    摘要: A read-write mode control method is described in which a waiting time during a reading process can be shortened by conducting a read instruction with auto-precharging in a first circuit part. The first circuit part is separate from a second circuit part used for conducting the write instruction, since a memory controller does not need to insert any wait cycles between a write instruction and an associated activate signal.

    摘要: An integrated memory has memory cells which are each connected to a row line to select one of the memory cells and to a column line to read or write a data signal. A row access controller is used to activate one of the row lines to select one of the memory cells and to control a precharging operation to precharge one of the row lines. A precharge command initiates a precharging operation. The precharging operation for an activated row line is triggered by the row access controller when the reading or writing of a data signal has been finished and when a defined time interval, during which the row line must at least be activated, has elapsed since the activation. As a result, a precharging operation of the activated row line is controlled in a self-adjusting manner. A method of operating an integrated memory is also provided.

    摘要: The integrated circuit has an activation decoder whose outputs are connected to the inputs of a command decoder. When an activation signal is at a first logic level, the activation decoder produces at its outputs a command supplied to it from command inputs. When the activation signal is at a second logic level, the activation decoder produces a deactivation command at its outputs irrespective of the command supplied to it from the command inputs. The command decoder does not activate any of its outputs when the deactivation command is being supplied to its inputs. The command decoder activates one of its outputs in each case when a different command is supplied to its inputs.

    摘要: An integrated memory has a first operating mode, in which, during each write access, only one of the two global amplifiers is active and transmits a datum via one of the local amplifiers to the corresponding bit line. Moreover, the memory has a second operating mode, in which, during each write access, both global amplifiers are simultaneously active and transmit a common datum via in each case at least one of the local amplifiers to the corresponding bit lines.

    摘要: Each redundant unit of an integrated memory device is assigned respective programmable elements, comparison units, a code converting unit, a logic unit and a multiplexer. Each multiplexer has a first switching state, in which it connects outputs of the first comparison units to first inputs of the logic unit, and a second switching state, in which it connects outputs of the code converting unit to the first inputs of the logic unit. In the second switching state of the multiplexers, each redundant unit is assigned a different address in the unprogrammed state of the programmable elements. Therefore, redundant units can be selected individually for test purposes.

    摘要: An integrated memory has first control lines, which run in the direction of bit lines, and a second control line, which runs in the direction of word lines. First control inputs of in each case at least two switching elements that are connected to different sense amplifiers are connected to the same first control line.
