Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the number of input control signals and to enable the software error mount evaluation of a high-speed area by making a read cycle into an RAS only refresh cycle. CONSTITUTION:For the software error evaluating method of a dynamic RAM, instead of the execution of the read cycle for which RAS, CMA, row address and column address are required to be controlled, the RAS only refresh cycle is used and for the cycle, it is enough to control the RAS and row address only. Namely, Data are written over the whole surface of a cell and RAS only refresh is executed to the Data. Then, even when the data are inverted by software error, the data are held as the inverted data. Accordingly, when data decision is desired, the data are read. Thus, the software error mount evaluation can be realized in the high-speed area.
