摘要： In a method or apparatus such as an integrated circuit (IC) chip including a plurality of circuits for executing a plurality of testmodes, a testmode entry code specifying one of the plurality of testmodes and one of an unrestricted private testmode category and a restricted public testmode category is received. Execution of only a public testmode of the plurality of testmodes is enabled when the testmode entry code specifies the restricted public testmode category. Execution of all of the plurality of testmodes is enabled when the testmode entry code specifies the unrestricted private testmode category.

摘要： A memory device includes a memory array containing a plurality of memory addresses. An input terminal receives a requested one of the memory addresses and a memory controller is configured to refresh a first refresh address in response to a comparison of the received memory address and the first refresh address. In certain embodiments, the first refresh address is refreshed if it does not conflict with the received memory. If the first refresh address and the received memory address conflict, a second refresh address is refreshed. The received memory address is accessed simultaneously with the refresh in exemplary embodiments.

摘要： An integrated circuit device including a plurality of MOSFETs of similar type and geometry is formed on a substrate with an ohmic contact, and an adjustable voltage source on the die utilizing clearable fuses is coupled between the ohmic contact and the sources of the MOSFETs. After die processing, a post-processing test is performed to measure an operating characteristic of the die such as leakage current or switching speed, and an external voltage source is applied and adjusted to control the operating characteristic. The on-die fuses are then cleared to adjust the on-die voltage source to match the externally applied voltage. The operating characteristic may be determined by including a test circuit on the die to exhibit the operating characteristic such as a ring oscillator frequency. This approach to controlling manufacturing-induced device performance variations is well suited to efficient manufacture of small feature-size circuits such as DRAMs.

摘要： A clock filter for use in filtering an external clock signal to create an internal clock signal for use by an electronic device is provided. The clock filter receives the external clock signal and sets the internal clock signal high when the external clock signal is above a first threshold and sets the internal clock signal low when the external clock signal is below a second threshold. The clock filter holds the internal clock signal constant for a period of time after the clock transitions.

摘要： A memory system includes wordlines and pairs of complementary bitlines that provide access to memory storage elements. Capacitive and resistive loads associated with wordlines and bitlines are driven relatively slowly between voltage levels to reduce peak current, and thus power dissipation. Power dissipation is further reduced by charging complementary bitlines at substantially different rates.
