Abstract
A memory address remapping architecture is applied to execute an address remapping method for repairing a main memory. A valid flag and an essential flag in a TCAM corresponding to at least one subcube address in a spare memory are initialized, and the main memory is checked to find out some faulty cell addresses. The Hamming distance between the subcube address and the faulty cell address is calculated, and the faulty cell address is merged into the subcube address by a masked bits concentrator when the Hamming distance is not larger than an address-width degree of the subcube address and the merged number of the subcube address is not larger than a threshold value.
