    摘要: A memory module is provided with switch groups (SD0a to SD7a) in corresponding relation to data lines (DQ0 to DQ63) connected to memory devices (MD0 to MD7). The switch groups (SD0a to SD7a) connect all of the data lines (DQ0 to DQ63) to a portion external to the memory module (MMa) in a memory operation, and connect all of the data lines (DQ0 to DQ63) to inputs of an exclusive NOR circuit (EXa) after common 1-bit data is written into the memory devices (MD0 to MD7) in a testing operation. A malfunction of the memory devices (MD0 to MD7) is detected using an output signal (TMSa) from the exclusive NOR circuit (EXa). The memory module is accomplished which allows an inexpensive tester to conduct an electrical assembly check and a simple data write and read operation test upon the memory devices, which includes a small number of I/O pins for the check and test, and which does not deteriorate data input/output characteristics of the memory devices.

    摘要: A memory cell array of a dynamic semiconductor memory device is divided into a plurality of memory cell blocks. A block selecting circuit selects and refreshes larger number of memory cell blocks in refreshing mode than the number of those selected during normal mode. Sense amplifiers in the memory cell blocks selected by the block selecting circuit are selectively driven with smaller driving force in refreshing mode than that in normal mode. More preferably the driving force is changed during the amplifying operation so as to achieve both the high sensitivity and the suppression of the peak value of the operational current.

    摘要: In a test mode, bit information of the same logic is written into a corresponding memory cell of each of subarray 5a-5d. Bit information written in respective memory cells is simultaneously read and supplied to exclusive-OR gates 12a-12d. Each of exclusive-OR gates logics of read bit information and an expected value data supplied as an input to an external input pin D.sub.IN to supply the test determination result as an output. The outputs of respective exclusive-OR gates 12a-12d are serially supplied, through transistors 18a-18d which are sequentially and selectively turned on by a shift register 15, to an external output pin D.sub.OUT.

    摘要: A semiconductor memory device comprises a plurality or CAM cells. In a refreshing operation, data of "1" is applied to all of bit lines and inversion bit lines. In the CAM cells storing the data "1", writing of the data "1" onto the bit lines and the inversion bit lines is performed. Then, the data of "0" is applied to all of the bit lines and the inversion bit lines. In the CAM cells storing the data "0", writing of the data "0" onto the bit lines and the inversion bit lines is performed. In a partial writing operation, in the CAM cells to which writing is performed, a first control node is activated, thereby making it possible to write the CAM cells. In the rest of the CAM cells, the first control node is inactivated, thereby making it impossible to write the CAM cells.

    摘要: A variable impedance power supply line and a variable impedance ground line supplying voltages VCL1 and VSL1, respectively, are set to a low impedance state in a stand-by cycle and in a row related signal set period, and to a high impedance state in a column circuitry valid time period. Variable impedance power supply line and variable impedance ground line supplying voltages VCL2 and VSL2, respectively, are set to a high impedance state in the stand-by cycle, and low impedance state in the active cycle and in the row related signal reset time period. Inverters operate as operating power supply voltage of voltages VCL1 and VSL2 or voltages VCL2 and VSL1, in accordance with a logic level of an output signal in the stand-by cycle and in the active cycle. Thus a semiconductor memory device is provided in which subthreshold current in the stand-by cycle and active DC current in the active cycle can be reduced.

    摘要: Subbanks are arranged in four regions of a DRAM macro having a rectangular shape, bank control circuits are arranged in a prescribed region between these subbanks, and internal read/write data buses are arranged in a region different from the region where the bank control circuits are arranged. Since there is no crossing of the bank control circuits and the internal read/write data buses, the bank control circuits can be efficiently arranged to reduce the layout area. Accordingly, a semiconductor integrated circuit device including multi-bank memories which operates stably at high speed can be provided without increase of an area occupied by a chip.

    摘要: In a semiconductor device and a method of manufacturing the same, an isolating and insulating film is provided at an end neighboring to a second impurity region with a groove extended to a semiconductor substrate. This removes a crystal defect existed at the end of the isolating and insulating film, and thus prevents leak of a current at this portion from a storage node. Consequently, provision of the groove at the edge portion of the isolating oxide film neighboring to the impurity region removes a crystal defect at this region, and thus eliminates a possibility of leak of a current.
