    Abstract: A stress detection circuit includes a function block and a detection signal generation circuit. The function block outputs a first voltage such that the first voltage is varied depending on an extent that the function block is stressed. The detection signal generation circuit generates a stress detection signal based on the first voltage and a second voltage during a test mode. The stress detection signal represents integration of the function block, and a level of the second voltage corresponds to a level of the first voltage before the function block is stressed.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device is provided. The semiconductor device applies data applied through a bump pad on which a bump is mounted through a test pad to a test apparatus such that the reliability of the test can be improved. The amount of test pads is significantly reduced by allowing data output through bump pads to be selectively applied to a test pad. Data and signals applied from test pads are synchronized with each other and applied to bump pads during a test operation such that the reliability of the test can be improved without the need of an additional test chip.

    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.

    Abstract: The invention provides an improved memory system that addresses signal degradation due to transmission line effects. The improved memory system includes a first buffer, at least one first memory device coupled to the first buffer, and a plurality of signal traces. The first buffer and memory device are mounted on a motherboard. Likewise, the plurality of signal traces is routed on the motherboard. Doing so eliminates stub loads that cause signal reflection that, in turn, result in signal degradation.
