    摘要: In a semiconductor memory device 100, a non-volatile element section 4 stores information necessary for rescuing a main memory cell, as storage information, in a non-volatile element. When rescue information S3 is newly outputted by a redundancy rescue section, a rescue determination section 5 determines whether or not a main memory cell is to be rescued, based on storage information S4 stored in the non-volatile element section 4, and the rescue information S3 which is newly outputted. The non-volatile element section 4 renews the storage information based on a determination result from the rescue determination section 5. Thus, on the assumption that power is turned off each time a voltage condition is changed, the semiconductor memory device 100 is capable of determining whether or not the rescue is to be performed, based on results of testings performed under a plurality of voltage conditions.

    摘要: A control system for controlling a cache tag memory has an address conversion device which includes an associative storage for storing logical addresses, a random access memory for storing physical addresses, and a hit-signal generating circuit for generating a hit signal, a word selecting signal and at least one control signal. The hit signal indicates that a hit has occurred between a logical address stored in the associative storage and an input logical address. The address conversion device controls the reading operation of a tag address stored in the cache tag memory by using the control signal generated by the hit-signal generating circuit in synchronization with a word selecting signal used in the reading operation of a physical address stored in the random access memory such that the physical address and the tag address are read at substantially the same time. Further, this address conversion device controls a reading operation of the data stored in the cache memory by reading the physical address and the tag address at substantially the same time and by using a second control signal generated by the hit-signal generating circuit in synchronization with the word selecting signal. Moreover, the address conversion device controls the reading of data from the cache memory and the production of a cache hit signal, which is generated when the physical address matches the logical address. Accordingly, a high-performance system is achieved.

    摘要: In a semiconductor memory device 100, a non-volatile element section 4 stores information necessary for rescuing a main memory cell, as storage information, in a non-volatile element. When rescue information S3 is newly outputted by a redundancy rescue section, a rescue determination section 5 determines whether or not a main memory cell is to be rescued, based on storage information S4 stored in the non-volatile element section 4, and the rescue information S3 which is newly outputted. The non-volatile element section 4 renews the storage information based on a determination result from the rescue determination section 5. Thus, on the assumption that power is turned off each time a voltage condition is changed, the semiconductor memory device 100 is capable of determining whether or not the rescue is to be performed, based on results of testings performed under a plurality of voltage conditions.
