摘要： The read latency of a plurality of memory devices in a high speed synchronous memory subsystem is equalized through the use of at least one flag signal. The flag signal has equivalent signal propagation characteristics read clock signal, thereby automatically compensating for the effect of signal propagation. After detecting the flag signal, a memory device will begin outputting data associated with a previously received read command in a predetermined number of clock cycles. For each of the flag signal, the memory controller, at system initialization, determines the required delay between issuing a read command and issuing the flag signal to equalize the system read latencies. The delay(s) are then applied to read transactions during regular operation of the memory system.

摘要： In a high speed memory subsystem differences in each memory device's minimum device read latency and differences in signal propagation time between the memory device and the memory controller can result in widely varying system read latencies. The present invention equalizes the system read latencies of every memory device in a high speed memory system by comparing the differences in system read latencies of each device and then operating each memory device with a device system read latency which causes every device to exhibit the same system read latency.

摘要： An apparatus and method for repairing a semiconductor memory device includes a first memory cell array, a first redundant cell array and a repair circuit configured to nonvolatilely store a first address designating at least one defective memory cell in the first memory cell array. A first volatile cache stores a first cached address corresponding to the first address designating the at least one defective memory cell. The repair circuit distributes the first address designating the at least one defective memory cell of the first memory cell array to the first volatile cache. Match circuitry substitutes at least one redundant memory cell from the first redundant cell array for the at least one defective memory cell in the first memory cell array when a first memory access corresponds to the first cached address.

摘要： A method of reducing parasitic capacitance in an integrated circuit having three or more metal levels is described. The method comprises forming a bond pad at least partially exposed at the top surface of the integrated circuit, forming a metal pad on the metal level below the bond pad and forming an underlying metal pad on each of the one or more lower metal levels. In the illustrated embodiments, the ratio of an area of at least one of the underlying metal pads to the area of the bond pad is less than 30%. Parasitic capacitance is thus greatly reduced and signal propagation speeds improved.

摘要： A synchronous semiconductor memory device is operable in a normal mode and an alternative mode. The semiconductor device has a command bus for receiving a plurality of synchronously captured input signals, and a plurality of asynchronous input terminals for receiving a plurality of asynchronous input signals. The device further has a clock input for receiving an external clock signal thereon, with the device being specified by the manufacturer to be operated in the normal mode using an external clock signal having a frequency no less than a predetermined minimum frequency. An internal delay locked loop (DLL) clocking circuit is coupled to the clock input terminal and is responsive in normal operating mode to be responsive to the external clock signal to generate at least one internal clock signal. control circuitry in the device is responsive to a predetermined sequence of asynchronous signals applied to the device's asynchronous input terminals to place the device in an alternative mode of operation in which the internal clocking circuit is disabled, such that the device may be operated in the alternative mode using an external clock signal having a frequency less than the predetermined minimum frequency. The alternative mode of operation facilitates testing of the device at a speed less than the minimum frequency specified for the normal mode of operation.
