Abstract

An apparatus including a protocol engine and a built-in self test (BIST) engine. The built-in self test (BIST) engine is coupled to the protocol engine. The built-in self test (BIST) engine may be configured to directly control when to open and close rows of a synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM) during double data rate (DDR) operations.
