    Abstract: A memory device includes a memory cell array and a repair circuit configured to perform a repair operation and output a dirty signal to an external destination external to the memory device. The repair circuit further performs selecting a first redundancy address of the redundancy memory cells instead of a first fail address of the first failed memory cell, storing a first redundancy mapping for the first fail address to the first redundancy address, and in response to determining a second fail address of a second failed memory cell matches the first fail address, ignoring the first redundancy mapping, and outputting a dirty signal causing a second redundancy mapping to map the first fail address to a second redundancy address different from the first redundancy address of the redundancy memory cells.

    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes a semiconductor substrate having an active region of a first conductivity type defined by a device isolation layer, a first impurity region in the active region, an anti-fuse gate electrode on the semiconductor substrate and extending across the first impurity region, an anti-fuse gate dielectric layer between the anti-fuse gate electrode and the first impurity region, a selection gate electrode on the semiconductor substrate and extending across the active region, a selection gate dielectric layer between the selection gate electrode and the active region, and a second impurity region in the active region between the selection gate electrode and the anti-fuse gate electrode. The first and second impurity regions have impurities of a second conductivity type. The first impurity region has an impurity concentration less than the impurity concentration of the second impurity region.

    Abstract: A memory device including an interface circuit for data conversion according to different endian formats includes an interface circuit that performs data conversion with hardware in a data transfer path inside the memory device in accordance with a memory bank, a processing element (PE), and an endian format of a host device. The interface circuit is (i) between a memory physical layer interface (PHY) region and a serializer/deserializer (SERDES) region, (ii) between the SERDES region and the memory bank or the PE, (iii) between the SERDES region and a bank group input/output line coupled to a bank group including a number of memory banks, and (iv) between the PE and bank local input/output lines coupled to the memory bank.
