A memory circuit includes an array subdivided into multiple divisions, each connectable to a corresponding set of access circuitry. A serializer/deserializer circuit is connected to a data bus and the access circuitry to convert data between a (word-wise) serial format on the bus and (multi-word) parallel format for the access circuitry. Column redundancy circuitry is connect to the serializer/deserializer circuit to provide defective column information about the array. In converting data from a serial to a parallel format, the serializer/deserializer circuit skips words of the data in the parallel format based on the defective column information indicating that the location corresponds to a defective column. In converting data from a parallel to a serial format the serializer/deserializer circuit skips words of the data in the parallel format based on the defective column information indicating that the location corresponds to a defective column. |
