Abstract
A memory device includes a system block for storing test information and includes a data block including memory cells connected to a plurality of low bank column lines and a plurality of high bank column lines. The memory device also includes a column repair controller configured to detect, based on the test information, a concurrent repair column line in which a low bank column line among the plurality of low bank column lines and a high bank column line the plurality of high bank column lines corresponding to the same column address are concurrent repaired.
Claims15
A memory device comprising:
- a system block for storing test information;
- a data block including memory cells connected to a plurality of low bank column lines and a plurality of high bank column lines;
- and
- a column repair controller configured to detect, based on the test information, a concurrent repair column line in which a low bank column line among the plurality of low bank column lines and a high bank column line the plurality of high bank column lines corresponding to the same column address are concurrent repaired.
A method of operating a memory device including a system block for storing test information and a data block including memory cells connected to a plurality of low bank column lines and a plurality of high bank column lines, the method comprising:
- storing packaging test information, which is included in test data stored in the system block, in a first register;
- storing wafer test information, which is included in the test data stored in the system block, in a second register;
- and
- detecting, based on the wafer test information and the packaging test information, a concurrent repair column line in which a low bank column line among the plurality of low bank column lines and a high bank column line the plurality of high bank column lines corresponding to the same column address are concurrent repaired.
A method of operating a memory controller for controlling a memory device, the method comprising:
- providing a reset command to the memory device;
- providing a status read command for requesting status information stored in the memory device;
- receiving the status information from the memory device;
- and
- storing information on whether the memory device is defective based on concurrent repair information included in the status information.
