A write driver circuit including a plurality of programmable fuses for a phase change memory device in which a write operation is correctly performed even in the case where a current output shift in a write current generation circuit; or in the case where a phase change memory cell has a phase change property shift due to an external factor or due a process change. The write driver circuit includes; a write current control unit for outputting a first or second level of voltage selected, by selecting one of a first or second programmable current path, based on whether a first or second selection pulse signal is applied; and a current driving unit for generating a write current controlled by the output voltage of the write current control unit. Each of the first and second programmable current paths includes fuses that can be programmed to adjusted their resistance to adjust the respective selected output voltage to compensate for a current output shift in a write current generation circuit or for a phase change memory cell has a phase change property shift.

A semiconductor memory device is provided to generate a series of pulse signals in response to the activation of an internal chip select signal from an internal chip select buffer when an external chip select signal transitions from an inactive state to an active state. With this configuration, a chip select output time (tco) is more reduced as compared to prior arts. Further, the chip select output time is reduced to be equal to an address access time (tAA) because a designer can control the chip select output time. As a result, the whole access time of the semiconductor memory device can be reduced.

A parallel test circuit for a semiconductor memory device includes multiple data input pads, multiple data input buffers respectively connected to the data input pads for receiving write data in response to a chip selection signal during normal operation, and a switching circuit for electrically connecting the data input pads to each other in response to a current leakage test signal applied to the circuit. The circuit enables the detection of leakage current in the input data buffers at the same time that a parallel data writing test is performed, thereby reducing the total time required to test the device.

A redundancy circuit for a semiconductor device comprises a circuit having variable impedance changed in accordance with a chip selecting signal. The variable impedance circuit has a low impedance when the chip selecting signal is at a low level and a high impedance when the chip selecting signal is at a high level. Therefore, when the device is in a standby state, no static current flows, and when the chip is in an active state current of less than several micro amperes flows. Thus, the power dissipation of the redundancy circuit can be reduced.
