    Abstract: A memory device includes a decoder that sets an operational control signal and a column select line signal at a first logical level simultaneously. In addition, a local sense amplifier has at least one switching device that is turned on by the operational control signal that is at the first logical level to couple at least one local I/O line to at least one global I/O line. Furthermore, signal lines, that are disposed to be parallel, transmit the operational control signal and the column select line signal from the decoder.

    Abstract: A frequency measuring circuit may include an edge detector, a charge pump, and an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter. The edge detector may be configured to generate an output pulse responsive to an edge of an input clock signal. The charge pump may be configured to generate an output signal responsive to the output pulse from the edge detector. The analog-to-digital (A/D) converter may be configured to convert the output signal into a digital value representing a frequency of the input clock signal. Related methods and integrated circuit memory devices are also discussed.

    Abstract: Self repairing integrated circuit memory devices include the plurality of normal memory cells, plurality of spare memory cells and a plurality of spare substituting circuits. A spare substituting circuit is responsive to a defective normal memory cell address which is programmed therein, to substitute at least one spare memory cell for at least one defective normal memory cell which is located at the defective normal memory cell address which is programmed therein. A sequential spare substituting circuit selector is connected to the spare substituting circuits and is responsive to a defect indication signal, to sequentially select a respective one of the spare circuits for programming with sequential ones of the defective normal memory cell addresses. An alarm signal is generated if all of the spare substituting circuits have been used. If a defect is present in at least two normal memory cells in different rows and the same column, a spare column is substituted rather than two spare rows. Also, if all rows substituting circuits have been programmed spare column substituting circuits are used. Defective addresses are programmed using electrically programmable fuses preferably polycrystalline silicon elongated fuses.

    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes a plurality of memory cell array blocks, a bit line sense amplifier, a local sense amplifier that can be controlled to be turned on or off, a data sense amplifier, and a controller. The controller activates a local sense control signal for a predetermined duration in response to first and second signals. The first signal is a bit line sense enable signal that activates the bit line sense amplifier, and the local sense amplifier is activated for a predetermined duration after the bit line sense enable signal is activated. The second signal is activated or deactivated in phase with a column selection line signal that connects a pair of bit lines and a pair of local input/output lines. Accordingly, it is possible to turn on or off the local sense amplifier according to operating conditions, thereby increasing a tRCD parameter and reducing the consumption of current. The operating speed of the semiconductor memory device can be improved by combining the local sense amplifier with a current type data sense amplifier that does not require precharging and equalization during a read operation.

    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes a plurality of banks. A data path may be divided into a read data path and a write data path, therefore, parallel processing of write and read commands are possible. The semiconductor memory device may include an address bank buffer, address buffer, column predecoder and/or a decoder. The semiconductor memory device may begin execution of a write command in a bank in one clock cycle and begin execution of a read command in the following clock cycle, therefore, bus efficiency is increased and/or write-to-read turn around time is reduced.
