DDR MemBIST
• In WR_SEED state, MemBIST will create 5 crc32 data sets and load into MBDATA4/
5/6/7/9 from the initial seed register MBLFSRSED. When 5 sets of random data are
loaded into MBDATA, the FSM will transition out of this state to WR_NXTAD state.
• In the WR_NXTAD state, the next address for the operation is calculated and the
address issued. The FSM then transitions to the WR_AVAIL state immediately.
• The FSM will alternate between WR_NXTAD and WR_AVAIL until all writes are
issued. In the WR_AVAIL state, a write command will be issued. Once the previous
cycle’s DRAM timing requirements are met (indicated by cget true), the FSM leaves
the WR_AVAIL state. If the write command issued was not to the last address, the
FSM will transition to WR_NXTAD. If this was the last address, the FSM will go to
WR_WAIT state.
• In the WR_WAIT state, the FSM will wait for the timing for the last write to be met,
and then will transition to the WR_DONE state.
• If this is a write only operation, then the FSM will go back to the IDLE state. If this
is a write with read comparison test, the FSM will go to the RD_START state.
• In RD_START state, FSM will look at the decoding of DATA type selection. If LFSR
data type generation is selected, FSM will go to RD_SEED state. If not, FSM will
directly go to RD_NXTAD state.
• In RD_SEED state, MemBIST will create 5 crc32 data sets and load into MBDATA4/
5/6/7/9 from the initial seed register MBLFSRSED. When 5 sets of random data is
set and loaded into MBDATA, FSM will transit out of this state to RD_NXTAD state.
• In the RD_NXTAD state, the next address for the operation is calculated and the
address issued. The FSM transitions to the RD_AVAIL state immediately.
• The FSM will alternate between RD_NXTAD and RD_AVAIL until all reads are issued.
In the RD_AVAIL state, a read command will be issued. Once the previous cycle’s
DRAM timing requirements are met (indicated by cget true), the FSM leaves the
RD_AVAIL state. If the read command issued was not to the last address, the FSM
will transition to RD_NXTAD. If this was the last address, the FSM will go to
RD_WAIT state. If this is a back to back read/write operation, the FSM will transit
from the RD_AVAIL state to the RD_NXTWR state.
• In the RD_NXTWR state, the address for the write command will be issued (which
is the same as the read address previously used). The FSM then transitions to the
RD_WRAVL state immediately.
• From the RD_WRAVL state, if this is the last address, the FSM will go to the
RD_WAIT state after meeting the DRAM timing requirements. If this is not the last
address, the FSM will go back to the RD_NXTAD state again after meeting the
DRAM timing requirements.
• In the RD_WAIT state, the FSM will wait for the timing requirements for the last
read or write to be met, and then transition to the RD_DONE state.
• From the RD_DONE state the FSM will always go to the IDLE state.
