    摘要: The invention relates to a wordline booster circuit, especially an SRAM-wordline booster circuit, comprising a driving element (20) for shifting a voltage level of a charge storage element (50) for storing a charge necessary to generate a boosted voltage (Vb), a feedback element (30) for controlling the switching state of a charging element (40), wherein the charging element (40) is actively switchable between a turned-off state during a first time interval and a turned-on state during a second time interval, and an output port (14) for supplying the boost voltage to at least one wordline-driver circuit (100) of a memory device (200). The invention relates also to an operation method for such a wordline booster circuit as well as a memory array implementation on an integrated circuit, especially an SRAM memory array, with a wordline booster circuit.

    摘要: A self test circuit provides a general statement about the condition of a coupled memory which indicates whether a wanted or unwanted manipulation or alteration of the memory has occurred. The contents of the memory are not derivable from the general statement. The general statement is preferably a "fail" or "pass" statement stating whether a deviation in the contents of the memory with respect to a last executed test has been detected or not. The testing of a non-volatile memory is executed by generating a signature from the contents of the non-volatile memory and comparing the generated signature with a reference value of the signature. When the comparison of the generated signature with the reference value indicates a different, a signal is issued and access to the non-volatile memory is restricted and/or a failure procedure is started. Access to the non-volatile memory is allowed when the comparison signature with the reference value indicates no difference. In order to allow a test of whether an alteration of the contents of the non-volatile memory has happened between successive authorized applications, a new signature from the contents of the non-volatile memory is generated after each application and stored as a new reference value.
