Abstract

An electronic circuit includes: a memory including a data input, an address input, a command input, and a data output; a register having a data input coupled to the data output of the memory; a comparator circuit having a first data input coupled to the data output of the memory, and a second data input coupled to a data output of the register; an inverter circuit having a data input coupled to the data output of the register, and a data output coupled to the data input of the memory; and a controller having a command output coupled to the command input of the memory, an address output coupled to the address input of the memory, and a fault input coupled to a data output of the comparator circuit, where the controller is configured to determine whether the memory has a fault based on the fault input of the controller.
