    摘要: A semiconductor memory test mode configuration includes a first capacitor for storing digital data. The first capacitor connects a cell plate line to a first bit line through a first select transistor which is activated through a connection to a word line. A second capacitor for storing digital data connects the cell plate line to a second bit line through a second select transistor which is also activated through a connection to the word line. A sense amplifier is connected to the first and second bit lines for measuring a differential read signal on the first and second bit lines. A constant current mover, for example a constant current sink or source, is connected to the first bit line through a third transistor for changing the amount of charge on the first bit line when the third transistor is turned on to reduce the differential read signal.

A second capacitor stores digital data and connects the cell plate line to a second bit line through a second select transistor. The second select transistor is activated through a connection to the word line. A sense amplifier is connected to the first and second bit lines for measuring a differential read signal on the first and second bit lines A resistor is connected to one or both of the bit lines through transistors for adding or reducing the amount of charge on the first bit line when the third transistor is turned on to reduce the differential read signal.

    摘要: Memory reliability is improved by using redundancy to repair errors detected by ECC. In one embodiment, redundancy repairs errors which cannot be corrected by ECC. The redundancy can employ the use of electronic fuses, enabling repairs after an IC containing the memory is packaged. Redundancy can also be performed prior to packaging of the IC.

    摘要: An IC with a memory array having a series architecture is disclosed. A memory cell of a series group comprises a transistor coupled to a capacitor in parallel. The capacitor includes first and second subcapacitors, one stacked one on top of the other. Providing a capacitor with two or more subcapacitors in a stack advantageously increases the capacitance of a capacitor without increasing surface area.

    摘要: A semiconductor memory comprises a first capacitor for storing digital data connecting a cell plate line to a first bit-line through a first select transistor. The first select transistor is activated through a connection to a word line. At least one reference capacitor provides a reference voltage to a reference bit-line. A sense amplifier connected to the first and reference bit-lines measures a differential read signal on the first and reference bit-lines. A toggle flip flop alternately changes the polarization of charge stored on the reference capacitors.

    摘要: A memory cell signal window testing apparatus 101 and method for testing the signal window of a memory are disclosed. First data is written to a memory cell during a write cycle. A low cell signal is read from the memory cell during a first read cycle. A comparison is made between the low signal and a low reference signal. The result of the comparison is stored in a first storage register. Second data is then written to the memory cell during a write cycle. A high cell signal is read from the memory cell during a second read cycle. A comparison is made between the high cell signal and a high reference signal. The result of the comparison is stored in a second storage register. The results in the first and second storage registers are compared and an output is provided indicating that the memory cell has failed the test if the comparison shows that both the low cell signal is higher than the low reference signal and the high cell signal is lower than the high reference signal.

    摘要: A FeRAM memory chip comprises an array 5 of non-volatile ferrocapacitor memory cells for storing data. Input pins receive data to be stored, and address data indicating where in the array of memory cells the data should be stored. The FeRAM memory chip further has a reset unit 7 for recognizing an externally applied reset signal. The reset unit 7, upon recognition of the reset signal, initiates a reset operation in which at least a portion of the data stored in the memory cells is set to predetermined values.
