摘要:
Methods and apparatus for testing a semiconductor device. A testing interface is configured to interface with an external test apparatus and a device under test (DUT). In one embodiment, the testing interface receives test data and a test clock signal from the external test apparatus. The test data is clocked out of the testing interface and to the DUT according to the test clock signal. Further, the test clock signal is delayed by a period of time and then a delayed clock signal is issued to the device. The data previously written to the DUT is read out of the DUT and compared with the test data received from the external test apparatus. The period of time by which the test clock signal is delayed can be varied to achieve a desired timing.

An integrated circuit is provided, the integrated circuit having a test circuit for reading out an error datum from the integrated circuit in accordance with a test mode, wherein the error datum is output via a first and a second data output, and wherein an address and a read command are applied to the integrated circuit to read out the error datum associated with the address via one of the data outputs. The test circuit is configured in such a manner that, when a first read command is applied, the test circuit outputs the error datum at the first data output and switches the second data output to high impedance and, when a second read command is applied, the test circuit outputs the error datum at the second data output and switches the first data output to high impedance.

Circuitry using fuse and anti-fuse latches (62) for selecting the number of input/output channels (98, 109) after encapsulation is disclosed. The various embodiments allow conventional bond pads (14, 16, 18) to be used for initial selection of the number of input/output channels prior to encapsulation. However, by providing different selection signals (52, 54), the number of input/output channels may be changed by the user at any time after encapsulation. Other embodiments employ “enable” latch circuits (133,135) allow the initial selection by the users at any time after encapsulation, and then at least one more subsequent selection.

A circuit for refreshing data stored in an array of dynamic memory cells is provided. The circuit includes an integrated circuit chip. The chip has the array of memory cells formed thereon. The circuit also includes a refresh rate analysis circuit for determining data retention times in each one of the memory cells and from such determination refresh address modification signals. Also provided is a refresh address generator formed on the chip and fed by refresh command signals generated externally of the chip and by the address modification signals. The refresh address generator supplies an internal refresh commands along with refresh addresses to the array of memory cells. The cells have data stored therein refreshed in response to such internal refresh commands. The refresh rate analysis circuit determines cells in the array having data retention times less than a predetermined value.
