also disclosed.05-20-2010
