ABSTRACT:
A memory device may include a controller and a plurality of flash memory dice. The controller is provided for read and write access and communications with a host. However, the controller may also be utilized to test one or more of the flash memory dice mounted on the device. In this way, testing may be achieved with a relatively modestly priced tester by making use of the capabilities of the onboard controller. As a result, the cost of a memory device may be reduced in some cases.
