Abstract
A memory programmer may be coupled through a first processor and a physical interface to a semiconductor memory to be programmed. The interface may be the same interface that allows two separate processors in a multiprocessor memory to communicate with one another in one embodiment. Thus, an independent memory bus coupled directly to the memory components to be programmed may be eliminated, reducing form factor, decreasing costs, and increasing manufacturing throughput in some embodiments of the present invention.
