    摘要: A signal transmission apparatus may transmit and receive a differential signal using transmission lines. The apparatus may include a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter may transmit a mixed signal obtained by mixing the differential signal with a single ended signal. The receiver may restore the differential signal and the single ended signal from the mixed signal. An edge of the single ended signal may have a phase difference of about 90° with an edge of the differential signal. The signal transmission apparatus and method may transmit two signals through a single channel to reduce a circuit area.

    摘要: Integrated circuit memory devices include test mode control circuits to more efficiently route test data to a fewer number of output pins during test mode operation. The memory device may include first and second memory arrays having first and second pluralities of data lines electrically coupled thereto, respectively. First and second pluralities of latch units are also provided. The first plurality of latch units are electrically coupled together in series as a first pipelined latch unit and electrically coupled in parallel to the first memory array by the first plurality of data lines. The second plurality of latch units are electrically coupled together in series as a second pipelined latch unit and electrically coupled in parallel to the second memory array by the second plurality of data lines. A preferred test mode control circuit electrically couples an output of the first pipelined latch unit to an input of the second pipelined latch unit, in response to a test mode control signal (.phi.DAE). This test mode control circuit enables the transfer of data from the first pipelined latch unit to the second pipelined latch unit during direct access test mode reading operations. This data can then be transferred from the first pipelined latch unit to an output driver and then serially transmitted to a single input/output pin. Additional memory arrays within the memory device may also be linked together during test mode operation to improve testing efficiency when multiple memory devices are tested simultaneously in a memory testing apparatus.

    摘要: A reference voltage generating circuit has a divider circuit for decreasing a received external power-supply voltage and for providing the decreased voltage at a reference voltage output terminal. A PMOS transistor clamps the reference voltage at a predetermined voltage level, one end thereof being coupled to the reference voltage output terminal and the other end being coupled to a ground. A compensating unit adjusts the substrate voltage of the PMOS transistor to compensate for level variations of the reference voltage in response to the level variations. Thus, variations in the reference voltage caused by changes in processing variables are compensated, thereby maintaining the reference voltage at a predetermined level.
