  • Patent number: 11157354
    Abstract: A DRAM device includes first terminals, second terminals, third terminals, a control signal generator, a CRC unit, a row decoder, a column decoder, and a memory cell array. The control signal generator generates a control signal. The CRC unit performs a first CRC logical operation on a first data group including qn-bit first data generated by inputting n-bit first data q times, generates a first CRC result signal, performs a second CRC logical operation on a second data group including qn-bit second data by inputting n-bit second q times, generates a second CRC result signal, and generates an error signal based on the first CRC result signal and the second CRC result signal. The error signal is generated based on the second CRC result signal regardless of the first CRC result signal in response to the control signal.

  • Patent number: 8730751
    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device for controlling an operation of a delay-locked loop (DLL) circuit is provided. The semiconductor memory device includes a DLL circuit that receives an external clock signal and that performs a locking operation on the external clock signal and an internal clock signal, thereby obtaining a locked state. A control unit controls the DLL circuit to constantly maintain the locked state during an updating period of an auto-refresh period of an auto-refresh operation for refreshing memory banks.

  • Publication number: 20130003477
    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device including an antifuse cell array and a spare antifuse cell array are provided. An antifuse cell array includes a first set of antifuse cells arranged in a first direction and each one of the first set of antifuse cells is connected to a corresponding one of first through nth word lines. The spare antifuse cell array includes a first spare set of antifuse cells arranged in the first direction and each one of the first spare set of antifuse cells is connected to a corresponding one of first through kth spare word lines. A first operation control circuit is configured to program antifuses of the antifuse cell array and the spare antifuse cell array, and to read a status of each of the antifuses. The first operation control circuit is commonly connected to the first set of antifuse cells and the first spare set of antifuse cells.
