  • Patent number: 10024915
    Abstract: A semiconductor device may include an inversion control signal generation circuit, a pattern control signal generation circuit, and a data input/output (I/O) circuit. The inversion control signal generation circuit may generate an inversion control signal according to a logic level combination of bit patterns included in at least one of a first address and a second address. The pattern control signal generation circuit may generate a pattern control signal from a pre-control signal in response to the inversion control signal. In response to the pattern control signal, the data input/output (I/O) circuit may generate data signals that will be output to an internal I/O line based on data signals loaded on a local I/O line.

  • Patent number: 10014073
    Abstract: A semiconductor device may include a syndrome generation circuit and a failure detection circuit. The syndrome generation circuit may generate a syndrome signal corresponding to a pattern of an output data signal. The failure detection circuit may detect the syndrome signal and sequentially store the syndrome signal to generate a first syndrome signal and a second syndrome signal if an error is detected from the syndrome signal. The failure detection circuit may generate a failure detection signal which is enabled if a logic level combination of the first syndrome signal is different from a logic level combination of the second syndrome signal.
