Abstract: An exemplary testing environment can operate in a testing mode of operation to test whether a memory device or other electronic devices communicatively coupled to the memory device operate as expected or unexpectedly as a result of one or more manufacturing faults. The testing mode of operation includes a shift mode of operation, a capture mode of operation, and/or a scan mode of operation. In the shift mode of operation and the scan mode of operation, the exemplary testing environment delivers a serial input sequence of data to the memory device. In the capture mode of operation, the exemplary testing environment delivers a parallel input sequence of data to the memory device. The memory device thereafter passes through the serial input sequence of data or the parallel input sequence of data to provide an output sequence of data in the shift mode of operation or the capture mode of operation or passes through the serial input sequence of data to provide a serial output sequence of scan data in the scan mode of operation.

Abstract: A sense amplifier (SA) comprises a semiconductor substrate having an oxide definition (OD) region, a pair of SA sensing devices, a SA enabling device, and a sense amplifier enabling signal (SAE) line for carrying an SAE signal. The pair of SA sensing devices have the same poly gate length Lg as the SA enabling device, and they all share the same OD region. When enabled, the SAE signal turns on the SA enabling device to discharge one of the pair of SA sensing devices for data read from the sense amplifier.

Abstract: A device is disclosed that includes a plurality of first memory cells, a plurality of second memory cells, a power circuit, and a header circuit. The power circuit is configured to provide a first power voltage via a conductive line for the plurality of first memory cells, and to provide a second power voltage, that is independent from the first power voltage, for the plurality of second memory cells. The header circuit is configured to provide, during the write operation, the first voltage smaller than the first power voltage, the second power voltage, or smaller than the first power voltage and the second power voltage, for corresponding memory cells of the plurality of first memory cells via the conductive line and for corresponding memory cells of the plurality of second memory cells. A circuit structure of the power circuit is different from a circuit structure of the header circuit.
