SIGNAL MARGIN TEST MODE FOR FERAM WITH FERROELECTRIC REFERENCE CAPACITOR.
摘要
<p>The present invention provides a semiconductor memory test mode configuration. A first capacitor stores digital data and connects a cell plate line to a first bit-line through a first select transistor. The first select transistor is activated through a connection to a word line. At least one reference capacitor provides a reference voltage to a reference bit-line.. A sense amplifier .is connected to the first and reference bit-lines and measures a differential read signal on the first and reference bit-lines. A charge path reduces the differential read signal to determine the signal margin of the semiconductor memory.</p>
