Abstract

A DRAM with multiple-refresh-period (MRP) method is one of effective refresh power reduction techniques. To support the MRP method, effective test methods for classifying the refresh period of each DRAM block are needed. In this paper, we propose an effective test method for classifying the refresh periods of DRAM blocks. Also, a programmable built-in self-Test (BIST) scheme being able to support the test method is proposed.
