Abstract:
A multi-channel memory device includes a first channel memory and a second channel memory that are independently accessible within a same chip and that respectively include first and second power channel connection lines; a decoupling unit that can operationally connect or separate the first and second power channel connection lines in response to a decoupling driving signal; and a switching control unit that can apply the decoupling driving signal to the decoupling unit in response to a channel power control signal such that power supply voltages independently applied to the first and second channel memories are respectively used in corresponding first and second power channel connection lines.
Abstract:
A semiconductor memory device includes a cell array that includes a first row block and a second row block, a bit line sense amplifier block that senses data stored in the first row block or the second row block, a local sense amplifier that latches the sensed data transferred from the bit line sense amplifier block, and a switch that connects the local sense amplifier with a selected one of a first global data line and a second global data line in response to a select signal. The second row block may be placed at an edge of the cell array, and the switch connects the local sense amplifier with the first global data line when the first row block is activated and connects the local sense amplifier with the second global data line when the second row block is activated.
Abstract:
A semiconductor memory device which stores operation environment information such as use time data, operating temperature data, or operating voltage data includes an internal circuit configured to perform a function set in the semiconductor memory device, and an operation environment information storing circuit configured to sense information about an operation environment of the semiconductor memory device when the semiconductor memory device operates, store the operation environment information in non-volatile memory cells, and provide the operation environment information stored in the non-volatile memory cells to an outside based on a request of reading out information.
