Abstract:
크랙을 검출하기 위해 테스트 커맨드(test command)에 따라 제 1 레벨을 가지는 기준 신호가 발생된다. 제 2 레벨을 가지는 라인 신호가 반도체 칩에 형성된 라인 패스를 통해 패스된 1 레벨을 가지는 기준 신호를 이용함에 의해 발생된다. 상기 라인 신호는 상기 기준 신호와 비교된다. 그 결과, 상기 크랙의 발생에 대한 정보를 가지는 크랙 검출 신호가 발생된다. 반도체 칩이 상기 칩의 테두리를 따라 형성된 라인 패스를 포함하므로, 미세한 크랙이 정확하게 검출된다.

PURPOSE: An output buffer circuit capable of reducing skew of output data is provided to reduce skew of output data even though PVT(Process, Voltage, Temperature) is changed. CONSTITUTION: A pull-up transistor(31) pulls up an output port in response to a pull-up control signal. A pull-down transistor(33) pulls down the output port in response to a pull-down control signal. A NAND gate(35) generates the pull-up control signal by receiving at least one control signal and data. And a NOR gate(37) generates the pull-down control signal by receiving an inverted signal of the control signal and the data. The number of PMOS transistors on a path from the first power supply voltage to an output port of the NAND gate is the same as the number of PMOS transistors on a path from the first power supply voltage to an output port of the NOR gate. The number of NMOS transistors on a path from the output port of the NAND gate to the second power supply voltage is the same as the number of NMOS transistors on a path from the output port of the NOR gate to the second power supply voltage.
