    摘要: Provided is memory which is capable of dynamically changing memory cell bit reliability and of switching the operating mode so as to accommodate process variations, thereby reducing the operating voltage. The memory is provided with a mode control line selection circuit for dividing mode control lines in to word units and using control line selection signals and global control signals to control the mode control lines divided into word units, and a word line selection circuit for dividing the word lines that control the conduction of switching unit into word units and using word line selection signals and global word signals to control the word lines divided into word units. The mode control line switching circuit is used to switch between a 1 bit/1 cell mode and a 1 bit/n cell mode in word units.

    摘要: A memory wherein the bit reliability of the memory cells can be dynamically varied depending on the application or the memory status, the operation stability is ensured, and thereby a low power consumption and a high reliability are realized. Either a mode (a 1-bit/1-cell mode) in which one bit is composed of one memory cell or a mode (a 1-bit/n-cell mode) in which one bit is composed of n (n is two or more) connected memory cells is dynamically selected. When the 1-bit/n-cell mode is selected, the read/write stability of one bit is enhanced, the cell current during read is increased (read is speeded up), and a bit error, if occurs, is self-corrected. Especially, a pair of CMOS transistors and a control line for performing control so as to permit the CMOS transistors to conduct are added between the data holding nodes of n adjacent memory cells. With this, the word line (WL) is controlled, and thereby the operation stability is further improved.
