    摘要: A programmable storage element for redundancy-programing includes a programmable antifuse circuit, which includes a plurality of first resistors and a switching circuit for coupling the first resistors in series in response to a plurality of first control signals and for coupling the first resistors in parallel in response to a plurality of second control signals to permit programing of the first resistors, and a sensing circuit for determining whether or not the first resistors have been programmed. The state of the first resistors is determined by comparing a first voltage drop across the first resistors with a second voltage drop across a second resistor. Each of the first resistors is an unsilicided polysilicon conductor which has an irreversible resistance decrease when a predetermined threshold current is applied for a minimum period of time.

    摘要: The selection in a dual port memory device of data from a serial access memory register having a lower byte and an upper byte of data is described herein. In one embodiment, the register is partitioned lengthwise into two sections, corresponding to, for example, a frame buffer A and a frame buffer B. On each serial clock cycle, frame buffer A or frame buffer B for each byte of data may be selected from the register. Each of the selected bytes of data are then passed to a serial output port. In another embodiment, the lower byte of data corresponds to, for example, a frame buffer A and the upper byte corresponds to a frame buffer B. Then either the upper byte or lower byte of data is selected to be output on the serial port. In yet a further embodiment, the serial access memory register is partitioned lengthwise into two sections, each section corresponding to, for example, a frame buffer and the bytes of data correspond to another buffer, then either the lower byte or upper byte is selected to be output on the serial port.

    摘要: A fuse download system for programming decoders for redundancy. Auxiliary fuse banks have sets of fuses that store logic states that (a) select a redundant decoder and (b) indicate the address of a faulty row/column of memory cells. When the chip is first powered up, each set of fuses is accessed and downloaded to program selected redundant decoders. Because the fuse sets can be dynamically assigned to redundant decoders on an any-for-any basis, the fault tolerance of the redundancy system is enhanced.

    摘要: A dual-port DRAM in which a single serial latch is shared between two pairs of folded bit lines from two arrays of memory cells. A first set of mux devices selects one of the two pairs of folded bit lines from each of the arrays, and a second set of mux devices selectively couple one of the remaining folded bit line pairs to either the parallel port or the serial latch for access to the serial port. This arrangement greatly decreases the consumption of chip real estate. At the same time, it makes unlimited vertical scrolling possible through the use of a copy mode that can be carried out in two operating cycles, and facilitates masked writing, while at the same time reducing clocking complexity.
