    摘要: A semiconductor device includes two or more memory chips electrically coupled. Each of the memory chips includes global lines, a MUX unit, a selection unit, and an output unit. The global lines transmit data stored in memory cells. The MUX unit receives the data loaded onto the global lines to output a test data. The selection unit is inserted into two or more of the global lines and configured to output the test data instead of the data loaded onto the two or more global lines, in a test mode. The output unit is coupled to the global lines and is configured to output the data in a normal mode, and output the test data received from any one of the two or more global lines connected to the selection unit to an I/O pad based on information about the memory chip in a test mode.

    摘要: A memory system includes a memory controller configured to replace a memory block including a failed memory cell with a unit cache block of a cache memory in response to detection of the failed memory cell in the memory block. The unit cache block is smaller than a minimum size of a memory cell array capable of being blocked by an operating system, and the unit cache block has substantially the same storage capacity as the memory block.

A first control terminal, which is formed by a gate of the first transistor being connected to another terminal of the capacitor element, is connected to a wordline, which extends in the row direction. A second control terminal, which is formed of a gate of the second transistor terminal, is connected to a write control line, which extends in the column direction. The storage node is connected to a gate of a third transistor, and a current flowing between a drain and a source of the third transistor is controlled according to a voltage level of the storage node.

    摘要: While the supply of power is stopped, a data signal that has been held in a volatile memory section can be held in a nonvolatile memory section. In the nonvolatile memory section, a transistor having an extremely low off-state current allows a data signal to be held in the capacitor for a long period of time. Thus, the nonvolatile memory section can hold the logic state even while the supply of power is stopped. When the supply of power is started again, the data signal that has been held in the capacitor while the supply of power has been stopped is set at such a potential that malfunction does not occur by turning on the reset circuit.
