摘要： A method and circuit for implementing eFuse resistance screening, and a design structure on which the subject circuit resides are provided. An eFuse is sensed using a first reference resistor. Responsive to the eFuse being sensed as blown with the first reference resistor, the eFuse is sensed using a second reference resistor having a higher resistance than the first reference resistor. Responsive to the eFuse being sensed as unblown with the second reference resistor, the eFuse is recorded as poorly blown. Reliability concerns are identified quickly and accurately without being required to measure the resistance of the eFuse.

摘要： A memory system that employs simultaneous activation of at least two dissimilar memory arrays, during a data manipulation, such as read or write operations is disclosed. An exemplary embodiment includes a memory system containing a plurality of arrays, each in communication with a common controller, wherein the arrays are activated by different supply voltage (Vdd). When a processor sends a command to retrieve or write data to the memory system, two or more arrays are addressed to supply the required data. By proper partitioning of the data between dissimilar arrays, the efficiency of data reading is improved.

摘要： A method for allocating redundancies during a multi-bank operation in a memory device which includes two or more redundancy domains is described. The method includes steps of enabling a pass/fail bit detection to activate a given bank. The pass/fail bit detection is prompted only for a selected domain and is disabled when it addresses other domains. By altering the domain selection, it is possible to enable a redundancy allocation for any domain regardless of the multi-bank operation. The method may preferably be realized by using a dynamic exclusive-OR logic with true and complement expected data pairs. When combined with simple pointer logic, the selection of domains may be generated internally, simplifying the built in self-test and other test control protocols, while at the same time tracking those that fail.

摘要： A memory architecture that utilizes single-ended dual-port destructive write memory cells and a local write-back buffer is described. Each cell has separate read and write ports that make it possible to read-out data from cells on one wordline in the array, and subsequently write-back to those cells while simultaneously reading-out the cell on another wordline in the array. By implementing an array of sense amplifiers such that one amplifier is coupled to each read bitline, and a latch receiving the result of the sensed data and delivering this data to the write data lines, it is possible to ‘pipeline’ the read-out and write-back phases of the read cycle. This allows for a write-back phase from one cycle to occur simultaneously with the read-out phase of another cycle. By extending the operation of the latch to accept data either from the sense amplifier, or from the memory data inputs, modified by the column address and masking bits, it is also possible to pipeline the read-out and the modify-write-back phases of a write cycle, allowing them to occur simultaneously. The architecture preferably employs a nondestructive read memory cell such as 2T or 3T gain cells, achieving an SRAM-like cycle and access times with a smaller and more SER immune memory cell.

摘要： A column redundancy system including a column redundancy apparatus for performing a redundancy swapping operation of column elements within the individual micro-cells. The column redundancy apparatus further includes a fuse information storage device, a first bank address decoding mechanism decodes a read bank address corresponding to a first micro-cell accessed for a read operation, and a second bank address decoding mechanism decodes a write bank address corresponding to a second micro-cell accessed for a write operation. If there is at least one defective column element contained within the first micro-cell, then the column redundancy apparatus generates an internal column address corresponding to the at least one defective column element in the first micro-cell. Likewise, if there is at least one defective column element contained within the second micro-cell, then the column redundancy apparatus generates an internal column address corresponding to the at least one defective column element in the second micro-cell.
