  • Patent number: 8059477
    Abstract: A redundancy circuit of a semiconductor memory apparatus includes an enable signal generation unit configured to have a plurality of enable fuses corresponding to a first mat grouping information signal and a second mat grouping information signal and enable an enable signal when at least one of the plurality of enable fuses is cut and a mat grouping information signal corresponding to the cut fuse is inputted; a fail address setting control block configured to select the first mat grouping information signal or the second mat grouping information signal depending upon whether an enable fuse corresponding to the first mat grouping information signal is cut or not, and generate fail setting addresses; and a comparison section configured to compare the fail setting addresses with real addresses and generate a redundancy address.

  • Patent number: 8058920
    Abstract: A flag signal generation circuit includes a first periodic signal detection unit, a second periodic signal detection unit, and a flag signal output unit. The first periodic signal detection unit is configured to detect a change in a level of a first periodic signal and generate a first detection signal. The second periodic signal detection unit is configured to detect a change in a level of a second periodic signal and generate a second detection signal. The flag signal output unit is configured to generate a pre-flag signal from the first and second detection signals, buffer the pre-flag signal in response to a mode register read signal, and output the buffered pre-flag signal as a flag signal.
