    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device with a built-in cache memory comprises a memory cell array (1). The memory cell array (1) is divided into a plurality of blocks (B1 to B16). Each block is divided into a plurality of sub blocks each having a plurality of columns. At the time of a cache hit, block address signals (B0, B1) and a column address signal (CA) are simultaneously applied. Any of the plurality of blocks (B1 to B16) is selected in response to the block address signals (B0, B1). At the same time, any of the plurality of registers (16a) corresponding to the selected block is selected in response to the column address signal (CA). The data stored in the register (16a) is thereby read out at a high speed

    Abstract: A DRAM for use in a simple cache memory system comprises a memory cell array divided into a plurality of blocks, a plurality of data registers provided corresponding to the respective blocks of the array for latching memory cell data of the corresponding blocks, and a selector responsive to a row address strobe signal for selecting access to either the data registers or the memory cell array. Upon cache hit, the row address strobe signal is inactivated to cause the selector to select the access to the data registers. Upon cache miss, the row address strobe signal is activated to cause the selector to select the access to the memory cell array.

    Abstract: A dynamic random access memory with a fast serial access mode for use in a simple cache system includes a plurality of memory cell blocks prepared by division of a memory cell array, a plurality of data latches each provided for each column in the memory cell blocks and a block selector. When a cache miss signal is produced by the cache system, data on the column in the cell block selected by the block decoder are transferred into the data latches provided for the columns in the selected block after selection. When a cache hit signal is produced by the cache system, the data latches are isolated from the memory cell array. Accessing is made to at least one of the data latches based on an externally applied column address on cache hit, and to at least one of the columns in the selected block based on the column address on cache miss.

    Abstract: A semiconductor memory comprises memory cells (15-18, 27-30), a data writing terminal (1), a data readout terminal (48), transistors (3-10, 35-42), address signal input terminals (23-26), subdecode signal input terminals (43-46), driving signal generating circuits (49-52), parallel readout circuits (79-82) and test mode switching signal input terminal (53, 88). In writing of function test data for the memory cells, the driving signal generating circuits turn all of the transistors (3-10) on in response to a test mode switching signal with no regard to address signals, thereby to simultaneously write data in the memory cells (15-18). Further, in readout of the function test data for the memory cells, the parallel readout circuits read the storage contents of the memory cells (27-30) storing the test data in response to a test mode switching signal with no regard to subdecode signals. Logic circuit means (90, 91, 94) may be provided to output logical value corresponding to the test data stored in the memory cells when all of the logical values of the test data are at the same level.
