A semiconductor integrated circuit including a memory unit for storing address information of a failed circuit portion and for replacing the failed circuit portion by a redundant circuit portion. The semiconductor integrated circuit provides a comparison unit for detecting coincidence between data read from the memory unit and a received input address. Data produced from the comparison by the comparison unit is delivered through an external connection terminal.

Semiconductor integrated circuit with redundant circuit replacement

A semiconductor integrated circuit which includes therein at least one inspection circuit for inspecting a voltage level produced at an internal node to be inspected. The inspection circuit has at least a control signal input portion connected to the internal node to be inspected and an input part connected to an external input/output pin. The inspection circuit includes a series-connected transistor and diode connected between a power source and the input portion, a capacitor connected between a gate of the transistor and the input portion, and a transfer gate transistor connected between the control signal input portion and the gate of the transistor. The inspection circuit discriminates the level at the internal node according to a flow or nonflow of a current, via the external input/output pin, when a particular signal having a voltage level higher than the power source level is supplied to the external input/output pin.

Semiconductor integrated circuit

An MIS transistor circuit which is operated alternately in a reset state and in an active state, comprises a voltage holding circuit for holding a power supply voltage applied in each reset state so as to provide a clamped voltage. The clamped voltage is applied during each active state to the desired nodes of the MIS transistor circuit as an actual power supply voltage, whereby error operation due to voltage fluctuation of the power supply voltage is prevented.

MIS transistor circuit

A semiconductor device comprising a substrate voltage-generating circuit which has an oscillating circuit and a pumping circuit. The substrate voltage-generating circuit also has a control circuit for controlling the application of the output signal of the oscillating circuit to the pumping circuit and a terminal electrode for receiving an external signal to control the control circuit and to stop the application of the output signal of the oscillating circuit to the pumping circuit.

A dynamic random access memory device which comprises one-transistor, one-capacitor-type memory cells (C.sub.00 .about.C.sub.127,127) in rows and columns and dummy cells (DC.sub.20 '.about.DC.sub.2,127 ', DC.sub.20 '.about.DC.sub.2,127 ', DC.sub.20 ''.about.DC.sub.2,127 '') in rows. The capacitors (C.sub.d) of the dummy cells are charged to a high power supply potential (V.sub.CC) by one or more charging transistors (Q.sub.A or Q.sub.A ') clocked by a reset clock signal (.phi..sub.R). The capacitors (C.sub.d) of the dummy cells are discharged to a low power supply potential (V.sub.SS) by one or more transistors (Q.sub.B or Q.sub.B ') clocked by an operation clock signal (.phi..sub.WL) having a potential lower than the high power supply potential (V.sub.CC).

Dynamic random access memory device

A bias-voltage generator suitable for measuring a substrate leakage current is disclosed. The bias-voltage generator comprises of an oscillator, a charge-pumping circuit which is driven by the oscillator via a pumping capacitor, and a charge-pumping switch. The charge-pumping switch is connected in series with the charge-pumping circuit. The charge-pumping switch cooperates with an external electrode for controlling the ON or OFF condition of the charge pumping circuit. The charge-pumping switch is turned OFF by the external electrode becoming a floating state and a resistor employed to ensure the charge pumping switch is inoperable after the above-mentioned measurement is completed and the circuit is shipped from the factory.
