    摘要: In a frequency multiplier and a method of multiplying a frequency of an external clock signal, a data output buffer, and a semiconductor device including the frequency multiplier and the data output buffer, the frequency multiplier receives an external clock signal having a predetermined frequency and outputs an internal clock signal having greater frequency than the predetermined frequency. In the semiconductor device, the data output buffer outputs data tested in response to test data. Therefore, it is possible to test a plurality of memory cells at a time by using a clock signal having a low frequency. In addition, the time and cost required for the test can be greatly reduced, and conventional testing equipment that operates at a relatively low frequency can be effectively used.

    摘要: Integrated circuit memory devices (e.g., SDRAM) include an input buffer and a power reduction control circuit which disables the input buffer in response to an inactive chip select signal (CSB). The input buffer comprises a first differential amplifier having a first input electrically coupled to an input signal line (PX) and a first pull-up transistor electrically connected in series between a pull-up reference node of the first differential amplifier and a power supply signal line (e.g., Vcc). The output of the power reduction control circuit is electrically connected to a gate electrode of the first pull-up transistor. The first pull-up transistor can be turned off in response to an inactive chip select signal (CSB=1), to thereby electrically disconnect the first differential amplifier from its power supply. The input buffer may also comprise a first pull-down transistor electrically connected in series between an output of the first differential amplifier and a reference potential signal line (e.g., GND) and the output of the power reduction control circuit is electrically connected to a gate electrode of the first pull-down transistor.
