    摘要: A data transfer method and system are provided that prevent the length of a time required for writing to a flash memory from appearing on the surface as a system operation when the flash memory is used in place of an SRAM. The method of transferring data includes the steps of writing data from a controller to a volatile memory, placing the volatile memory in a transfer state, transferring the data from the volatile memory in the transfer state to a nonvolatile memory, and releasing the volatile memory from the transfer state in response to confirming completion of the transfer of the data.

    摘要: A burn-in test, including first to sixth steps where voltages are applied for the same lengths of time in each step, is applied to a semiconductor memory having alternately arranged bit line pairs with twist structure where the bit lines cross each other and bit line pairs with non-twist structure where the bit lines are parallel to each other. Since lengths of time in which a stress is applied for all bit lines can be equally set, no deviation occurs in lengths of time where stress is applied between the bit lines. Characteristics of memory cells can be prevented from excessively deteriorating from the burn-in test. Further, the number of bit lines not having stress applied can be minimized in the first to sixth steps. Accordingly, the ratio of the bit lines having stress applied can be increased, which reduces the burn-in test time. Thus, test cost can be reduced.

    摘要: An internal voltage generator when activated, generates an internal voltage to be supplied to an internal circuit. Operating the internal voltage generator consumes a predetermined amount of the power. In response to a control signal from the exterior, an entry circuit inactivates the internal voltage generator. When the internal voltage generator is inactivated, the internal voltage is not generated, thereby reducing the power consumption. By the control signal from the exterior, therefore, a chip can easily enter a low power consumption mode. The internal voltage generator is exemplified by a booster for generating the boost voltage of a word line connected with memory cells, a substrate voltage generator for generating a substrate voltage, or a precharging voltage generator for generating the precharging voltage of bit lines to be connected with the memory cells.

    摘要: A method for controlling a semiconductor memory in which mode register can be set in burst mode. To set an operation mode in burst mode, the semiconductor memory is changed first from the burst mode, through power-down mode, to standby mode of non-burst mode. Then the semiconductor memory is changed to mode register set mode to set the mode register when commands are input in the same predetermined sequence that is used in the non-burst mode.
