    摘要: An integrated semiconductor memory has regular row and column lines, which can be replaced with redundant row and column lines in the event of a fault. Following initialization of the memory cells with an initialization data item, a data generator circuit writes an identification data item to the memory cells along a regular row or column line. A faulty regular row or column line is replaced with the associated redundant row or column line. Next, the initialization data item is written to memory cells along sound regular row or column lines and the respective identification data item is written to the memory cells along a faulty regular row or column line. Faulty regular row or column lines have the same data value in their memory cells as the redundant row or column lines replacing them.

    摘要: A nonvolatile memory cell (1) can be integrated in space-saving fashion into a semiconductor circuit (10) intended for volatile storage with the aid of volatile memory cells (2). The memory cell (1) has a programmable component (3) having an electrical resistance that can be altered by reprogramming, and also first (8) and second switching elements (9), which switch a first current path (J1) or a second current path (J2) in conducting fashion upon activation of optionally a first (11) or a second word line (12). At least one of the two current paths leads via the programmable component (3). Potentials of two bit lines (21, 22) to which the memory cell (1) according to the invention is connected can be altered as a result of the first or the second current path (J1, J2) being activated temporarily. The memory cell (1) permanently stores an item of digital information and can be driven by word lines (11, 12) and bit lines (21, 22) such as are conventionally used in volatile semiconductor memories (10). The invention opens up the possibility of integrating volatile and nonvolatile memory cells into a common memory cell array.

    摘要: An integrated semiconductor memory includes a memory cell array having memory cells for storing a datum having a first and a second data value. An input datum present at a data terminal is stored multiply in the memory cells of the memory cell array. In order to read out the input datum, the multiply stored input data are fed to an evaluation circuit. The evaluation circuit generates, on the output side, an output datum having the data value that was stored more frequently in the memory cells used for multiple storage of the input datum than other data values. The integrated semiconductor memory thus makes it possible to reduce transfer errors when reading data into the memory cell array or reading data out of the memory cell array.

    摘要: An integrated memory contains an addressing unit for addressing memory cells for a memory access on the basis of received addressing signals. An addressing calculation logic unit is connected to the addressing unit. The latter can be activated by a test mode signal for a test operation of the memory. The addressing calculation logic unit receives command signals and address signals for the test operation, calculates therefrom the addressing signals for the memory access and feeds the latter into the addressing unit. After an initialization with the loading of initial parameters, the command signals and address signals for the test operation are applied to the addressing calculation logic unit and read/write operations are carried out by an access controller. An integrated memory with implemented BIST hardware, in the case of which a comparatively high functionality and flexibility during the memory test, are nevertheless made possible.

    摘要: An integrated semiconductor memory (1) has a multiplicity of memory cells (Z) and first lines (10) and second lines (20) that can be used to actuate the memory cells (Z). The path of each of the first lines (10) contains a respective device (5) that permits actuation of memory cells exclusively in the region of first subsections (I) of the first lines (10). The devices (5) can be set such that they bring about only partial decoupling of the second subsections (II) of the first lines (10) from the latter s first subsections (I), with memory cells either in the region of the first subsections (I) only or in the region of both subsections (I, II) being able to be actuated, depending on the choice of a relatively short or a relatively long access time to the memory cells. This allows subregions of the semiconductor memory to be used for power-saving and faster memory operation.

    摘要: A semiconductor memory and a method for operating the semiconductor memory store information items at least in triplicate at memory addresses in a plurality of memory areas, preferably memory banks, and read the information items therefrom. A checking unit contains synchronization circuits compares the data values that are read and, if the information items that are read differ, can ascertain and possibly immediately correct storage errors. The method of operating the memory enables quasi-random access to memory cells using a permutation circuit. In a test mode for the semiconductor memory, an error log circuit can output error log data instead of or in addition to data values that are read.

    摘要: An integrated semiconductor memory device includes sense amplifiers that are connected to in each case one bit line pair via controllable voltage generators. In a test mode state, precharging voltages can be fed to at least one of the bit lines of each one of the bit line pairs via the controllable voltage generators. The level of the precharging voltage is dependent on a data item present at a data terminal. The precharging voltages of a bit line pair can be transferred to an adjacent bit line pair via a coupling unit. In a subsequent evaluation process, the prepared precharging voltages are evaluated by the connected sense amplifier.
