Flexible storage interface tester with variable parallelism and firmware upgradeability

摘要

A system for use in automated test equipment. In one embodiment, the system includes a configurable integrated circuit (IC) programmable to provide test patterns for use in automated test equipment. The configurable IC includes a configurable interface core that is programmable to provide functionality of one or more protocol based interfaces for a device under test (DUT) and is programmable to interface with the DUT. The system also includes a connection configurable to couple the configurable IC to the DUT.
