Abstract
An apparatus including a controller configured to present one or more commands and receive one or more responses, a plurality of transport circuits configured to receive one of the commands, present the responses, and generate one or more control signals, and a plurality of memory-controlling circuits, each coupled to a respective one of the plurality of transport circuits and configured to generate one or more memory access signals in response to the one or more control signals, receive one or more memory output signals from a respective memory in response to the one or more memory access signals, and generate the responses in response to the one or more memory output signals. Each respective memory may be independently sized. The controller generally provides a common testing routine for each respective memory that may be adjusted for the size of each respective memory by the memory-controlling circuits.
