Abstract:
PURPOSE: A semiconductor device for testing a memory cell and a testing method thereof are provided to rapidly test the memory cell by detecting a short between data transmission lines. CONSTITUTION: Terminals(DQ0, DQ4, DQ8, DQ12) are connected to a channel. A plurality of buffers(BUF_0,BUF_4,BUF_8,BUF_12) receive data outputted from the corresponding terminal and output the received data to the memory cell. The output signal of the buffer is applied to the corresponding memory cell through latch units(LATCH_0,LATCH_4,LATCH_8,LATCH_12). The latch unit latches on to the output signal of the corresponding buffer and outputs the latched signal. A controller(250) generates first to fourth control signals and outputs the generated control signals to the buffer.

PURPOSE: The input buffer circuit of a semiconductor device including a regulating function for an input level is provided to optimize the input level of an input signal applied to an input buffer using a mode-register set-signal and a fuse option. CONSTITUTION: An input buffer(22) responds a selected bias voltage(SBBp) in order to regulate the input level of an input signal(IN). A voltage generator(10) and a voltage distributor(11) generate and distribute the bias voltage into bias voltages with different levels. Selectors(20, 21) select one of the bias voltages with different levels according to a selection signal. The selectors apply the selected bias voltage to the input buffer.

A cell plate voltage generator and a semiconductor memory device including the same are provided to improve operation reliability by supplying a cell plate voltage of enough voltage level. A memory cell array(60) comprises a plurality of memory cells. Each memory cell comprises one capacitor(C) and one transistor(Q). An internal power voltage generation part(20) generates an internal power voltage(IVC) according to an external power voltage(EVC). An external initialization signal generation part(40) generates a generating enable signal according to the external power voltage. The generating enable signal is an initialization signal(VCCHB-EVC) based on the external power voltage. A first sub cell plate voltage generation part(30) generates a first cell plate voltage(Vcp-1) according to the internal power voltage. A second sub cell plate voltage generation part(50) receives the external power voltage in response to the initialization signal based on the external power voltage, and generates a second cell plate voltage(Vcp-2) according to the external power voltage.
Abstract:
A level shifter circuit for low power consumption is provided to prevent a leakage current by cutting off a current path generated in a DPD(Deep Power Down) mode. A level shifter circuit for low power consumption includes a pull-up unit(110), a pull-down unit(120), and a cutting-off unit(130). The pull-up unit pulls up an input voltage signal and outputs the pulled-up input voltage signal to an output node. The pull-down unit pulls down the input voltage signal and outputs the pulled-down input voltage to the output node. The cutting-off unit controls the connection of the pull-up unit and the pull-down unit in a specific mode. The level shifter circuit further includes a latch unit for preventing the floating of the output node in the specific node.
