Abstract
A bit failure detection circuit supports reliability testing of a memory device by accumulating a sum of data errors in data read from the memory device. The detection circuit compares a plurality of bytes of data read from the memory device against a plurality of bytes of reference data supplied during a test operation. The detection circuit also generates a flag upon detection that the sum of data errors exceeds a threshold number of acceptable data errors.
