    摘要: In the normal mode, a first voltage-down converter down-converts an external power supply voltage to provide a large, first internal power supply voltage to the peripheral circuitry via a first internal power supply voltage supplying line, and a second voltage-down converter down-converts the external power supply voltage to provide a smaller, second internal power supply voltage to a memory cell array via a second internal power supply voltage supplying line. This allows fast operation and reduction in power consumption. In conducting a burn-in test, an external power supply voltage supplying line is connected to the first and second internal power supply voltage supplying lines. Thus, the first and second internal power supply voltage supplying lines directly receive the external power supply voltage. This allows an effective burn-in test. In a burn-in test, the first and second voltage-down converters are inactivated.

    摘要: In a semiconductor integrated circuit device, a voltage setting circuit for setting a voltage level on the sub power source voltage line according to a reference voltage from a reference voltage generating circuit, is provided between a main power source voltage line and a sub power source voltage line. While a current consumption at the standby cycle is reduced, increase of the access delay is prevented. The voltage setting circuit includes a differential amplifier for differentially amplifying a voltage on the sub power source line and the reference voltages and a transistor responsive to an output of the differential amplifier for causing a current flow between the main and sub power source lines, or alternatively a diode-connected insulated gate type transistor receiving the reference voltage at a back gate thereof.

    摘要: A current source is provided between a first p channel MOS transistor and a ground node, and a current/voltage converting element is provided isolatedly from the current source between the ground node and a second p channel MOS transistor having a conductance coefficient sufficiently larger than that of the first MOS transistor. The second MOS transistor is connected through a resistive element to an external power supply node. A voltage produced by the current/voltage converting element is converted into current by a voltage/current converting portion. Thus, constant current free from both vibration and a deadlock phenomenon and with small external power supply voltage dependency is supplied.

    摘要: A refresh circuit performs directive operation for the execution of refresh operation in response to a cycle signal cyclically output from a timer circuit provided in a command-signal activating circuit. To execute testing, a stop signal generated in response to an external signal is activated, the activated stop signal is input to an AND gate, and the cycle signal is thereby invalidated. This causes the refresh operation to terminate, thereby enabling this semiconductor memory device to refresh characteristic testing to be performed.

    摘要: Current is reduced in driving a word line in stress acceleration testing such as burn-in, and the time required for the stress acceleration testing is reduced. For an address signal applied from an address buffer, a predetermined internal address signal bit is degenerated and a remaining address signal bit is rendered valid in response to an activation of a stress acceleration mode designation signal to simultaneously drive a desired number of word lines of all word lines to selected state. Any number of word lines can be simultaneously selected and hence current flowing in driving word lines can be reduced in the stress acceleration mode. In the stress acceleration mode of operation, bit line voltage and cell plate voltage are changed, and a current required for driving a plurality of word lines into a selected state is limited.

    摘要: The level shifter circuit of an internal down converter includes a P channel MOS transistor constituting a resistance component, and a resistor constituting a resistance component. The temperature coefficient of resistance component is set larger than the temperature coefficient of resistance component so that the output voltage of level shifter circuit has a negative temperature characteristic. If a reference voltage generated by reference voltage generation circuit decreases when operating at a high temperature, the output voltage of level shifter circuit decreases as well. Thus, change in an internal voltage due to change in the operation temperature can be compensated.
