Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a mode setting circuit configured to allocate any one of values to a mode signal based on an event signal, an address converter configured to generate a conversion address by converting at least one address based on the mode signal, and a memory circuit configured to perform an operation corresponding to the conversion address.
Claims20
A semiconductor device comprising:
- a mode setting circuit configured to allocate any one of values to a mode signal based on an event signal;
- an address converter configured to generate a conversion address by converting at least one address based on the mode signal;
- and
- a memory circuit configured to perform an operation corresponding to the conversion address,
- wherein the mode setting circuit includes:
- an increase signal generator configured to generate an increase signal based on the event signal;
- and
- a counter configured to increase a value of the mode signal based on the increase signal.

A semiconductor device comprising:
- a mode setting circuit configured to allocate any one of a plurality of values to a mode signal based on an event signal;
- an address converter configured to generate a conversion address by converting an address or an internal address;
- a memory circuit configured to perform an operation corresponding to the conversion address;
- and
- a spare memory circuit configured to store data stored in the memory circuit based on the mode signal, transmit the stored data to the memory circuit while transmitting the internal address to the address converter, and thus store the data in the conversion address of the memory circuit.

A semiconductor device comprising:
- a mode setting circuit configured to allocate any one value selected from among a plurality of values to a mode signal based on an event signal, wherein the selected value is different from a previous value from among the plurality of values;
- and
- an address converter configured to generate different conversion addresses through conversion of a same address, and output any one of the plurality of conversion addresses based on the mode signal,
- wherein the mode setting circuit includes:
- an increase signal generator configured to generate an increase signal based on the event signal;
- and
- a counter configured to increase a value of the mode signal based on the increase signal.
