Abstract:
A memory device including: a memory cell array including normal memory cells and spare memory cells arranged in rows and columns including normal columns including the normal memory cells and at least one spare column including spare memory cells, a segment match determining circuit configured to compare a segment address with row address information corresponding to a failed segment and to generate a load control signal, and a column match determining circuit configured to compare column address information corresponding to a failed column in response to the load control signal with a column address and to generate a column address replacement control signal, wherein the memory cells connected to fail columns of the fail segment are replaced with memory cells connected to columns of the spare memory cells in response to the column address replacement control signal.
Abstract:
A memory chip includes a chip input-output pad unit, a plurality of semiconductor dies. The chip input-output pad unit includes a plurality of input-output pins connected to an external device and the plurality of semiconductor dies are connected commonly to the chip input-output pad unit and having a full memory capacity respectively. Each semiconductor die includes a die input-output pad unit, a memory region and a conversion block. The die input-output pad unit includes a plurality of input-output terminals respectively connected to the input-output pins of the chip input-output pad unit. The memory region includes an activated region corresponding to a portion of the full memory capacity and a deactivated region corresponding to a remainder portion of the full memory capacity. The conversion block connects the activated region except the deactivated region to the die input-output pad unit.
