Abstract: Spurious memory readings which may be caused by noise induced by transitions in the output buffers of a fast parallel memory device are prevented by permitting output latches to change state in function of newly extracted data signals by means of an enabling pulse having a preestablished duration and which is generated only after a change of memory address signals has occurred and the new configuration of memory address signals has lasted for a time which is not shorter than the time of propagation of signals through the memory chain. The enabling pulse is generated by employing a detector of transitions occurring in the input circuitry of the memory, a dummy memory chain, a one-shot pulse generator and a resetting pulse generator. The anti-noise network may be exploited also for implementing an auto-stand-by condition at the end of each read cycle, which reduces power consumption and increases speed by implifying the sensing process.

Abstract: PURPOSE: To provide a circuit constitution and its method which can facilitate a PLA(programmable logic array) test with higher safety and at a higher speed. CONSTITUTION: A circuit constitution 1 which tests a matrix 2 is provided with a series of input latches 7 and output latches 8 which are connected to the matrix 2, and at least a test data bus 11 and a test address bus 12 which are connected to the latches 7 and 8. In such a constitution, the matrix test time is considerably shortened.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for self-testing and correcting an error caused by the charge loss of a flash memory. SOLUTION: Read and parity check are repeated sequentially per byte and integrity is verified for values stored in respective parity bits of a parity value. It the verification is negative, and parity verification is continued sequentially starting from the first row until a row generating a negative verification result is identified while sustaining the current row address. If a discrete tail bit is '1', it is rewritten to '0'.

Abstract: PURPOSE: To eliminate the need of generating an ON-CHIP exclusive signal to reduce the chip size by using the existing signal line in a memory to program a redundant register. CONSTITUTION: A two-dimensional array memory matrix provided with a 16-bit data bus is divided into a plurality of portions each of which is composed of a plurality of bit groups. Redundant registers RR1-4 composed of programmable non-volatile memory is capable of programming an address of the defective bit line received from a column address signal CABUS in its first block 1. Moreover, in the second block 2, an identification code MCS7-10 of the bit group to which a defective bit line belongs obtained from the first part R1-4 of the row address signal set RABUS. A programming selection means 6 selects the redundant register RR1-4 with the second part R5-8 of the row address signal set RABUS to store the address information of the defective bit line.

Abstract: PURPOSE: To execute a test faster by excluding an internal state machine and directly programming a cell matrix to testify that the program is correct. CONSTITUTION: A test circuit 10 receives a test mode active signal from an address bus 2 and a data bus 3, the positions of switches I1 to 3 are switched. The switch I1 is switched to a second circuit 8 (programming circuit) connecting a signal WEN to a memory matrix. The switch I2 is switched to a first circuit 6 (generator) connecting a signal CEN to a circuit 2 and a word line. The switch 3 directly input a signal OPE to the circuit 6 and an output buffer circuit 7. As the result of this, the internal state machine is excluded and addresses can freely be used. Then a new test method programming a desired cell through the use of a control signal with a new meaning and testifying that the program is correct is obtained.

Abstract: PURPOSE: To derive optimum performance from a memory by enabling the circuit with a switching edge, making the circuit programmable, and protecting the circuit against noise. CONSTITUTION: A delay unit 23 inputs a low-level signal, which goes up to a high level a delay time corresponding to the contents of memory elements 20 and 22 after a leading edge of a signal ATD is received, to a NOR gate 27. The gate 27 inputs a signal PC as a signal DET to an asymmetrical delay unit 24 through a NOR gate 28, and a low-level data simulation signal SP is outputted which goes up to the high level a delay time based upon the elements 20 and 21 after a leading edge of the signal DET is received. The signal SP is transferred to an output similar circuit 33 and at its completion time, a high level is outputted. Consequently, signals N and L are switched to the low level and the output STP of a continuance expanding circuit 51 goes down to a low level. Consequently, the data loading is completed. This loading lasts accurately in an output circuit 108 during data propagation.
