    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a chain structure memory IC with improved reliability by driving a wordline by a mechanism of multi-step voltage, boosting a voltage only when a gate is required and reducing a load to a gate oxidation film. SOLUTION: This invention related to the chain memory IC which drives the wordline by using a mechanism of two-step voltage. During a suspended state, the wordline is maintained by a first logic 1 voltage level. For memory call, a selected wordline is driven by earthing, and on the other hand, a wordline which is not selected is driven by a boosted voltage. The first logic 1 voltage level is lower than the boosted voltage. This reduces the load to the gate oxidation film of a transistor. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO

    Abstract: A test circuit for testing differential read signals during a memory access is disclosed. The test circuit is coupled to a pair of bitlines. During a read access, a selected memory cell produces a differential read signal on the bitlines. When the test circuit is activated, the magnitude of the differential read signal is varied. This enables easy testing of read signal margins in, for example, memory ICs.
