Patent number: 5307313Abstract: In a semiconductor integrated circuit for switching various functions in accordance with "H"/"L" level of a read output from EPROM cells or the like, a state of memory cells incorporated in the semiconductor is detected to switch a function state. The semiconductor integrated circuit is free from an inoperative state caused by indefinite values of an initial state (erasure state) as of the EPROM cells and the like, or is free from a state in which only a predetermined operation is performed. When a writing operation is performed to EPROM cells and the like in an initial state in advance, a function test for a semiconductor integrated circuit can be normally performed. A test time can be largely decreased compared with that of a conventional technique, and a production cost can be largely reduced.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 1991Date of Patent: April 26, 1994Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Akihiro Yamazaki, Tomotaka Saito, Shuichi Ito

Patent number: 5057702Abstract: An integrating circuit integrates an input signal. When an output from the integrating circuit is input to an AC coupling circuit, only an AC component of the output is extracted. The AC component which passes through the AC coupling circuit is waveshaped and coverted into a rectangular wave by a waveshaping circuit. The duty ratio of the waveshaped rectangular wave is detected by a duty ratio detecting circuit. A voltage corresponding to the duty ratio is then generated and fed back to the output of the AC coupling circuit through a feedback circuit. As a result, a DC bias component is applied to the AC component which has passed through the AC coupling circuit. In this case, the voltage generated by the duty ratio detecting circuit is controlled to coincide with the circuit threshold value of the waveshaping circuit, and a rectangular wave having a duty ratio of 50% is output from the waveshaping circuit.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 1989Date of Patent: October 15, 1991Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Nobutaka Kitagawa, Hiroki Muroga, Tomotaka Saito
