    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a circuit device that can read stored information while leaving the stored information as it is, furthermore, examines based on the information whether information that should have been originally assigned to a volatile storage element can be restored from the state of an assigned programmable element or not, and inspects the state of a storage. SOLUTION: The circuit device is equipped with one programmable element 2 and a storage 10 with a volatile storage element 1. In order to store the state of the programmable element, the programmable element 2 is connected to the volatile storage element 1 for each storage 10. Each storage 10 has at least one of output sides Q1 and Q2 for inspecting each state of the programmable element 2 and the volatile storage element 1. In the storage 10, at the time when the state of the programmable element 2 and the volatile storage element 1 is outputted via a selection circuit, an address can be individually specified. Information stored into the volatile storage element remains as it is saved.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize a method for a self-test of constitution elements of a semiconductor memory.
    SOLUTION: This invention relates to a method for testing constitution elements of a semiconductor memory. Data is accumulated in a bank having matrix structure, and the matrix structure is provided with rows and columns to which addresses can be specified. In this method, an error address is transmitted for an external test layer in a compressed form from an error position in a bank. Rows or columns are divided into regions, error caused in each region are counted for each row or column, the number of errors in each region are compared with a threshold value for each row or column, and the comparison result is transmitted to a test device with an error address as additional information for each row or column.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow a programmable element to be programmed with a high voltage and allow an area of a circuit element of a readout circuit to be saved by connecting a second terminal of the programmable element, to which a first terminal of a protective circuit is connected, to an input side of the readout circuit and by limiting a voltage at the second terminal. SOLUTION: A terminal al of a protective circuit 1 is connected to a terminal AF of a programmable element F, while a terminal a2 is connected to a terminal EA on an input side of a readout circuit A. During a programming process of the programming element F, an electrical potential V1 has a positive burn- voltage value. When a switchable element is switched so as to be conducting, the programmable element F is transferred into a low ohm condition and an electrical potential at a node K increases to the burn-voltage value. At this time, an electrical potential at a node N does not increase to exceed a sum of an electrical potential V3 corresponding to a normal positive operating voltage and a forward voltage of a diode D.

Both of the elements are series-connected and are connected with a first feeder potential or a second feeder potential. A supervisory circuit 1 is series-connected with a series circuit, connecting the programmable element with the element T1 which is capable of being switched between a terminal for the first feeder potential and a terminal for the second feeder potential for making the measurement of the amount of electrical characteristics to characterize a programming process. Hereby, the operating process of an electrically programmable element can be supervised in the programming process.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a circuit arrangement for controlling a programmable connection (1), comprising a volatile memory cell (5), which is coupled to the fuse (1) for permanently memorising the data that is stored in the volatile memory (5) and a shift register (3), which permits data to be read from the volatile memory cell (5) and data to be written to the memory cell (5). To control several fuses (1), several shift registers (3) can be interconnected to form a shift register chain. Said shift register chain (3) enables the rapid reading from and writing to the volatile memory (4), using a circuit of low complexity.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a circuit arrangement for controlling a programmable connection (1), which comprises a trigger circuit (2) for selecting and burning the fuse (1), and which comprises a shift register (3), with which an activating signal (B, B') can be supplied to the trigger circuit (2). In a preferred embodiment, a volatile memory location (5) can be provided in order to provide the data that initiates the burning. The circuit arrangement enables a burning of fuses (1) and thus permits the repair of defective memory locations in bulk storage devices even after a chip having the bulk storage device has been embedded. In addition, the aforementioned shift register (3) effectively prevents the occurrence of impermissibly high currents due to the simultaneous burning of too many fuses (1).
