    摘要: A semiconductor memory includes a circuit block that is configured to receive a test mode command, a first sense amplifier that is coupled to sense and amplify a state of a first memory cell when enabled, and a second sense amplifier that is coupled to sense and amplify a state of a second memory cell when enabled. In an active cycle, the circuit block generates one or more control signals in response to the test mode command that cause the second sense amplifier to be enabled a predetermined amount of time after the first sense amplifier is enabled.

    摘要: Circuit and method for a gate control output circuit having reduced voltage stress on the devices is disclosed. In a circuit of MOS transistors for supplying an output to control a transfer gate, the output having a high voltage level that exceeds a supply voltage, first and second clamping circuits are provided. The first clamping circuit ensures a voltage between the gate and the source/drain and drain/source of a PMOS transistor that couples a pumped voltage to the output does not exceed a predetermined voltage. The second clamping circuit ensures that the voltage between the gate of an NMOS transistor and the output which is coupled to the drain/source of the NMOS transistor does not exceed a predetermined amount. The clamping circuits prevent gate stress problems on the transistors by ensuring the voltages between the gates and the source/drain and drain/source terminals do not exceed predetermined voltages.
