An integrated semiconductor memory device includes a first memory zone, a second memory zone, first address connections and a second address connection. A second address signal present at the second address connection specifies the access to the first or second memory zone, whereas it is specified via first address signals at the first address connections which memory cell is accessed within the first or second memory zone. In a first memory configuration, all address connections are driven externally with address signals and the access to a memory cell in the first or second memory zone is controlled. In a second memory configuration, only the first address connections are driven externally whereas a signaling bit in a mode register regulates the access to the first or second memory zone. This provides for access to the second memory zone even if there is no possibility of externally driving the second address connection.

摘要:
An error code is generated by generating error correction data from a data sequence. These error correction data together with the data sequence are then written to a memory unit so as to be read from the memory unit. During the reading or during the writing, one bit in the data sequence has its content changed. This induces a bit error from which an error code is generated which can be clearly associated with the bit error. An interface arrangement can be inserted between a computer and a memory module. The interface arrangement contains data lines that are coupled to an apparatus which is designed to generate bit errors during a write or read operation.

A chip component (1) includes a semiconductor body (2), in which at least one switchable element (6, 62) is arranged in a partial region (24) of the semiconductor body (2). The partial region (24) can be reached by light of at least one wavelength. Furthermore, a circuit (9) integrated into the semiconductor body (2) is provided, which integrated circuit can assume one configuration from at least two possible configurations, one of these configurations being prescribed by a state of the at least one switchable element (6, 62). Furthermore, a housing (3) is provided, which encloses the semiconductor body (2) and is arranged with a partial region (35, 32) at least partly above the partial region (24) of the semiconductor body (2). The partial region (35, 32) of the housing (3) is formed in such a way that light can be fed to the partial region (24) of the semiconductor body (2). It is thus possible even after a fabrication process to carry out a test and, if appropriate, to define a different configuration through switching of the element (6, 62).

摘要:
A test arrangement with a test memory chip and a control device is provided, which has a first and a second interface. The test arrangement is connected to a memory slot of a computer system and is connected by its second interface to a memory module. Error correction data that are written to the error correction chip of the memory module by a memory controller of the computer system are stored in the test memory chip with the aid of the control device. In the case of an error event, it is ascertained whether the error occurred on the error correction chip. If this is the case, the memory controller compares the data stored in the error correction chip with the data of the auxiliary memory. The address of the error correction chip can be deduced from the address of the auxiliary memory, thereby enabling unambiguous addressing of a defective memory cell of the error correction chip.
