    摘要: The semiconductor memory device has a formal mode and a test mode as operating modes. The program circuit includes a fuse element in which an address using a spare memory cell instead of a defective memory cell is programmed. The program circuit confirms a disconnection state of a fuse in a condition severer in the test mode than that in the normal mode. An anomaly is notified to outside by a detection circuit in a case where results are different between the test mode and the normal mode. In a case where a fuse is not completely blown, such a fuse can also be detected in the test mode to exclude a defective chip.

    摘要: When an inputted column address CA and a defect address are compared with each other, an preset defect address and a defect conversion address obtained by inverse conversion of the defect address are both inputted to a comparison circuit. In the comparison circuit, coincidence determination operations are performed being switched between when address conversion is applied to the column address CA and when no address conversion is applied thereto, thereby coincidence comparison can be effected without using the column address CA after an address conversion operation; therefore, a delay in a determination operation accompanying a conversion operation is canceled to perform high speed data reading.

    摘要: Data indicating whether a short-circuit defect exists in a memory block is programmed a fuse program circuit. In accordance with the fuse program data and a mode instruction signal, the correspondence relationship between a block select signal and a corresponding bit line isolation instruction signal is switched by a circuit that generates the bit line isolation instruction signal in a specific mode. It becomes possible to isolate the memory block in which a leakage current path exists from a corresponding sense amplifier band in a specific operation mode. Current consumption at least at a standby state is reduced.

    摘要: A semiconductor memory device includes a pair of complementary data buses, capacitive element corresponding to an even-numbered address, an equalize circuit and amplifier, capacitive element corresponding to an odd-numbered address, and an equalize circuit and amplifier. The pair of complementary data buses continuously transfer even-numbered address data and odd-numbered address data read out from the memory cell array in an alternating manner. The equalize circuit corresponding to the odd-numbered address is operated when the amplifier corresponding to the even-numbered address operates whereas the equalize circuit corresponding to the even-numbered address is operated when the amplifier corresponding to the odd-numbered address operates.

    摘要: The internal power-supply potential generating circuit includes a reference potential generating circuit having small dependency on an external power-supply potential and on a temperature, an MOS transistor for pull up, a level shifter producing a potential lower than a reference potential by a prescribed voltage to a first node and producing a potential lower than an internal power-supply potential by a voltage of the sum of the prescribed potential and an offset potential to a second node, and a differential amplifier bringing an MOS transistor out of conduction in response to the potential of the second node reaching the potential of the first node. Thus, the reference potential may be set lower by the offset voltage, allowing stable reference potential and internal power-supply potential to be obtained even if the external power-supply potential is lowered.

    摘要: A control circuit & mode register outputs a signal responsive to each command to a VDC control circuit. The VDC control circuit outputs a signal PWRUP changing the quantity of a through current Ic of a comparator stored in a VDC in response to the command. The VDC control circuit internally generates a signal of which pulse width corresponds to a prescribed delay time, in response to input of the command. Therefore, activation of each bank may not be monitored but current consumption can be reduced by preferably controlling a power supply current while minimizing the number of delay circuits and wires.
