Abstract

A method in a memory device that operates in a testing mode, includes receiving a vector to be written to the memory device. The vector is written to the memory device only if the vector belongs to a predefined set of test vectors. If the vector does not belong to the set of test vectors, the vector is converted to one of the test vectors, and the converted vector is written to the memory device.
