    摘要: An integrated redundancy eDRAM architecture system for an embedded DRAM macro system having a wide data bandwidth and wide internal bus width is disclosed which provides column and row redundancy for defective columns and rows of the eDRAM macro system. Internally generated column and row addresses of defective columns and rows of each micro-cell block are stored in a memory device, such as a fuse bank, during an eDRAM macro test mode in order for the information to be quickly retrieved during each cycle of eDRAM operation to provide an SRAM-like operation. A column steering circuit steers column redundant elements to replace defective column elements. Redundancy information is either supplied from a SRAM fuse data storage device or from a TAG memory device depending on whether a read or write operation, respectively, is being performed. The integrated redundancy eDRAM architecture system enables data to be sent and received to and from the eDRAM macro system without adding any extra delay to the data flow, thereby protecting data flow pattern integrity.

    摘要: A column redundancy architecture system for an embedded DRAM (eDRAM) having a wide data bandwidth and wide internal bus width is disclosed which provides column redundancy to defective datalines of the eDRAM. Internally generated column addresses of defective columns of each micro cell block are stored in a memory device during eDRAM array testing. Two redundancy reroute mechanisms are disclosed. The first redundancy reroute mechanism selects at least one defective dataline of the eDRAM and directly replaces the defective dataline(s) with at least one redundancy dataline. The second redundancy reroute mechanism discards the defective dataline column and replaces it with an adjacent dataline column. The dataline columns following the defective dataline column are then replaced with the next adjacent dataline columns including a redundancy dataline column.

    摘要: A method for allocating redundancies during a multi-bank operation in a memory device which includes two or more redundancy domains is described. The method includes steps of enabling a pass/fail bit detection to activate a given bank. The pass/fail bit detection is prompted only for a selected domain and is disabled when it addresses other domains. By altering the domain selection, it is possible to enable a redundancy allocation for any domain regardless of the multi-bank operation. The method may preferably be realized by using a dynamic exclusive-OR logic with true and complement expected data pairs. When combined with simple pointer logic, the selection of domains may be generated internally, simplifying the built in self-test and other test control protocols, while at the same time tracking those that fail.

    摘要: A one-time-programmable-read-only-memory (OTPROM) is implemented in a two-dimensional array of aggressively scaled suicide migratable e-fuses. Word line selection is performed by decoding logic operating at VDD while the bit line drive is switched between VDD and a higher voltage, Vp, for programming. The OTPROM is thus compatible with and can be integrated with other technologies without a cost adder and supports optimization of the high current path for minimal voltage drop during fuse programming. A differential sense amplifier with a programmable reference is used for improved sense margins and can support an entire bit line rather than sense amplifiers being provided for individual fuses.
