Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a memory circuit, and more particularly to a memory circuit having a data conversion circuit for enabling data written on a preliminary f line in a memory circuit The data obtained directly from the direct items on the memory cell supplemented by the preliminary word line are the same. [Prior Art] In the manufacture of the circuit, in order to avoid a small number of memory cell damage, the memory can not be used, and the circuit is designed to repair the damaged memory cell. In the :: body: = or = memory memory, the seam is driven by the word line and the bit line: and the mother-word line consumes the bit line, bl bit line (inversecj bit Line W) ^ > The memory cell time of 〆, , is the whole line of the line in the memory circuit. _ The role of the ritual array is due to the design of the ^ and the second bit line in the group also: "two / the first bit line and the second bit line design of the upper bad memory cell Word Line Memory Memory :: Line: Therefore, two word lines are replaced at a time when replacing. Although the method can be used for repairing, it is possible that the word line of the "" = or the word line of the second bit line = customer number·· 922617/13/20Ό6 The number of the office: 0548-A50294tw/final /brent : 二ΐ::, the word line of the first bit line or 1 (four) two two = 2,61=w count more preparatory word lines, increase 5 200805387 road area. Another way to repair a damaged word line is to replace the damaged word line directly with the prepared word line. Such a repair method does not cause problems in data storage for the user, but comes to the test machine. Said, because it is impossible to know that the sub-line of the repaired mussel is the word line of the one-line line of the light-handed brother or the word line of the two-dimensional line of the handle, and the bit of the spare line to be replaced is replaced. Whether the meta-line is in the same state (BL or 亘), when testing the memory, causes a judgment of the result error, so that the normal memory is judged to be abnormal memory and is scrapped, increasing the company's loss. • For example, if a piece of data is written to [00101] a word line coupled to the first bit line, the data of [00101] can be directly read on the word line. If today is stored in the word line coupled to the second bit line, then directly reading the data on the word line may read the data of [11010]. In the memory test process, it will continuously input 0 or 1, and observe whether the same 0 or 1 is read on the memory part of the memory. If the repaired bit line and the damaged bit line are in different states, it may be Causes input 0 and reads 1 but the memory is normal. So how to set up a mechanism to avoid this situation is necessary. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to solve the problem that when the bit line coupled between the damaged word line and the bit line connected by the repair word line is different in the memory circuit, the data cannot be known after being written into the repair word line. The question of its exact content. The present invention provides a memory circuit comprising a primary memory matrix, a primary decoding circuit, a primary drive circuit, a spare memory matrix, a spare decode circuit, a spare drive circuit, and a data processing circuit.

The above and other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the aspects of the appended claims. Embodiments Fig. 1 is a flow chart according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which step Si is receiving address data of a damaged word line, and step S11 is receiving a bit of an alternate word line for repairing the damaged word line. Step S12 is to compare the address data of the damaged word line and the address data of the spare word line to determine whether the damaged word line and the bit line coupled to the spare word line are the same as the first a bit line or a second bit line. Step S13 is to output a customer number according to the comparison result: 922617/13/2_handle: Q548-A5C) 294tw/final/brent 9 200805387 A control signal if the damaged word line The bit line coupled to the spare word line is the first bit line or the second bit line, and outputs a logic level control signal; if the damaged word line is coupled to the spare word line The bit line connected is different from the first bit line or the second bit line, then a control signal of a logic level 1. A data conversion circuit receives the control signal such that the bit data written to the spare word line is the same as the bit data read directly from the memory cell driven by the spare word line Figure 2 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. When data is to be written to or read from the memory device 20, it must pass through a data conversion device 27. The data conversion device 27 is coupled to the main The decoding circuit 25 and the alternate decoding circuit 26 are configured to transmit the address information to the corresponding primary decoding circuit 25 or to the alternate decoding circuit 26. The decoding circuit transmits the decoded poor material to the primary driving circuit 23 or the backup driving circuit 24 5 To drive the corresponding bit line in the main memory matrix 21 or the spare memory matrix 22. When reading data from the main memory matrix 21 or the spare memory matrix, the first stage sense amplifier 29 and the second stage sense amplifier are first transmitted. The signal is amplified and transmitted to the data conversion device 27. The φ data conversion device 27 has a fuse box (not shown) in which the main memory matrix 21 is stored. The damaged word line and the address data of the spare word line in the spare memory matrix for replacing the damaged word line. When in the write state, if the data conversion device 27 finds the written data, the original corresponding word line When the damage is replaced by the spare word line in the spare memory matrix 22, the data conversion device 27 first determines whether the damaged word line and the bit line to which the alternate word line are coupled are in the same state. If the states are the same, Write data is directly written; if the status is different, the data received by the second-stage sense amplifier 28 is reversed with the data received by the data conversion device 27. Customer ID: 922617/13/2006 0548-A50294tw/final/brent 10 200805387 When it is in the read state, if the data conversion device is replaced, the data conversion device 27 will first go to the word line of the word line of the spare sub-line in the age group. Line and substitute direct green enemies - your style, sundial a. If the state is the same, then the data is transferred to the squad-level sense amplifier 28, and the data conversion device 27 reverses the data when it is connected to the data. And the sensor amplifier 28 is shown in Figure 2 as the information in the second picture. The data conversion device 27 includes a fuse box (not shown) in the embodiment, and stores a main memory 21 line and a bit in the spare memory matrix for transferring the 子 用Address information. #When writing or reading data, 31 will check the address of the data to be written or read ^ address data in 441, if not, write or read directly through the write/read circuit data.

The write/read circuit 33 determines whether to make the second according to the control signal Level sense job||28 Receive~ Output, data and write/read circuit 33 written by person/read reverse. Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of write/read circuit 33 in Fig. 3. The write/read circuit 33 includes a mutex or gate 44 and a mutex or gate. The mutex or gate 44 has inputs 41 and 42 that receive the control signal generated by the comparator circuit 32. Used to receive the written customer number·· 922617/13/2006 The number of the company·· 0548-A50294tw/finai/brent 11 200805387 It is expected that the 'mutual exclusion' or the inter-44 also has an output 48, which is lightly connected to the second level. Amplifier 28. Mutant or gate 45 has inputs 46 and 47, and input 46 is used to receive the control signal generated by comparator circuit 32. 47 is coupled to the second stage sense amplifier 28 for receiving data, and the output end 43 is for outputting the data transmitted by the second stage sense amplifier 28. When the comparison circuit 32 determines that the damaged bit line and the spare bit line are the same When it is the first bit line or the second bit line, a signal of logic level 0 is output. At this time, the data of the input terminal 42 and the output terminal 48 are the same, and the data of the input terminal 47 and the output terminal 43 are the same. 32: When the damaged bit line and the spare bit line are different from the first bit line or the second bit line, a logic level 1 signal is output, and the data of the input end 42 and the output end 48 are mutually In order to invert, the data of the input terminal 47 and the output terminal 43 are also mutually inverted.
