    Abstract: A delay circuit of a semiconductor memory device includes a delay chain, a first phase converter and a second phase converter. The delay chain is connected between an input terminal and an output terminal, includes 2N delay cells, and delays a first intermediate signal to generate a second intermediate signal. The first phase converter is connected to the input terminal, and provides the first intermediate signal to the delay chain, wherein the first intermediate signal is generated by inverting a phase of an input signal or by maintaining the phase of the input signal in response to a control signal. The second phase converter is connected to the output terminal, and generates an output signal by inverting a phase of the second intermediate signal or by maintaining the phase of the second intermediate signal in response to the control signal.

  • Patent number: 9959935
    Abstract: An input-output circuit includes a reception circuit and a register circuit. The reception circuit operates in accordance with a normal write protocol commonly in a normal write mode and a test write mode. The reception circuit receives a plurality of input signals to generate a plurality of latch signals. The register circuit generates a plurality of test result signals based on the latch signals in the test write mode. The input-output circuit may perform the multiple-input shift register (MISR) function in accordance with the normal write path and the normal write protocol. The MISR function may be performed efficiently without consideration of additional timing adjustment for the test write operation because the MISR function is performed under the same timing condition as the normal write operation.
