Abstract

See full text

Proposed as a configuration, a controlling method, and a testing method for a ferroelectric shadow memory are (1) a bit line non-precharge method, in which no precharging of a bit line is performed during a read/write operation; (2) a plate line charge share method, in which electric charge is shared between plate lines that are driven sequentially during store/recall operation; (3) a word line boost method, in which the potential on a word line is raised during a write operation; (4) a plate line driver boost method, in which the driving capacity of a plate line driver is raised during a store/recall operation; and (5) a testing method for detecting a defect in a ferroelectric capacitor by arbitrarily setting a potential on a bit line from outside a chip.
