  • Patent number: 4694432
    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device comprises a plurality of row decoder circuits connected with word lines for selecting memory cells. The row decoder circuits include normal row decoder circuits and spare row decoder circuits which can be selected in place of a normal row decoder circuit in case where a fault occurs in a memory cell selected by a word line connected to the normal row decoder circuit. An RAS signal (precharge signal) is applied to an output line (12) of a normal row decoder circuit through a precharge bus (31). A link element (11p) is inserted in the precharge bus (31). The link element (11p) is an element which can be melted by a laser beam, whereby the normal row decoder circuit associated is maintained in a non-selective state. A clamp circuit (14) is also connected to the output line (12).

  • Patent number: 4641286
    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device in which at least a line decoder or a column decoder in multiplex form is provided to select one line selection signal or column selection signal. When the line decoder or column decoder is defective, or when the word line or bit line associated with the line decoder or column decoder involves a defective bit, the defective line decoder, column decoder, word line or bit line is inactivated. The inactivated line decoder or column decoder is replaced with an auxiliary line decoder or column decoder.

  • Patent number: 4586167
    Abstract: Disclosed is a semiconductor memory device which is operable in a selected one of page mode and nibble mode, depending upon the length of time in which an external column address strobe signal stays at a specific level. The semiconductor memory device comprises a circuit for discriminating the length of time where the external column address strobe signal is at a specific level with a predetermined period of time. Data is outputted in page mode in response to one of results of such discrimination and in nibble mode in response to the other result of the discrimination. The discriminating circuit may comprise a second internal column address strobe signal generator and a delay circuit. The second internal column address strobe signal generator includes a NAND circuit at its first stage, and the delay circuit is designed to have different delay times at the building-up and downward edges of an input signal applied thereto.

  • Patent number: 4575825
    Abstract: Disclosed is a semiconductor memory device which is one of three types of semiconductor memory devices, one operable only in page mode, one operable only in nibble and one operable selectively in page mode or nibble mode, being obtained from a partially unconnected semiconductor memory device through alternations in a portions in wiring. The semiconductor memory device includes first and second internal column address strobe signal generator. The second internal column address strobe signal generator has at the first stage thereof a NAND circuit one of inputs to which determines the type of the semiconductor memory device depending on which of three kinds of signals is selected as the input. Selection of such an input is effected by an aluminum wiring process using a mask. Such selection of the input causes variation in the input response characteristics of the output of the second internal column address strobe signal generator, thus providing a desired response appropriate for the selected mode or modes.
