Abstract

In some embodiments, a system includes a memory testing circuit configured to perform a test to determine whether a portion of a memory is operational at a specified amount of time after a power-up request by performing operations. The operations may include sending a power-up request to the portion. The operations may further include sending, at the specified amount of time after the power-up request, a write request for a write operation at the portion. The operations may further include sending a read request that requests a read operation for data written by the write operation. The operations may further include determining, based on data received in response to the read request, whether the portion correctly performed the read operation and the write operation.
