摘要:
A memory configuration includes a central connection area. The central connection area is surrounded annularly by cell arrays having memory cells. The memory configuration has compact external dimensions and is suitable, in particular, for a side ratio of 2:1. All the peripheral circuits are preferably disposed in the central connection area. As a result, the propagation time differences between the peripheral circuits and the various cell arrays are relatively small.

The method includes the steps of communicating test input data to be used for a test to the memory device, performing a test using the test input data in order to obtain test output data, the test data read out being passed via an output driver, at least one data pad, and an input driver, wherein the input drivers and output drivers are switched during the test in such a way as to enable data to be simultaneously read from and written to the memory device, and creating a data test result from the test output data. Furthermore, the invention relates to a memory device and a system for testing a memory device.

摘要:
In the configuration, the module can “learn” one or more time intervals from the external tester and then repeat them internally or compare them to its own internally measured time intervals, for instance, for the purpose of evaluating whether the module in question has crossed a time specification value or remains below the value. The module can also measure and store one or more internal time intervals and transmit them to the external tester in digital or analog form.

In order to program a programmable element, it is proposed in a semiconductor circuit configuration to connect a first and a second connecting terminal of a programmable element to first and/or second potential devices provided in the semiconductor circuit configuration. In this manner, the first and second potentials are intrinsically made available to form a burning voltage for programming the programmable element.

A circuit includes a programmable element having conductor track resistance that can be permanently altered by an electric current. The circuit also has a switchable element for receiving a control signal for programming the programmable element. The programmable element and the switchable element are connected in series between two supply potentials. The programmable element can have an electrical fuse. The input of a read-out circuit is connected through a protective circuit to the circuit node between the programmable element and the switchable element. The protective circuit serves for limiting the voltage potential at the input of the read-out circuit during a programming operation. The circuit elements of the read-out circuit can thus be dimensioned in an area-saving manner. The protective circuit also can include a diode having an anode connected to the input of the read-out circuit and a cathode connected to a third supply potential. The protective circuit can include resistors, one disposed between the anode and input of the read-out circuit and another disposed between the anode and the circuit node.

An integrated circuit has a first control unit for controlling the threshold potential of the transistors of a first conductivity type. In addition, it has a second control unit for controlling the threshold potentials of the transistors of a second conductivity type. The required value input of the second control unit is supplied with a required value for the threshold potential of the transistors of the second conductivity type, which is proportional to the actual value of the threshold potential of the transistors of the first conductivity type. Due to the dependence of the second control unit on the control by the first control unit, improved switching characteristics of the integrated circuit are achieved.

The integrated semiconductor memory configuration has a plurality of memory cell fields connected to one another by low-resistance supply lines forming a power network. The power network is connected to a voltage generator via a high-resistance supply line. An activated memory cell field is supplied, for the purpose of such activation, by self-buffering from the other memory cell fields (1-5, 7-8).

The integrated memory has memory cells which are combined to form individually addressable standard units, and one or more redundant units for replacing one of the standard units on an address basis. The memory also has a self-test unit for performing a function test on the memory cells and for performing an analysis as to which of the standard units is to be replaced by a respective redundant unit. There is also a first memory unit for storing the address, determined by the self-test unit, of the standard unit which is to be replaced by the redundant unit, and a comparison unit connected to an address bus and to outputs of the first memory unit, for comparing an address present on the address bus with the address stored in the first memory unit. The comparison unit activates the redundant unit if a match is recognized. The first memory unit has at least one output which is connected to a corresponding output of the integrated circuit for outputting the respectively stored address.

A data read access and a data write access is shared between two memory banks. A first memory bank of which is operated with a clock that is shifted by half a clock pulse with respect to the operating clock of the other, second memory bank. Partial data streams are combined at the output of the two memory banks to form a data stream with double the frequency.
