    摘要: A redundancy memory circuit stores a defect address indicating a defective memory cell row. A redundancy control circuit disables the defective memory cell row corresponding to the defect address stored in the redundancy memory circuit and enables a redundancy memory cell row in the memory block containing the defective memory cell row. Moreover, in the other memory blocks, the redundancy control circuit disables memory cell rows corresponding to the defective memory cell row and enables redundancy memory cell rows instead of these memory cell rows. Consequently, not only the memory block having the defective memory cell row but one of the memory cell rows in the other memory blocks is always also relieved. Thus, the redundancy memory circuit can be shared among all the memory blocks with a reduction in the number of redundancy memory circuits. As a result, the semiconductor memory can be reduced in chip size.

    摘要: A semiconductor memory device includes isolation circuits disconnecting cell arrays from sense amplifiers, and isolation signal generating circuits generating isolation signals that control the isolation circuits. The isolation signal generating circuits are hierarchically divided into main isolation signal generating circuits and sub isolation signal generating circuits. The sub isolation signal generating circuits generate sub isolation signals having a first potential on a high-potential side. The main isolation signal generating circuits generate main isolation signals having a second potential on the high-potential side, the second potential being lower than the first potential.

    摘要: A data transfer method and system are provided that prevent the length of a time required for writing to a flash memory from appearing on the surface as a system operation when the flash memory is used in place of an SRAM. The method of transferring data includes the steps of writing data from a controller to a volatile memory, placing the volatile memory in a transfer state, transferring the data from the volatile memory in the transfer state to a nonvolatile memory, and releasing the volatile memory from the transfer state in response to confirming completion of the transfer of the data.

    摘要: A burn-in test, including first to sixth steps where voltages are applied for the same lengths of time in each step, is applied to a semiconductor memory having alternately arranged bit line pairs with twist structure where the bit lines cross each other and bit line pairs with non-twist structure where the bit lines are parallel to each other. Since lengths of time in which a stress is applied for all bit lines can be equally set, no deviation occurs in lengths of time where stress is applied between the bit lines. Characteristics of memory cells can be prevented from excessively deteriorating from the burn-in test. Further, the number of bit lines not having stress applied can be minimized in the first to sixth steps. Accordingly, the ratio of the bit lines having stress applied can be increased, which reduces the burn-in test time. Thus, test cost can be reduced.

    摘要: A refresh control circuit generates a refresh request in a predetermined cycle. A first burst control circuit outputs a predetermined number of strobe signals in accordance with an access command. A burst access operation is executed by an access command. A data input/output circuit successively inputs data to be transferred to a memory cell array or successively outputs data supplied from the memory cell array, in synchronization with the strobe signals. An arbiter determines which of a refresh operation or a burst access operation is to be executed first, when the refresh request and the access command conflict with each other. Therefore, the refresh operation and burst access operation can be sequentially executed without being overlapped. As a result, read data can be outputted at a high speed, and write data can be inputted at a high speed. That is, the data transfer rate can be improved.

    摘要: A dual-port semiconductor memory apparatus constructed by a core circuit and a plurality of ports, different row blocks of which in the same column block of the core circuit are simultaneously accessible. Since each of the ports is provided with a global data bus, different row blocks of the same column block can be accessed via both ports by selectively activating a column line corresponding to a port and another column line corresponding to another port.
