    摘要: The time required for testing high-density semiconductor memory devices is reduced by circuits and methodology for rapidly writing test data bits into the memory array. A common word line enable signal is arranged to turn on all of the word lines in the array simultaneously. Test data bits are applied to the array by gating them onto the I/O lines so that separate test bit lines are not required. A fast test enable signal gates the test bits onto the I/O lines in all columns of the array simultaneously, so that all of the memory cells receive test bits at one time. The new circuitry has the further advantages of reduced area and capacitance, the latter further contributing to reducing the test data write time.

    摘要: A data output buffer control circuit for a semiconductor memory device assures a column address setup time and a valid data setup time in EDO mode by eliminating short glitches in the data output buffer. The circuit assures the column address setup time by disabling the data output buffer for a predetermined period of time after an address transition, regardless of the state of a column address strobe signal. The circuit assures the setup time for valid data by sensing when the address is set up relative to when the column address strobe signal is activated, and then enabling the data output buffer so as to maintain invalid data in the data output buffer long enough to prevent a short glitch in the data output buffer if the column address is set up before the column address strobe signal is activated. The circuit includes a pulse generator for generating a pulse signal each time it senses a column address transition, and a latch circuit for combining the pulse signal with the column address strobe signal so as to generate a buffer control signal for enabling and disabling the data output buffer.

    摘要: A bidirectional input/output buffer operates in a current mode to increase the data transfer rate between devices connected by a bidirectional transmission line. The buffer includes an output current source for generating an output current responsive to a data output signal. The output current is combined with an output current indicative of a data input signal received from another device over a transmission line, thereby forming a mixed current signal. The data input signal is restored from the mixed signal by a restoring circuit that compares the mixed signal to a reference current that depends on the value of the data output signal. The restoring circuit includes a current mirror and a reference current source that generates a reference current in response to the data output signal. To provide additional performance, an embodiment of a bidirectional input/output buffer utilizes a switchless structure having two comparators that compare the mixed signal to two different reference signals, thereby generating two comparison signals. A selector circuit selects one of the two comparison signals as the restored data input signal responsive to the data output signal.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a semiconductor memory device, and more particularly to a dynamic random access memory for accomplishing high speed data access by supplying a plurality of row address strobe signals to a chip. A plurality of row address strobe signals are supplied to a plurality of pins, and each row address strobe signal is sequentially supplied with an active signal during a data access operation. Therefore, data in a plurality of memory cell arrays is accessed during one access cycle time. Thus, since a large number of random data are provided, the data access time decreases and the performance of a system can be greatly improved.
