Semiconductor memory system

摘要

A defect remedy LSI mounted on a memory module, comprising: an input interface portion for capturing address and control signals, the input interface portion being the same as that of a dynamic RAM; an input/output interface portion corresponding to a data bus of a memory device comprised of a plurality of dynamic random access memories; a memory circuit to which a chip address and an X defective address of any of the plurality of random access memories are electrically written, the memory circuit being substantially made nonvolatile; a redundancy remedy RAM portion composed of a static RAM wherein a word line is selected by a compare match signal between an X address signal and the defective address of the memory circuit, the X address signal and the defective address being captured via the input interface portion, and a column is selected by a Y address signal captured via the input interface portion; a selecting portion for connecting a data input/output bus of the redundancy remedy RAM portion to an input/output circuit corresponding to a defective chip address; a data input/output portion for selectively activating an input/output circuit to be connected to a data bus corresponding to a dynamic RAM found defective; and a mask portion for outputting a control signal for putting in a high-impedance state an output pin of the defective RAM in a read operation.
