摘要:
A semiconductor memory device that may correct error data using an error correction circuit is disclosed. The semiconductor memory device may include a DRAM cell array, a parity generator, a nonvolatile memory cell array and an error correction circuit. The parity generator is configured to generate a first set of parity bits having at least one bit based on input data. The nonvolatile memory cell array may store the input data and the first set of parity bits corresponding to the input data, and to output first data corresponding to the input data, and a second set of parity bits corresponding to the first set of parity bits. The error correction circuit is configured to generate second data as corrected data based on the first data.

Provided are a level shifter and a semiconductor device having an OFF-chip driver (OCD) using the same. The level shifter includes a plurality of series connected logic gates receiving a first-state input signal having a first power supply voltage level and generating a level-shifted first-state output signal having a second power supply voltage level. The logic gates receive as power supply voltages at least one intermediate power supply voltage having at least one voltage level intermediate between the first power supply voltage level and the second power supply voltage level, and an intermediate power supply voltage applied to the present logic gate is equal to or higher than an intermediate power supply voltage applied to the previous logic gate.

A semiconductor memory device capable of synchronous/asynchronous operation and data input/output method thereof are provided. The semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell array, a peripheral circuit configured to write data to a cell in the memory cell array and to read data from the cell, and a bypass control unit configured to control a late write operation and a bypass operation of the peripheral circuit according to mode conversion of the semiconductor memory device. Accordingly, data coherency can be maintained. In addition, dummy cycle time that may occur during the mode conversion can be prevented by generating a mode conversion signal only in response to toggling of a clock signal.
