摘要： A word line driver for use in a semiconductor memory device includes a boosted voltage generator, a sub word line driver and a main word line driver. The boosted voltage generator generates a boosted voltage by receiving an internal power supply voltage and pumping electric charge. The sub word line driver receives the internal power supply voltage and activates a boosted voltage control signal after supplying the internal power supply voltage to a boost node in a command operating mode. The main word line driver enables a word line by supplying the boosted voltage to the boost node in response to the boosted voltage control signal in a normal operating mode, and enables the word line with the boosted voltage after boosting the word line to the internal power supply voltage by changing the boost node from the internal power supply voltage to the boosted voltage in the command operating mode.

摘要： An integrated circuit device includes a test circuit and at least one flag generator circuit. The test circuit is configured to generate first and second sets of test results in parallel in response to a memory test operation. The first and second sets of test results respectively correspond to first and second memory banks. The test circuit is further configured to merge respective ones of the first set of test results with respective ones of the second set of test results to provide a set of merged test results to respective ones of a set of output terminals of the integrated circuit device. The at least one flag generator circuit is configured to generate a first flag signal that indicates a presence of at least one memory test error in the first set of test results, and a second flag signal that indicates a presence of at least one memory test error in the second set of test results. Based on the set of merged test results and the first and second flag signals, the test circuit may determine which of the memory blocks of the first and second memory banks includes a defective memory cell therein. Related methods are also discussed.

摘要： A semiconductor memory device and multi-row address test method reduce the time it takes to perform the multi-row address test. The semiconductor memory device comprises normal memory cell blocks, which can include normal memory cells and spare cells that replace defective cells. The device also includes a redundancy signal generator to output a redundancy signal indicating whether any memory cell blocks include defective cells and address signals of repair word lines corresponding to the defective cells. A redundancy signal decoder decodes the redundancy signal and the address signals of the repair word lines and outputs word line enable signals, and word line drivers that do not enable the repair word lines, but selectively enable the normal word lines in response to the word line enable signals.
