    摘要: A semiconductor device includes: two level shift circuits having substantially the same circuit configuration; an input circuit that supplies complementary input signals to the level shift circuits, respectively; and an output circuit that converts complementary output signals output from the level shift circuits into in-phase signals and then short-circuits the in-phase signals. According to the present invention, the two level shift circuits having substantially the same circuit configuration are used, and the complementary output signals output from the level shift circuits are converted into in-phase signals before short-circuited. This avoids almost any occurrence of a through current due to a difference in operating speed between the level shift circuits.

    摘要: A semiconductor memory device is provided that is capable of detecting a short circuit defect to be detected in a memory array without causing an error due to off-current of a sense amplifier circuit. Sense amplifier circuits amplify a potential between a pair of bit lines, which occurs based on potential of memory cells selected by driving word lines and bit lines. Selection transistors are provided between the bit lines and the sense amplifier circuits. A word-SE interval control circuit included in an X timing generating circuit turns off the selection transistors and disconnects the bit lines from the sense amplifier circuits based on a signal representing a test state for expanded time when a test to expand an interval between word line driving and activation of the sense amplifier circuits and detect defect sites of the bit lines is performed.

    摘要: To include a power-down control circuit that suspends an operation of a predetermined internal circuit in response to a power-down command, and an external terminal to which a selection signal is input from outside simultaneously with issuance of a power-down command. The power-down control circuit suspends an operation of a DLL circuit when the selection signal is at a low level, and continues an operation of the DLL circuit when the selection signal is at a high level. According to the present invention, by using the selection signal input simultaneously with a power-down command, mode selection can be made on-the-fly.
