US Patent 10365325 Semiconductor memory device

Techniques for memory I/O tests using integrated test data paths are provided. In an example, a method for operating input/output data paths of a memory apparatus can include receiving, during a first mode, non-test information at a data terminal of a first channel of the memory apparatus from a memory array of the first channel via a first data path, receiving during a first test mode, first test information at the data terminal of the first channel from a first additional data path coupling the first channel with a second channel of the memory apparatus, and wherein an interface die of the memory apparatus includes the first data path and the additional data path.
