Patent ID: 7173840

Claim:
A method for programming a memory module by stimulating individual inputs of the memory module via at least one memory cell of a Boundary Scan Register (BSCAN), the method comprising: exclusively activating such control signal input of the memory module responsible for activating or deactivating a write operation, wherein a switch-over of a WRITE ENABLE signal fed to the control signal input by the memory cell from â€œLOWâ€ to â€œHIGHâ€ potential or from â€œHIGHâ€ to â€œLOWâ€ potential is controlled using an instruction sequence fed to inputs of an update flip-flop of the memory cell, the update flip-flop generating the WRITE ENABLE signal having a â€œLOWâ€ level or a â€œHIGHâ€ level based on the instruction sequence.
