Redundant address decoder

摘要

A comparator 5 outputs a match signal EQ and a redundancy selection signal with active when an address A4 to A0 is a redundant address in order to select a redundant word line RWL0 or RWL1 for replacing word line WL0 or WL1. A decoder 61 supplies a potential VCC+ alpha to a drain of an FET 60 when both the match signal EQ and the redundancy selection signal S0 are active. A gate driver 62 supplies a high potential VCC to the gate of the FET 60 for turning ON the FET 60 when the redundancy selection signal S0 is active.
