    摘要: A dynamic semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell array including a plurality of memory cells connected between a plurality of word lines and a plurality of bit line pairs. A mode setting portion receives a mode setting code applied from an external portion to generate a power saving mode control signal for a power saving mode of operation responsive to a mode setting command. An address control portion decodes an address applied from an external portion or a refresh address to select one of the plurality of the word lines during a normal mode operation. The address control portion also selects a predetermined number of bits of the address during a power saving mode of operation. The semiconductor memory device, therefore extends the refresh cycle while reducing the refresh time resulting in a lower power consumption.

    摘要: A semiconductor memory device includes input/output circuitry capable of operating in sync with an externally provided I/O clock signal. A data in buffer and a data out buffer provide for serial to parallel conversion of write data and, conversely, parallel to serial conversion of read data. The data buffers can be synchronized with the external I/O clock signal thereby decoupling their operation from the internal system clock signal. This strategy improves I/O bandwidth and further provides for matching different numbers of bit lines or word sizes as between the I/O data port and the memory array itself. An internal I/O clock generator can be provided for generating I/O clock signals, again without the limitation of synchronizing to the internal system clock signal.

    摘要: Example embodiments of the present invention include a memory device testable without using data and a dataless test method. The memory device includes a plurality of registers to store test patterns, the registers being coupled to input/output DQ pads. The test patterns are stored in the registers when a mode register of the memory device is set. The memory device transfers the test patterns to a DQ pad responsive to a write test signal, and transfers the test patterns from the DQ pad to a data input buffer responsive to a read test signal. The memory device writes the test patterns transferred to the data input buffer to memory cells. The memory device reads data stored in the memory cells responsive to the write test signal and transfers the memory cell data from the DQ pad to a comparator responsive to the read test signal. The memory device compares the test patterns to the memory cell data transferred to the comparator and generates an indicator signal to indicate the comparison result.

    摘要: A semiconductor memory device that includes a memory cell connected to a wordline and a wordline voltage generator. The wordline voltage generator supplies a first negative voltage to the wordline in a standby state and supplies a second negative voltage that is lower with respect to ground than the first negative voltage to the wordline in a refresh operation. Accordingly, a leakage current generated at a transistor of a memory cell by gate-induced drain leakage (GIDL) is suppressed to enhance the performance of a refresh operation.
