    摘要: A semiconductor integrated circuit including an internal voltage step down circuit exhibits a first voltage characteristic I having substantially no dependence on an external power supply voltage VEXT and holding an internal power supply voltage VINT at a constant voltage VA if the external power supply voltage VEXT is in the range between two predetermined values V1 and V2. On and after the external power supply voltage VEXT exceeds the predetermined value V2, the circuit exhibits a second voltage characteristic II, in which the internal power supply voltage VINT varies from the constant voltage VA in accordance with the external power supply voltage VEXT, during a non-accelerated test (operation margin certification test). On the other hand, during the accelerated test, the circuit exhibits a third voltage characteristic III in which the internal power supply voltage VINT reaches a certain voltage VB (>VA) and goes on increasing from VB in accordance with the external power supply voltage VEXT. Thus, during the operation margin certification test, the internal power supply voltage VINT exhibits continuously varying characteristics I and II and the operation of the circuit can be assured in the voltage range from VA to VB. During the accelerated test, a voltage can be increased at a sufficiently high rate owing to the characteristic III.

    摘要: A semiconductor memory includes a memory cell array, a redundancy repair signal generator, and a row decoder. The memory cell array includes a plurality of memory cell rows and at least one redundant memory cell row. The redundancy repair signal generator generates a redundancy repair signal that indicates an address of a defective memory cell row. The row decoder receives a row address signal that indicates a memory cell row including a memory cell to be accessed and selects the redundant memory cell row in accordance with the redundancy repair signal generated by the redundancy repair signal generator. The redundancy repair signal generator is located opposite to the row decoder with the memory cell array placed therebetween. This configuration can achieve a reduction in free space and thus a reduction in area loss.

    摘要: There provided a semiconductor memory device which ensures writing to all memory cells regardless of fluctuations in properties of the memory cells caused by manufacturing error or the like and can reduce write operation time and power consumption. Write operations for a memory cell 1 and a dummy memory cell 1a are controlled based on a write amplifier control signal WAE. Write operation end timing is determined based on a write completion signal WRST which indicates a storage state of the dummy memory cell 1a. The dummy memory cell 1a and peripheral circuitry are designed so that write time required for the dummy memory cell 1a is more than or equal to a maximum of write time required for the memory cells 1.
