Data input and output circuits that support multi data rate and a number of timing schemes. In one design, a data output circuit includes an input multiplexer, data latches, an output multiplexer, and at least one output driver. The input multiplexer receives a set of data bits in a first order (e.g., odd and even) and provides the data bits in a second order (e.g., first and second). The data latches can latch the data bits with (1) a latch signal to satisfy memory access timing requirements and (2) a data write clock signal to satisfy output timing requirements. The output multiplexer multiplexes the latched data bits to provide time multiplexed data bits. The output driver(s) provide signal drive for the time multiplexed data bits. Clock signals with various timing characteristics can be used to allow the data output circuit to satisfy various timing requirements.

A memory device requires a minimum of two input/output lines from an external testing device to be coupled thereto. A first DQ line from the memory device provides a direct data path from the array so that the external tester can read data from the array at the maximum speed of the memory device. Test mode circuitry for multiplexing and comparing multiple DQ lines during address compression mode is coupled to two or more DQ lines, including the first DQ line. The compression mode testing circuitry can include on-chip comparators that compare the data simultaneously written to, and read from, the memory device. The comparison circuitry outputs a data test flag indicating whether or not the data read from the memory device matches. The test flag is output through a multiplexer to a second DQ line. As a result, the speed of the device can be tested from the first DQ line, while the results of on-chip comparison can be sampled at the second DQ line. The compare circuitry compares not only bits of a given data word, but also at least one bit from another data word. Therefore, rather than employing two compare circuits that compare first and second data words, and a third compare circuit that compares the results of the first two compare circuits, the present invention avoids the need for the third compare circuit by comparing the first data word in a first compare circuit with at least one bit from the second data word.

An integrated device includes a configuration circuit that is coupled to first and second bond pads and first and second conductive paths of the integrated device. The circuit receives a map signal that has a first value during a first operational mode of the integrated device and a second value during a second operational mode of the integrated device. In response to the first value, the circuit couples the first pad to the second conductive path. In response to the second value, the circuit couples the first pad to the first conductive path and the second pad to the second conductive path. The first operational mode may be a wafer test mode.

A memory array architecture (which can be used to implement a memory device and other circuits having an embedded memory array) supports multi-data rate operation. The memory device includes at least one memory array and at least one sense amplifier arrays. Each memory array is partitioned into a number of substantially similar segments. Each segment is associated with at least one local I/O lines. Each local I/O line has a length that is a portion of a length of the memory array. By partitioning the memory array, the supporting circuitry (e.g., the sense amplifier array), and the local I/O lines into segments, access of multiple data bits can be achieved without having to incur a significant "die penalty."

Methods and circuits for triggering column select line for write operations in a multiple data rate (e.g., a double data rate) operation. A memory device includes a memory array that stores data values, an address logic circuit that generates an address for the memory array, and a column decoder. The column decoder couples to the address logic circuit and the memory array. The column decoder receives either a data strobe input signal (DQS) or a clock signal (CLK), or both, and activates a column select line for the memory array in response to one of the input signal(s).

A voltage booting circuit for booting the switching signal applied to a column access passgate is employed to reduce the voltage drop across the passgate. Reduction of the voltage dropped across the passgate results in faster read and write times and improved noise margin. In one application the booted voltage is used only during a write operation, but not during a read. In another application, the booted voltage is used during both operations.

A synchronous random access memory, such as a synchronous dynamic random access memory or a synchronous graphic random access memory, is responsive to command signals and includes multiple bank memory arrays. A command decoder/controller responds to command signals to initiate, in a first system clock cycle, an auto-refresh command controlling an auto refresh operation to a specified one of the multiple bank memory arrays.

Provided is a display panel, which includes an active area and a vacant area surrounding the active area, and a dummy pattern area without display functionality being along a boundary between the active area and the vacant area. Also provided are a manufacturing method of a display panel and a panel display device. A dummy pattern area is provided along a boundary of an active area to withstand a loading effect and to ensure the active area is not affected by the loading effect and display patterns are normal and uniform.
