摘要： In a semiconductor memory, switch circuits are provided so as to inhibit voltage and signal supplies to each of the normal memory blocks when so required. On the other hand, a ROM is provided on the chip so as to store the address of a defective memory block which consumes an excessively large stand-by current when the semiconductor memory is in the stand-by mode. The switch circuits are controlled by the output of the ROM so as to inhibit the voltage and signal supply to the defective memory block. Then, a spare memory block which is substituted for the defective normal memory block receives the voltage and signal supply.

摘要： In a voltage converter provided in a semiconductor device and supplying an internal supply voltage to a circuit in the semiconductor device, a circuit is provided for generating a first voltage whose dependency on an external supply voltage is regulated to a predetermined small value, while another circuit is provided for generating a second voltage whose dependency on the external supplying voltage is larger than the dependency of the first voltage. Another circuit selects the first voltage when the semiconductor device is in a state of a standard operation and selects the second voltage when the device is in another state of operation, such as testing or aging. The selected voltage may be converted by a differential amplifier which is constituted by a load of P-channel MOS transistors and a source-coupled pair of N-channel MOS transistors. An output of the differential amplifier is fed back through a directly coupled voltage lowering circuit which generates the converted output.
