Zusammenfassung:A memory control circuit, coupled to a multi-channel memory, includes a plurality of channel controllers coupled to respective channel memories of the multi-channel memory, and a built-in self-test (BIST) circuit. The BIST circuit includes a BIST controller and a plurality of command index registers which store respective command indexes related to the channel controllers. The BIST controller receives notification from at least two channel controllers of the channel controllers, which indicates that the at least two channel controllers complete respective current test commands. When the BIST controller arbitrates, the BIST controller selects at least a channel controller from the at least two channel controllers which send the notification, and sends respective next test command(s) to the selected at least one channel controller based on the respective command index(es) of the selected at least one channel controller.
