摘要:
A control transistor is connected in parallel with an input transistor of a bias generation circuit in a voltage control delay circuit. A power supply potential Vcc is divided by voltage divider resistors to be applied to the gate of the control transistor. Reduction in the power supply potential Vcc causes reduction in a current Ib flowing to the control transistor, and a current Ic=Ia+Ib flowing to a delay time variable element. When the power supply potential Vcc is reduced, the factor of a delay time period of delay time variable elements becoming shorter due to a smaller amplitude of a clock signal is canceled with the factor of the delay time period of the delay time variable elements become longer due to a smaller current Ic flowing thereto. Therefore, variation in the delay time period can be suppressed to a low level.

To one memory array, global signal input/output line pairs in two systems, a switch for connecting the global IO line pairs to a write buffer group alternately on a clock cycle basis, and another switch for connecting the global IO line pairs to an equalize circuit alternately on a clock cycle basis are provided. During one clock cycle, writing of data through one global IO line pair and equalization of the other global IO line pair can be carried out in parallel. Therefore, data can be written easily at a high frequency.

In order to reduce a test time for a synchronous type memory device, a compression circuit compresses a plurality of memory cell data which are inputted in a plurality of read registers provided for a data output terminal to 1-bit data. A bank selection circuit selects an output of the compression circuit of either a bank #A or a bank #B. A tristate inverter buffer passes the 1-bit compression data selected by the bank selection circuit in accordance with a test mode command signal. The data output terminal outputs compressed data of a plurality of bits of memory cells. Thus, it is possible to simultaneously determine pass/fail of a plurality of memory cells, thereby reducing the test time.
