Method of and apparatus for measuring information hold time of memory cell in dynamic MIS memory

摘要

In a MIS dynamic memory, information is written in the memory cell at a predetermined address, the access to other plural addresses is made for a fixed time period under such a condition that the memory cell of the predetermined address is not refreshed, and the stored information is thereafter read out of the memory cell of the predetermined address. The level of the read information is compared with a predetermined threshold value, thereby determining the information hold time of the memory cell.
