Abstract:
In a system including a processor and memory coupled to the processor, a method of device failure analysis includes the steps of: upon each error detected within a test series performed on a device, the processor storing within a table in the memory an address at which the error occurred in the device and storing a bit position of each failed bit corresponding to that address; for each unique address at which at least one error occurred, determining how many different bit positions corresponding to the address failed during the test series; and based on results of the test series, determining whether the device failed the test series.
