Abstract:
A memory device includes a repair circuit including a fail bit location information table configured to store row and column addresses of a defective cell in a normal area of a memory cell array. The repair circuit also includes a row address comparison unit configured to compare the row address of the defective cell with a row address of a first access cell received from the outside, and to output a first row match signal when the defective cell's row address matches the row address of the first access cell, and a column address comparison unit configured to compare the column address of the defective cell with a column address of the first access cell received from the outside, and to output a first column address replacement signal if the column address of the defective cell is the same as the column address of the first access cell.
