    摘要: A counter comprised of two flip flops and a multiplexer produces a sequential or interleaved address sequence. The addresses produced are used to access memory elements in a Burst Extended Data Output Dynamic Random Access Memory (Burst EDO or BEDO DRAM). Input addresses in combination with a sequence select signal are logically combined to produce a multiplexer select input which selects between true and compliment outputs of a first flip flop to couple to an input of a second flip flop to specify a toggle condition for the second flip flop. Outputs of the counter are compared with outputs of an input address latch to detect the end of a burst sequence and initialize the device for another burst access. A transition of the Read/Write control line during a burst access will terminate the burst access and initialize the device for another burst access.

    摘要: An integrated circuit memory device is designed for high speed data access and for compatibility with existing memory systems. An address strobe signal is used to latch a first address. During a burst access cycle the address is incremented internal to the device with additional address strobe transitions. A new memory address is only required at the beginning of each burst access. Read/Write commands are issued once per burst access eliminating the need to toggle the Read/Write control line at the device cycle frequency. Transitions of the Read/Write control line during a burst access will terminate the burst access, reset the burst length counter and initialize the device for another burst access. The device is compatible with existing Extended Data Out DRAM device pinouts, Fast Page Mode and Extended Data Out Single In-Line Memory Module pinouts, and other memory circuit designs.

    摘要: In an integrated circuit having addressable primary elements and redundant elements which can be programmed to replace primary elements, a circuit and method are provided for cancelling and replacing redundant elements. A circuit is described which can be used in a memory such as a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) which uses a selectively blowable anti-fuse to disable a redundant element which was previously programmed to replace a defective primary element. The disclosure describes a method for permanently cancelling the defective redundant element and replacing the defective redundant element with another redundant element.

    摘要: A semiconductor dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) device embodying numerous features that collectively and/or individually prove beneficial and advantageous with regard to such considerations as density, power consumption, speed, and redundancy is disclosed. The device is a 64 Mbit DRAM comprising eight substantially identical 8 Mbit partial array blocks (PABs), each pair of PABs comprising a 16 Mbit quadrant of the device. Between the top two quadrants and between the bottom two quadrants are column blocks containing I/O read/write circuitry, column redundancy fuses, and column decode circuitry. Column select lines originate from the column blocks and extend right and left across the width of each quadrant. Each PAB comprises eight substantially identical 1 Mbit sub-array blocks (SABs). Associated with each SAB are a plurality of local row decoder circuits functioning to receive partially decoded row addresses from a column predecoder circuit and generating local row addresses supplied to the SAB with which they are associated. Various pre- and/or post-packaging options are provided for enabling a large degree of versatility, redundancy, and economy of design. Programmable options of the disclosed device are programmable by means of both laser fuses and electrical fuses. In the RAS chain, circuitry is provided for simulating the RC time constant behavior of word lines and digit lines during memory accesses, such that memory access cycle time can be optimized. Test data compression circuitry optimizes the process of testing each cell in the array. On-chip topology circuitry simplifies the testing of the device.

    摘要: An integrated circuit memory device has multiple subarray partitions which can be independently isolated from the remaining circuitry on the integrated circuit. Subarrays of the integrated circuit can be independently tested. Should a subarray of the integrated circuit be found inoperable it is electrically isolated from the remaining circuitry on the integrated circuit so that it cannot interfere with the normal operation of the remaining circuitry. Defects such as power to ground shorts in a subarray which would have previously been catastrophic can be electrically isolated allowing the remaining functional subarrays to be utilized. Integrated circuit repair by isolation of inoperative elements eliminates the current draw and other performance degradations that have previously been associated with integrated circuits with defects repaired through the incorporation of redundant elements alone.
