    Abstract: Integrated circuit memory devices that utilize preferred masking techniques include a memory cell array and a mask signal generator that generates first and second internal data masking signals in response to at least one single data rate mode signal. A data controller is also provided to pass input write data to the memory cell array when the first and second internal data masking signals are inactive and mask at least a portion of the input write data from the memory cell array when one of the first and second internal data masking signals is active. This ability to mask data facilitates operation of the memory device in a specialized single data rate mode for testing using conventional test equipment.

    Abstract: A phase locked delay circuit which reduces the layout area of a semiconductor device includes a delay buffer, a main delay portion, a delay line, means for detecting phase synchronization, a switching unit, a clock driver, and a flag signal generator. The delay buffer receives an external system clock signal, delays the received signal for a predetermined first delay time, and buffers the delayed signal. The main delay portion delays the output of the delay buffer for a predetermined second delay time in response to a flag signal, or bypasses the output of the delay buffer. The delay line sequentially delays the output of the main delay portion for a unit time. The phase synchronization detecting means detects a third delay time required for synchronizing the output of the main delay portion with the output of the delay buffer in response to the flag signal, using the output of the delay line, and activates a corresponding enable signal. The flag signal generator activates the flag signal only when the phase synchronization detecting means detects the third delay time. The switching unit is controlled by enable signals and switches a corresponding signal among signals output by the delay line. The clock driver delays the output of the switching for a fourth delay time and outputs the delayed signal as an internal clock signal.

    Abstract: A memory device identifies memory blocks that contain substandard memory cells. The memory device then determines row address codes to apply to the memory blocks during refresh operations. The row address codes determine which memory blocks of the memory block are refreshed together. The row address codes are designed to ensure that memory blocks having substandard memory cells, which must be refreshed more frequently than other cells, are refreshed together, while memory blocks without substandard memory cells are refreshed together.
