Abstract

An apparatus includes a first group of memory units and a second group of memory units coupled to a first data path and a second data path coupled to a controller, a first delay element on the first data path coupled to the second group of memory units and configured to send, from the controller to the second group of memory units, signals for write and read operations in a sequence of time cycles delayed by a time cycle with respect to the first group of memory units, and a second delay element on the second data path and coupled to the first group of memory units and configured to send, from the first group of memory units to the controller, test result signals delayed by a time cycle, the delayed test result signals having a matching delay to the delayed write and read operations.
