    Abstract: A memory includes input/output paths and electrical leads. Each of the input/output paths are coupled to separate electrical leads. The memory is configured to operate in a test architecture and an operating architecture. In the test architecture, logic enables a greatest number of input/output paths. In the operating architecture, the memory enables the same or fewer input/output paths. The method of selecting a configuration includes establishing an operating and a test architecture and testing the memory in its greater input/output configuration.

    Abstract: A DRAM memory unit contains a memory bit (mbit) transistor and a capacitive region for storing charge. The memory is configured to store data as a charge stored by the capacitive region. Each memory unit is accessed by an associated wordline and the data stored by the memory unit is read from an associated bitline connected to the memory unit. The memory units are connected to the associated wordline via a wordline contact and connected to the associated bitline via a bitline contact. The memory units are arranged in memory unit clusters that include multiple memory units having a common bitline contact. The wordline contact is configured to provide for orientation of the wordlines in the memory array independent of the orientation of the bitlines. The wordline contact is also configured to provide for at least one wordline layer separated from the memory unit by a height of the wordline contact. The wordline contact may be further configured to provide an upper wordline layer and a lower wordline layer each being above the bitline relative to the memory unit.

    Abstract: An apparatus for mounting a semiconductor device to a circuit board for testing is disclosed. The semiconductor device includes semiconductor circuitry and leads to connect the semiconductor circuitry to the circuit board. Additionally, the semiconductor device is decapped so that at least a portion of the semiconductor circuitry is exposed. The apparatus includes a frame and a fastener. The frame is adapted to mate with the semiconductor device, and forms an opening for accessing the semiconductor circuitry and an edge surface for receiving the semiconductor device. The fastener is connected with the frame for removably connecting the frame to the circuit board. By using a frame instead of a socket, the distance to the semiconductor device once the device is mounted to the circuit board, and particularly the top side of the semiconductor device, can be reduced so that the device may be tested using a probe.

    Abstract: A power down is implemented in a memory device capable of performing a read operation in which data and a data strobe signal are supplied as outputs. The power down techniques includes generating a first signal for preventing the data from being supplied as an output of the memory device, generating a second signal for causing the data strobe signal to remain in a predetermined state, and generating a third signal for preventing the data strobe signal in the predetermined state from being supplied as an output of the memory device.

    Abstract: A system and method for monitoring internal voltage sources in an integrated circuit, such as a DRAM integrated circuit, includes an internal analog multiplexing circuit, an internal analog-to-digital converter, and an interface circuit. Through the analog multiplexing circuit, the analog-to-digital converter sequentially connects to each voltage source and converts the measured voltage level of the source to a binary word. The interface circuit presents the binary word, e.g., serially, to test equipment off the integrated circuit.
