Abstract:
The present invention is generally related to integrated circuit devices, and more particularly, to methods and systems of a multi-chip package (MCP) containing a self-diagnostic scheme for detecting errors in the MCP. The MCP generally comprises a controller, at least one volatile memory chip having error detection logic, at least one non-volatile memory chip, and at least one fail signature register for storing fail signature data related to memory errors detected in the MCP. The controller can poll the fail signature register for fail signature data related to memory errors stored therein. Upon detection of fail signature data, the controller can store the fail signature data on a fail signature register located on a non-volatile memory.
