Intelligent Memory Assigned Patent
Dynamically reconfigured semiconductor tester for volatile memories and NVMs
By Francis Pelletier | December 24, 2024 at 2:00 pmIntelligent Memory Limited, Kwai Chung, Hong Kong, has been assigned a patent (12099424) developed by Amidi, Mike Hossein, Lake Forest, CA, for “apparatus, systems, and methods for dynamically reconfigured semiconductor tester for volatile and non-volatile memories.“
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A memory testing device uses a master control unit to concurrently operate multiple, intelligent, slave control units (SCUs). SCUs have one or more processing unit(s) (i.e. Finite State Machines, micro controllers, processors) capable of processing one or more firmware with or without operating system (i.e. bare-metal, embedded OS, RTOS (real time operating system)) to perform a series of task defined by firmware(s) for testing volatile and/or non-volatile memory devices connected into one or more DUT devices plus SCU has capability of having operating system and install and run host applications locally within each SCU units to mimic host applications environments along with performing regular memory testing.”
The patent application was filed on 2022-11-10 (17/985037).
