Abstract

See full text

A memory system including a memory array with redundant wordlines. The memory system includes a memory wordline tester that determines if any of the wordlines exhibits a defect. The memory system also includes decoder redundancy logic that efficiently couples to wordline shift logic using a reduced number of control signal lines therebetween. The shift logic shifts defective wordlines to upstream wordlines in the array to bypass the defective wordlines.
