Programming NOR or large NAND flash devices can be done using a variety of technologies, including boundary scan (JTAG), processor-controlled test (emulation), or FPGA-controlled test. Which embedded instrument you use is a trade-off between speed, complexity and cost.

One of the newest IEEE Standards Committees is currently defining the P1838 3D Test Standard. The main goal of P1838 is to develop a “Per Die” Access Mechanism that becomes a “Stacked Die” Access Mechanism when the individual die are stacked into 3D silicon. Find out more…
