    摘要: A stress detection circuit includes a function block and a detection signal generation circuit. The function block outputs a first voltage such that the first voltage is varied depending on an extent that the function block is stressed. The detection signal generation circuit generates a stress detection signal based on the first voltage and a second voltage during a test mode. The stress detection signal represents integration of the function block, and a level of the second voltage corresponds to a level of the first voltage before the function block is stressed.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for use with multi-bank Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM) circuits, modules, and memory systems are disclosed. In one described embodiment, an SDRAM circuit receives a bank address to be used in an auto-refresh operation, and performs the auto-refresh operation on the specified bank and for a current refresh row. When all bank addresses have been supplied for the current row, the SDRAM circuit updates the current refresh row and repeats the process. This process can allow a memory controller to modify an auto-refresh bank sequence as necessary such that auto-refresh operations can proceed on some memory banks concurrently with reads and writes to other memory banks, allowing better utilization of the SDRAM circuit. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    摘要: A semiconductor memory device having a partial activation framework, which provides an efficient page mode operation while operating in a partial activation mode. Control circuits and methods are provided to enable a page mode operation (for read and write data accesses) in a semiconductor memory device (such as a DRAM, FCRAM) having a partial activation framework, resulting in an improved data access speed when data is written/read from memory locations having the same wordline address. In one aspect, a method for accessing data in a memory device comprises activating a first wordline corresponding to a first address to perform a data access operation, receiving a second address after the first address, if the second address is the same as the first address, generating a page mode enable signal for maintaining an activated state of the first wordline corresponding to the first address while activating a second wordline corresponding to the second address, and deactivating the first and second wordlines in response to disabling of the page mode enable signal.
