Abstract: The arrangement has cell fields (2-9) bounding on a central connector field (1), whereby a cell field has a matrix memory with row and column decoders (10,11) connected to address lines (12,13) and the connector field has connection pads electrically connected to the cell fields. A cell field is arranged at each of the four side edges of the connector field. The cell fields are arranged in a closed rim around the connector field.

Abstract: A method for testing a multiplicity of word lines of a semiconductor memory configuration in a multiple word line wafer test is described. To prevent a pulling-up of inactive word lines which are at a negative voltage when the active word lines are ramped down, the inactive word lines are decoupled from the negative word line voltage and are connected to a high impedance shortly before the active word lines are ramped down.

Abstract: In the configuration, the module can "learn" one or more time intervals from the external tester and then repeat them internally or compare them to its own internally measured time intervals, for instance, for the purpose of evaluating whether the module in question has crossed a time specification value or remains below the value. The module can also measure and store one or more internal time intervals and transmit them to the external tester in digital or analog form.

Abstract: An integrated-circuit circuit arrangement has storage/memory cells (MC) arranged in a storage location array and combined into addressable units with columns of bit lines (BL) and rows of word lines (WL). A decoder (10) selects a bit line (BL) which is connected to a column (bit-line) select line (11) for transmission of a column select signal (S11), and which has a connection (12) for an input signal (S12) for activating the column select signal (S11), and a connection (21) for a row (word-line) activation signal (S21) for activating a row access- signal sequence (S22,S23). The connection (12) for the decoder (10) input signal (S12) is joined to a connection (22) for at least one signal (S22) out of the row (word-line) access-signal sequence (S22,S23) which indicates with its status that the row access is concluded.

Abstract: The memory circuit includes a bit line pair (5, 6), a memory cell (2) with a memory capacitance (3) and a selection transistor (4). When activated, this (4) connects the memory capacitance to one of the bit lines, establishing a charge difference between them (5, 6). The read-out amplifier (10) has one or more transistors (11, 2, 13, 14) amplifying the charge difference. A controller (15) applies a potential to a substrate connection of the transistors (11-14); this potential is a function of the operating state of the memory circuit. The controller applies a first or second potential to the substrate, in accordance with the operating state. The read-out amplifier is activated, to apply a high potential to one bit line, and a low potential to the other. The controller is designed to apply an intermediate potential to the substrate of the transistors, at least with the read-out amplifier inactivated. This potential lies between the low and high potentials on the bit lines. It is selected such that the transistor leakage current does not exceed a given threshold, with the read-out amplifier inactive. With the selection transistor de-activated, the controller adjusts the potential of the bit line pair to a level corresponding with the intermediate potential. When the selection transistor is activated, the read-out amplifier brings the bit lines to a corresponding low or high potential during an amplification phase, and in a holding phase, it maintains the corresponding bit line potentials. The read-out amplifier includes at least one n-channel field effect transistor. Operation of this circuitry, and of implementations with additional transistors, is further detailed. An independent claim IS INCLUDED FOR the corresponding method of operation.

Abstract: An integrated circuit with BIST (built-in self-test) device (3) for carrying out a self-test of the integrated circuit (2) and includes a circuit unit (1) to be tested. One output of the BIST device (3) is connected to a contact point (4) of the circuit which serves for external contacting and which is connected to the input (In) of the circuit unit (1) to be tested. The BIST device (3) supplies a test signal (S1) to the circuit unit (1), via the contact point (4), the latter (4) being specifically connected via an input driver (D1) to the input (In) of the circuit unit (1).

Abstract: The memory has a memory sub-unit in provided by a memory cell in which a dataword is stored and which is coupled to a bit line (6) and an associated pre-charge/equalize circuit (32,14), switched on and off by a control circuit. The pre-charge/equalize circuit is switched on for pre-charging the bit line in the normal memory cell refreshing mode by a control signal with a first voltage level and is switched on for pre-charging the bit line during a normal memory cell accessing mode by a control signal with a second voltage level. An independent claim for a battery-operated device with a semiconductor memory is also included.
