Abstract:
A semiconductor memory device comprising an extended operation mode and an apparatus for selecting the operation mode of the semiconductor memory device are provided to easily judge input/output characteristics of the semiconductor memory device, by using low speed test equipment. In a semiconductor memory device comprising a normal operation mode and an extended operation mode, input or output operation of input/output data is performed by using a normal data signal corresponding to input/output data of the semiconductor memory device operating synchronously with a reference internal clock and a normal data strobe signal synchronized with a pulse edge corresponding to the pulse edge of the normal data signal during the normal operation mode. During the extended operation mode, input or output operation of the input/output data is performed by using an extended data signal with extended time width from the normal data signal and an extended data strobe signal synchronized with a pulse edge corresponding to the pulse edge of the extended data signal. The rising edge or falling edge of the extended data strobe signal is synchronized with the rising edge or falling edge corresponding to the pulse edge of the extended data signal.
Abstract:
A delay circuit and a semiconductor device comprising the same are provided to delay an input signal through selected variable delay units only, by maintaining a minimum delay time constantly even though the number of the variable delay units increases. A plurality of variable delay units(21-2n) is connected serially. A driving unit(30) generates an output signal by assembling signals transmitted from the plurality of variable delay units. Each variable delay unit delays an output signal of a previous stage and then transmits the delayed output signal to a variable delay unit in a next stage when delay operation is enabled according to a control signal, and transmits the output signal of the previous stage to the driving part if the delay operation is disabled.
