Abstract:
A circuit for outputting information of a memory circuit during a self-refresh mode includes a driver. The driver is coupled to a self-refresh control circuit and a self-refresh address counter. The driver is used for driving a plurality of pads of the memory circuit to output information of a plurality of inner signals corresponding to a self-refresh mode signal, and output information of addresses of a plurality of word lines of the memory circuit when the self-refresh mode signal and a test mode signal are enabled and the memory circuit enters the self-refresh mode. Each word line of the plurality of word lines corresponds to an inner signal of the plurality of inner signals.
