    摘要: A programmable storage element for redundancy-programming includes a programmable antifuse circuit which includes a plurality of first resistors (F1a, F1b, F1c) and a switching circuit (Q Fa , Q Fb , Q Fc , Q Fd ) for coupling the first resistors in series in response to a plurality of first control signals (Ta, Tb, Tc, Td) and for coupling the first resistors in parallel in response to a plurality of second control signals to permit programming of the first resistors, and a sensing circuit for determining whether or not the first resistors have been programmed. The state of the first resistors is determined by comparing a first voltage drop across the first resistors with a second voltage drop across a second resistor. Each of the first resistors is an unsilicided polysilicon conductor which has an irreversible resistance decrease when a predetermined threshold current is applied for a minimum period of time.

    摘要: A programmable self-timed refresh circuit for a semiconductor memory array and methods for programming the self-refresh rate and for non-invasively and deterministically testing the self-timed refresh circuit for establishing/verifying a refresh rate and a wait state interval for the self-refresh operation. The programmable refresh circuit includes a self-timed oscillator that outputs a clocking signal, and a programmable pattern generator that outputs a first signal pattern and a second signal pattern. The first signal pattern is fed to a counter circuit which also receives the clocking signal. The counter circuit outputs a signal pulse whenever the count driven by the clocking signal reaches a digital pattern representation corresponding to the first signal pattern generated by the programmable pattern generator. Refresh control logic is connected to receive the pulse signal and respond thereto by refreshing a portion of the memory array of the semiconductor memory device. The second signal pattern is employed by the refresh control logic to set the wait state interval for the self-refresh operation. Multiple methods for testing the programmable self-refresh circuit are also set forth.

    摘要: The programmable refresh circuit includes a self-timed oscillator that outputs a clocking signal, and a programmable pattern generator that outputs a first signal pattern and a second signal pattern. The first signal pattern is fed to a counter circuit which also receives the clocking signal and outputs a signal pulse whenever the count driven by the clocking signal reaches a digital pattern representation corresp. to the first signal pattern generated by the programmable pattern generator. Refresh control logic is connected to receive the pulse signal and respond to it by refreshing a portion of the memory array of the semiconductor memory device. The second signal pattern is employed by the refresh control logic to set the wait state interval for the self-refresh operation. The semiconductor device receives row address strobe (RAS) signal and column address strobe (CAS) signal from the control system connected to it, and signal initiating self-refresh comprises CAS before RAS transition of signals received from control systems.
