The system further includes a built-in self-test-and-repair (BISTR) module having a second repair register memory, wherein the BISTR module is used to test and repair the RAM array. The system further includes the one-time programming memory (OTPM) for storing repair data from more than one test and repair stages for the RAM array, wherein the repair data from different test and repair stages are stored in a same data segment.
