Abstract:
Memory devices and methods of repairing a memory are provided. A first array includes normal memory cells, and a second array includes repair memory cells. The repair memory cells are configured to be used in place of the normal memory cells. A look-up table comprises memory bitcells configured to store a set of entries including addresses of defective memory cells of the normal memory cells. A match circuit is configured to evaluate whether an input memory address is stored as a defective address in the memory bitcells. The match circuit is also configured to generate a selection signal for selecting the normal memory cells or the repair memory cells based on the evaluation.
