A memory system (1A) includes a memory section (2A) and a memory control section (3A). The memory section (2A) includes a test circuit (4A), a data register (5A), a data output section (6A), and a memory core section (9A). Data DI is held in the data resistor (5A). The test circuit (4A) outputs write inhibit signal WINH to the memory core section (9A) in response to test signal TEST. Write instruction recognition signal WR which recognizes that a write command is inputted into the memory section (2A) and select signal S are inverted and, in response thereto, retained data DR of the data register (5A) is outputted as output data DO from the data output section (6A). Thus, it is possible to test whether generation, propagation, or recognition operation of a write command CMD and the data DI is normal or not without executing the operation of writing data into a memory cell of the memory section.

It is an object to provide a semiconductor memory device that can conduct the equalizing operation of bit lines with a low current consumption while maintaining a normal accessing speed and the chip area, and a control method thereof. In a semiconductor memory device of the shared sense amplification system, in a predetermined number of times which is (k−1) times or less among k-times of continuous word line selections of a selected memory block, the bit line separation gate of the unselected memory block is rendered conductive in the active period of the equalizing unit after the word line selection. Also, a circuit that equalizes a wiring higher in the capacity component is driven by a higher voltage level according to the wiring capacity component of the sense amplification power supply line and the bit lines, to thereby equalize the power supply line and the bit line in the equal time, thereby being capable of preventing the short-circuiting within the sense amplifier.

A semiconductor memory device, in which a cell plate potential does not fluctuate even when the device state is changed from a state without stored charge in all charge storage nodes of the cell capacitors at power-on to an access operation state, comprises NMOS transistors M1 to Mk for connecting a line VPR as a feeder for a reference voltage VPR from a reference voltage generation circuit with a line VCP as a feeder for a reference voltage VCP from the reference voltage generation circuit in each of cell blocks B1 to Bk.

By providing the NMOS transistors M1 to Mk for short-circuiting the line VPR with the line VCP in each of the cell blocks B1 to Bk, both lines are short-circuited in each of the cell blocks B1 to Bk.

A semiconductor electronic part, having a lot of bumps allocated in a checkered pattern, is solder-mounted on a multilayer circuit board. In the multilayer circuit board, a first wiring pattern linked with a first land is finer than a second wiring pattern linked with a second land. Only one first wiring pattern is passable between lands. The second lands are allocated in the outmost line on the uppermost layer of the multilayer circuit board. In the semiconductor electronic part, bumps connectable with the second lands are allocated in the outermost line.

摘要:
A refresh method for a semiconductor memory device features high noise resistance, lower power consumption, and lower cost. All word lines of one or more memory cell blocks that have not been selected in a self refresh mode are controlled to have a floating potential substantially at ground level. Even when a word line and a bit line are short-circuited, this control prevents destruction of memory cell information, which may be caused by noise, and also prevents generation of leakage current. A fuse, etc., for preventing generation of leakage current is unnecessary, so that lower cost is realized.
