    摘要: A method for reducing defect leakage current in a semiconductor memory device comprising a plurality of memory banks, each memory bank comprising a plurality of memory arrays and sense amplifier columns comprising a plurality of sense amplifiers, wherein there is a sense amplifier column positioned between and shared by memory arrays on opposites thereof. At least one bank-specific isolation control signal is independently generated for each of the plurality of memory banks depending on existence and location of an anomalous bitline leakage in a memory bank. The at least one bank-specific isolation control signal is supplied to at least one sense amplifier column in the corresponding memory bank to isolate at least one side to at least one memory array that is in an unselected state in a corresponding memory bank.

    摘要: The present invention includes a memory device with a data memory and an error correction code control circuit. The data memory stores data parity information for error correction. The error correction code control circuit is configured to receive a selection signal indicative of whether an error correction mode is to be used. Power to access the portion of the memory storing the parity information is disabled when the error correction mode is enabled.

    摘要: In a method or apparatus such as an integrated circuit (IC) chip including a plurality of circuits for executing a plurality of testmodes, a testmode entry code specifying one of the plurality of testmodes and one of an unrestricted private testmode category and a restricted public testmode category is received. Execution of only a public testmode of the plurality of testmodes is enabled when the testmode entry code specifies the restricted public testmode category. Execution of all of the plurality of testmodes is enabled when the testmode entry code specifies the unrestricted private testmode category.

    摘要: In a method of programming a magneto resistive memory cell, a first magnetic field is applied to the magneto resistive memory cell. It is determined whether the magneto resistive memory cell meets a programming criterion. In case that the magneto resistive memory cell does not meet the programming criterion, a second magnetic field, which is higher or lower than the first magnetic field, is applied to the magneto resistive memory cell. It is then determined whether the magneto resistive memory cell meets a programming criterion. The magnetic field is increased or decreased in case that the magneto resistive memory cell does not meet the programming criterion until the magneto resistive memory cell meets the programming criterion.
