  • Patent number: 9202541
    Abstract: A semiconductor apparatus according to an aspect of the present invention includes first and second bus-interface circuits, a mode information storage unit that stores first and second mode information, the first and second mode information being able to be set through the first bus-interface circuit, a first memory core that operates based on the first mode information, the first memory core being connected to the first bus-interface circuit and supplied with a first clock signal, a second memory core, the second memory core being supplied with a second clock signal and a select circuit that selectively connects the second memory core to the first or second bus-interface circuit based on predetermined switching information, in which the second memory core operates based on the second mode information when the second memory core is connected to the second bus-interface circuit.

  • Publication number: 20080191990
    Abstract: A driver includes a first memory including a plurality of memory cells and redundant memory cells. An address control circuit replaces a defective memory cell of the plurality of memory cells with one of the redundant memory cells based on a defect address data indicating an address of the defective memory cell. A driving circuit displays on a display panel, a display data stored in the first memory based on a display quality specifying data specifying display quality of the display panel. The display quality specifying data and the defect address data are stored in a second memory.

  • Publication number: 20070243684
    Abstract: The semiconductor device includes a reference voltage generator circuit and a circuit different from the reference voltage generator circuit. A semiconductor element of the reference voltage generator circuit has a channel region where a substrate impurity concentration is substantially uniform at least in the vicinity of a drain region. A semiconductor element of the circuit different from the reference voltage generator circuit has a channel region where a substrate impurity concentration is higher than in other part of the region at least in the drain region.
