ABSTRACT:
A system and method for providing DRAM device-level repair via address remappings external to the device. A system includes a memory controller having an interface to one or more memory devices via a memory module. The memory devices include addressable redundant and non-redundant memory blocks. The memory controller also includes a mechanism for utilizing one or more redundant memory blocks in place of one or more failing non-redundant memory blocks via an address remapping external to the memory device. The remapping occurs while the system is on-line.
