  • Patent number: 6590815
    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device and method for its test is disclosed including a CBR (CAS before RAS) refresh test achieved by inputting a CBR command for every redundant word line to be selected. In this way, redundant word lines may be selected without repetition until all of the redundant word lines have been selected. By doing so, an accurate determination of the refresh period may be obtained. A CBR refresh counter (15) may be activated every time a control signal is received when a refresh test on redundant memory cells (RC) is performed. Redundant counter signals (RCNT0 to RCNT5) may be applied to a X address buffer (2A). X address buffer (2A) may select the redundant counter signals (RCNT0 to RCNT5) to sequentially select the redundant word lines (RWL0 to RWL63) when a redundant refresh test is performed.

  • Patent number: 6256443
    Abstract: An optical fiber distribution module having a connection board, optical connector adaptors and a storage section is provided. An array of the optical connector adaptors forms the connection board, where the optical connectors connect in-use optical fibers. The storage section, located in a separate section of the module, stores optical fibers which are not-in use. The optical fiber distribution module also includes a plurality of cord sorting boards having a plurality of fiber cord passageways. The fiber cord passageways are configured to accommodate and retain at least one optical fiber such that the optical fiber is arranged between the connection board and the storage section. In addition, both the in-use and not-in use optical fibers insert into the fiber cord passageway.
