Abstract: An effective EWS flow is implemented by expanding the functions of the microcontroller
normally embedded in a FLASH EPROM memory device and of the
integrated test structures. 
     The architecture gives the possibility of executing test routines internally without
involving any external complex or expensive test equipment to control the test
program. The algorithms are executed by the onboard micro-controllers (that may
be reading either from an embedded ROM or from a GLOBAL CACHE
purposely provided). Such a GLOBAL CACHE may be downloaded with the
desired routine to a TUI block and provides a full test flexibility also at the device
debug level. 
     Managing test routines by an internal algorithm permits to make the device
architecture transparent from a tester point of view, by purposely creating a
standard interface with a set of defined commands and instructions to be
interpreted by the on board micro and internally executed.

Abstract: An electrophoretic display comprises a plurality of pixels (18) with an electrophoretic material (8, 9) which comprises charged particles. A first electrode (6) and second electrode (5, 5') associated with each one of the pixels (18) presents a drive voltage waveform (VD) across each one of the pixels (18). The charged particles are able to occupy, between the first electrode (6) and the second electrode (5), two limit positions and intermediate positions between the two limit positions which are defined by the drive voltage (VD). An addressing circuit (16, 10)generates the drive voltage waveform (VD) by successively applying between the first electrode (6) and the second electrode (5) during an image update period (IUP): (i) a reset pulse (RE) enabling said particles to substantially occupy one of the extreme positions, and (ii) a drive pulse (Vdr) having a level in accordance with an optical state to be reached by the associated one of the pixels (18). The addressing circuit (16, 10) further generates a first shaking pulse (SP1) comprising at least one preset pulse having an energy sufficient to release particles present in one of the extreme positions, but insufficient to enable said particles to reach the other one of the extreme positions. The first shaking pulse (SP1) occurs during a same first shaking time period (TS1) during each image update periods (IUP), independent on the optical state a pixel (18) should reach. The first shaking time period (TS1) precedes the reset pulse (RE) or occurs in-between the reset pulse (RE) and the drive pulse (Vdr).
