Abstract

See full text

A semiconductor memory comprises four arrays (10), (12), (14) and (16) disposed on a single semiconductor chip. Each of the arrays has a serial shift register (86) associated therewith. Data is transferred from the bit lines of the associated array through a transfer gate (90) for storage in the shift register (86). A tap latch (88) is provided on the output of each of the shift bits in the shift register (86) for determining the output therefrom. The tap latch (88) stores a tap decode signal which is decoded from a tap address by the column decoder (30). The column decoder (30) also decodes the column address in the random mode. The tap decode signal selects any of the shift bits in the shift register (86).
