    摘要: An active power supply voltage boosting circuit for a semiconductor memory device according to the present invention causes operation of the active cycle boosted voltage generating circuit to elevate the level of the boosted power supply voltage V.sub.PP when the detected level of the boosted power supply voltage V.sub.PP is lower than a target voltage level. Thus, the boosted power supply voltage V.sub.PP can be stably maintained to the target voltage level. When the boosted power supply voltage V.sub.PP becomes higher than the target voltage level, generation of the boosted power supply voltage V.sub.PP is stopped, and as a result, unwanted consumption of the electrical current and also the damage to the semiconductor memory device by high voltage can be prevented.

    摘要: A defective cell repairing circuit for repairing a defective cell in a packaged semiconductor memory device enables repair mode operations for mapping an address of a detected defective cell to a redundant cell. The address of the defective cell is programmed by selectively cutting fuses corresponding to each bit of the defective cell address. The defective cell address programming operation uses input terminals on the packaged semiconductor memory device which are used for address signals in a normal operation mode, so that no additional pins are required. Repair mode operations are prevented after the repair mode is completed. Thereafter, an external address supplied to the semiconductor memory device is compared with the programmed defective cell address determined by the state of the fuses, and a redundant cell is selected if the two addresses correspond.
