摘要: A slave communication apparatus including a clock recovering section that recovers a clock signal from a transmission signal having a first signal value when the clock is a first level, a second signal value when the clock is a second level and data has a first data value, and a third signal value between the first and second signal values when the clock is the second level and the data has a second data value; and a data recovering section that recovers the data, wherein the data recovering section sets the data threshold value to be a first setting value between the second and third signal values in response to the recovered data having the second data value, and sets the data threshold value to be a second setting value between the first and third signal values in response to the recovered data having the first data value.

摘要: A memory device includes a data array, a parity array and an ECC circuit. The ECC circuit is coupled to the data array and the parity array. In a first test mode, the ECC function of the ECC circuit is disabled, and in a second test mode, the ECC circuit directly accesses the parity array to read or write parity information through the parity array.

摘要: A memory-testing circuit configured to perform a test of reference bits in a memory. In a read operation, outputs of data bit columns are compared with one or more reference bit columns. The memory-testing circuit comprises: a test controller and association adjustment circuitry configurable by the test controller to associate another one or more reference bit columns or one or more data bit columns with the data bit columns in the read operation. The test controller can determine whether the original one or more reference bit columns have a defect based on results from the two different association.

摘要: A circuit includes a multipath memory having multiple cells and a plurality of sequence generators. Each sequence generator of the plurality of sequence generators drives one separate cell of the multiple cells via an automatic test pattern generator (ATPG) mode signal for each cell. The ATPG mode signal for each cell is configured via a sequence configuration input that controls a timing sequence to test each cell. The state of the ATPG mode signal of each cell selects whether test data or functional data is output from the respective cell.

摘要: A semiconductor memory device included in each of a plurality of chips which are divided by a scribe lane and formed on an upper surface of a wafer, includes a memory core and a built-in self test (BIST) circuit. The memory core includes a memory cell array that stores data and a data input/output circuit connected to a data input/output pad. The BIST circuit is connected to a test pad that is separate from the data input/output pad. The BIST circuit generates test pattern data including first parallel bits based on commands and addresses received from an external automatic test equipment (ATE) during a wafer level test process performed on the semiconductor memory device. The BIST circuit tests the memory core by applying the test pattern data to the memory cell array through the data input/output circuit.
