    • A simple, low-power sense circuit is disclosed that accurately tracks charge transfer between the capacitor of a dynamic random access memory cell and its associated digit line. The circuit, which is preferably located in the peripheral circuitry, employs a model access transistor to charge a pull-up node that is coupled to ground through a capacitor which simulates digit line capacitance. The pull-up node is coupled to the gate of a N-channel field-effect output transistor. When voltage on the node reaches the threshold voltage of the output transistor, the output transistor begins to turn on. The output from the output transistor (in this case, ground potential) is fed back to the gate of a P-channel device which couples the node to V.sub.CC. The P-channel device is used to pull up the node to V.sub.CC rapidly once the trip point (i.e., the threshold voltage) of the N-channel output transistor is reached. The sense circuit is reset for the next read cycle by sending a high signal to the gate of an N-channel reset transistor, which couples the capacitive node to ground.
    • 公开了一种简单的低功率检测电路,其精确地跟踪动态随机存取存储器单元的电容器与其相关的数字线之间的电荷转移。 优选地位于外围电路中的电路采用模型存取晶体管,以通过模拟数字线电容的电容器耦合到地的上拉节点。 上拉节点耦合到N沟道场效应输出晶体管的栅极。 当节点上的电压达到输出晶体管的阈值电压时,输出晶体管开始导通。 输出晶体管(在这种情况下为接地电位)的输出反馈到将节点耦合到VCC的P沟道器件的栅极。 一旦达到N沟道输出晶体管的跳变点(即阈值电压),P沟道器件用于将节点快速上拉至VCC。 通过向N沟道复位晶体管的栅极发送高信号,将感测电路复位为下一个读取周期,N沟道复位晶体管将电容节点耦合到地。

    • A power supply for an integrated circuit has a piecewise linear operating characteristic for improved integrated circuit testing and screening. In an integrated circuit that receives an externally applied power signal, designated V.sub.CCX, and includes a power supply for generating an internal operating voltage, designated V.sub.CCR, an on-chip power supply circuit provides V.sub.CCR as a piecewise linear function of V.sub.CCX. In a first segment of such a function, V.sub.CCR approximates V.sub.CCX for efficient low voltage operations. In a second segment, used for normal operations of the integrated circuit, V.sub.CCR rises gradually with V.sub.CCX so that test results at the edges of the segment can be guaranteed with a margin for measurement tolerance, process variation, and derating. In a third segment, V.sub.CCR follows below V.sub.CCX at a predetermined constant offset. Transitions between segments are smooth due to nonlinear devices used in the power supply circuitry. When used in a dynamic random access memory integrated circuit, operation in the first segment provides data retention at low power consumption. Operation in the second segment supports speed grading individual devices with a margin for properly stating memory performance specifications. Operation in the third segment supports screening at elevated temperatures for identifying weak and defective memory devices.
    • 集成电路的电源具有分段线性工作特性,用于改进的集成电路测试和屏蔽。 接收外部施加的电源信号(指定为VCCX)的集成电路中,包括用于产生内部工作电压的电源(指定为VCCR),片上电源电路提供VCCR作为VCCX的分段线性功能。 在这种功能的第一段中,VCCR逼近VCCX以实现有效的低电压操作。 在用于集成电路的正常操作的第二段中,VCCR随着VCCX逐渐上升,从而可以保证测量公差,工艺变化和降额的边缘上的测试结果。 在第三部分中,VCCR在预定的常数偏移下遵循VCCX以下。 由于电源电路中使用的非线性器件,片段之间的转换是平滑的。 当在动态随机存取存储器集成电路中使用时,第一段中的操作以低功耗提供数据保持。 第二部分中的操作支持对具有裕量的各个设备进行速度分级,以正确说明内存性能规格。 第三部分的操作支持在升高的温度下进行筛选以识别弱和有缺陷的存储器件。
