摘要: A word line driver circuit coupled to a memory circuit word line includes pull-up, pull-up clamp, pull-down and pull-down clamp transistors, each having a source, a drain and a gate. For the pull-up transistor, the source is coupled to a first power supply, and the gate to a pull-up control signal. For the pull-up clamp transistor, the source is coupled to the drain of the pull-up transistor, the drain to the word line, and the gate to a pull-up clamp gate signal. For the pull-down transistor, the source is coupled to a second power supply, and the gate to a pull-down control signal. For the pull-down clamp transistor, the source is coupled to the drain of the pull-down transistor, the drain to the word line, and the gate to a pull-down clamp gate signal. The word line is coupled to one or more DRAM cells. Source to drain voltage magnitudes of the pull-up and pull-down transistors are less than a voltage between the first and second power supplies.

摘要: A test circuit for detecting a leakage defect in a circuit under test includes a test stimulus circuit operative to drive an otherwise defect-free, characteristically capacitive node in the circuit under test to a prescribed voltage level, and an observation circuit having at least one threshold and adapted for connection with at least one node in the circuit under test. The observation circuit is operative to detect a voltage level of the node in the circuit under test and to generate an output signal indicative of whether the voltage level of the node is less than the threshold. The voltage level of the node being less than the threshold is indicative of a first type of leakage defect, and the voltage level of the node being greater than the threshold is indicative of a second type of leakage defect.

摘要: Apparatus for passively tracking expired data in a dynamic memory includes an error encoding circuit operative to receive an input data word and to generate an encoded data word which is stored in the dynamic memory. The apparatus further includes a decoding circuit operative to receive an encoded data word from the dynamic memory, to detect at least one or more unidirectional errors in the input data word read from the dynamic memory, and to generate an error signal when at least one error is detected, the error signal indicating that the input data word contains expired data. Control circuitry included in the apparatus is configured for initiating one or more actions in response to the error signal.
