    摘要: A data storage device comprises a controller, a FeRAM memory unit, and a flash memory unit having a much higher data storage capacity than the FeRAM memory unit. Initially, when data is received by the data storage device, the controller stores it in the FeRAM memory unit. This can be done very quickly, since FeRAM devices have a high write rate. Subsequently, the controller transfers the data to the flash memory unit. Thus, the data storage device combines the high storage rate ability of FeRAM devices and the high storage capacity of flash memory devices.

    摘要: The present invention provides a semiconductor memory test mode configuration. A first capacitor stores digital data and connects a cell plate line to a first bit-line through a first select transistor. The first select transistor is activated through a connection to a word line. At least one reference capacitor provides a reference voltage to a reference bit-line. A sense amplifier is connected to the first and reference bit-lines and measures a differential read signal on the first and reference bit-lines. A charge path reduces the differential read signal to determine the signal margin of the semiconductor memory.

    摘要: A memory cell signal window testing apparatus 101 and method for testing the signal window of a memory are disclosed. First data is written to a memory cell during a write cycle. A low cell signal is read from the memory cell during a first read cycle. A comparison is made between the low signal and a low reference signal. The result of the comparison is stored in a first storage register. Second data is then written to the memory cell during a write cycle. A high cell signal is read from the memory cell during a second read cycle. A comparison is made between the high cell signal and a high reference signal. The result of the comparison is stored in a second storage register. The results in the first and second storage registers are compared and an output is provided indicating that the memory cell has failed the test if the comparison shows that both the low cell signal is higher than the low reference signal and the high cell signal is lower than the high reference signal.
