摘要： A semiconductor memory architecture for embedded memory instances having redundancy. A fuse box register is provided outside the memory macro associated with the memory instances. The memory instances are daisy-chained to the fuse box register containing a plurality of fuses used for storing fuse data associated with the defective rows and columns of main memory. During power-up or after blowing the fuses, the contents of the fuses (i.e., fuse data) are transferred to a plurality of volatile redundancy scan flip-flops. The fuse box is then deactivated to eliminate quiescent current through the fuses. The redundancy scan flip-flops, connected in a scan chain, are located inside the fuse box as well as the memory instances. During the shifting mode of operation, the fuse contents are scanned into individual flip-flops, organized as scan registers for row redundancy and column redundancy, of the memory instances. Redundant elements are pre-tested by bypassing the fuses and directly scanning in arbitrary patterns into the redundancy scan flip-flops (override mode operation). The contents of row redundancy scan register (i.e., faulty wordline address information) are compared with an incoming wordline address and if there is a match found, the primary wordline or wordlines are de-selected and the redundant wordline or wordlines are selected.

摘要： A unit for stabilizing the voltage on a capacitive node of a memory array, such as a common node bit line (CNBL), is disclosed. The unit includes an amplifier connected to the CNBL line and to one voltage source and a leaker connected to the CNBL line and to the other voltage supply, where the two voltage supplies can be the positive and ground supplies. The leaker is much smaller then the amplifier thereby to remove current from the CNBL line when there is little or no activity in The memory array. An alternative version of the unit which is also operative for standby operation is disclosed. In this embodiment, there is a switchable high power unit activatable during an active mode and a low power unit. Both units include an amplifier and a leaker connected as in the previous embodiment. The leakers are much smaller then the amplifiers and the amplifier of the high power unit is much larger than the amplifier of the low power unit. The high power unit also includes control transistors for disabling its amplifier and leaker during the standby mode.

摘要： A system and method for effectuating a self-timed clock (STC) loop for memory access operations wherein an Embedded Test and Repair (ETR) processor engine is utilized for optimizing an access margin value. Upon compiling a semiconductor memory instance based on its configuration data, a default access margin value is passed to a wrapper interface associated with the memory instance. In one implementation, an adjusted access margin value is determined by an optimization algorithm operable to be executed on the ETR processor engine, which adjusted access margin value is used for generating the STC signal with a particular time setting that is optimized for a memory instance of a given size.
