A delay locked loop includes a delay unit with a controllable delay time. Switching elements are provided in order to tap off output signals from the delay elements of the delay unit. Two nodes connected to the switching elements are connected to a multiplexer configuration in order to activate in each case two of the switching elements that are connected to delay elements connected directly in succession. A phase interpolator generates an intermediate phase from the signals provided.

Integrated circuits, in particular memory chips of the DDR SDRAM type, are tested in a parallel manner. In order to prevent the circuits from being driven relative to one another during a test operation, an input terminal that is already connected to a channel of an automatic test machine anyway is connected to a switching device, by which the output drivers can be turned off in a manner dependent on the control signal that can be fed in at the input terminal. The switching device preferably contains a demultiplexer and also a multiplexer. The demultiplexer can be driven by a test control signal that is additionally generated besides the test control signal. The input terminal is connected to a tester channel anyway during test operation, with the result that no additional external outlay arises.

An integrated memory is described which has a memory cell array with column lines and row lines. A row access controller serves for activating one of the row lines and for controlling a deactivation operation. An input of a control unit is connected to a signal terminal for a signal that, in the event of a read access to one of the memory cells, defines the beginning of data outputting to a point outside the memory cell array. The data output is synchronized with a clock signal. In this case, the signal is adjustable depending on an operating frequency of the memory. An output signal of the control unit serves for triggering the deactivation operation of one of the row lines after a write access. Therefore, in the event of a write access, a comparatively high data throughput is possible even at different operating frequencies of the integrated memory.

The integrated circuit generates an output clock signal with a phase shift relative to a first clock signal. The currents IE=I1 and IL=I2 can be weighted differently by means of control signals. A different phase shift of the output clock signal results depending on the weighting.

A circuit configuration includes two signal path sections that are used to program the delay of a signal path, in particular in DRAMs. The two signal path sections have different delays and can be driven in parallel at the input end. The two signal path sections can be connected to an output terminal via a multiplexer. A selection circuit includes two signal path sections which are connected between supply voltage potentials. The selection circuit has two complimentary transistors which are connected in series and has source-end programmable elements. These transistors can be driven by complimentary control signals. This permits the delay to be programmed flexibly with little expenditure on circuitry.

A voltage generator configuration includes a voltage generator which generates a second voltage from a first voltage using a reference voltage and which can be deactivated by using a deactivation signal. The voltage generator configuration is distinguished in that the deactivation signal is fed to the voltage generator over a line through which the reference voltage is also fed to the voltage generator.

Data items D1, D2 read from memory cells MC are simultaneously buffer-stored in memory stages Si of a FIFO memory MEM and are read out again simultaneously from said FIFO memory at a later point in time. Output units OC1, OC2 serve for outputting, at a data output P, the first data D1 synchronously with positive edges of an external clock signal CLK and the second data D2 synchronously with negative edges of the external clock signal CLK.

A delay locked loop has a delay unit with a delay time that can be controlled in a manner dependent on a control signal. In order to generate complementary delayed clock signals, provision is made of switching elements, which tap off the clock signal to be delayed along the series circuit of delay elements. Each of the delay elements has a series circuit of two inverters. One of the delayed clock signals is tapped off in each case at the output of the second of the inverters of the delay elements, and the complementary output signal from the delayed output signals is tapped off at the first of the inverters. What is thus made possible is that, disregarding the frequency of the clock signal to be delayed and the length of the delay time, the complementary delayed clock signals always have the same phase angle with respect to one another.

A current mirror circuit has an input path, which has a current source and, connected in series therewith, a first transistor circuit with at least two transistors, wherein one of the transistors can be connected in parallel with the other of the transistors. In an output path, which has a second transistor circuit with at least two transistors, one of the transistors can be connected in parallel with the other of the transistors. The control terminals of the transistors of the first and second transistor circuits can be connected to the input path. As a result, the current mirror circuit can be changed over between two operating modes with a different current requirement with comparatively short changeover times.

The voltage pump for generating a boosted output voltage has a switch-on control circuit. The switch-on control includes a transistor that is connected between a terminal for feeding in a supply voltage and the terminal for tapping off the boosted output voltage. After the voltage pump has started to operate, the boosted output voltage is decoupled from the supply voltage by the transistor. A changeover switch forwards the respective higher of the output voltage or supply voltage to the substrate terminal and gate terminal of the transistor. The switch-on control enables early provision of a boosted output voltage in conjunction with reliable start-up operation of the voltage pump, while the additional outlay on circuitry is minimized.
