    摘要: A tester is connected to a signal output terminal provided in a DRAM chip, and a frequency of a clock signal output from an internal timer is monitored. The frequency of the clock signal is varied by changing the combination of 3 bit signals, so as to obtain signals by which the frequency closest to the set value is obtained. A fuse in the internal timer is disconnected to set the frequency of the clock signal so as to obtain the same state as in the case where that signal is applied. The internal timer includes an oscillator formed of a plurality of inverters connected in ring shape and a variable capacitance circuit for each inverter. Each variable capacitance circuit includes a plurality of sets of transfer gates, fuses and capacitors connected between the output node of the corresponding inverter and a prescribed potential line.

    摘要: In an exclusive OR circuit (XOR gate) constituting an ECC circuit, the drivability of P channel MOS transistors is set larger than the drivability of N channel MOS transistors. Accordingly, the speed of the logic level of an output node being set to an H level from an L level identified as a reset state is increased than the case where the drivability is set equal. Thus, the time required to output a syndrome from a plurality of stages of XOR gates can be reduced to allow execution of error correction processing at high speed.

    摘要: After writing data into a memory cell array according to an internal address signal, data read out from each memory cell is compared with expected value data in a read out operation. When there are two spare rows and two spare columns provided, a replacement determination unit is provided for each of the sixth types of sequences sequentially replacing a memory cell row and a memory cell column. A defective address is written into four sets of storage cell trains provided corresponding to each replacement determination unit only when a defective memory cell is detected having an address differing from at least one of a row address and column address of a defective memory cell that is already stored.
