Claims
- 1. A semiconductor memory device comprising:
- a plurality of lines each connected to memory cells;
- a spare enable signal generation circuit including a plurality of address programming circuits each for programming a defective address associated with a defective line of said plurality of lines, for generating a common spare enable signal in response to outputs of the plurality of address programming circuits; and
- a plurality of spare decoders receiving the common spare enable signal in common, each for selecting a spare line connected to spare memory cells in response to the common spare enable signal and a corresponding block select signal.
- 2. A semiconductor memory device comprising:
- a plurality of lines each connected to memory cells; and
- a plurality of programming circuits each for programming a defective address associated with a defective line of said plurality of lines, and only a part of said plurality of programming circuits each being enabled to output a valid result signal.
- 3. The semiconductor memory device according to claim 2, wherein each of said plurality of programming circuits provides the valid result designating whether the defective address programmed by the programming circuit and an externally applied address are in agreement when enabled.
- 4. The semiconductor memory device according to claim 2, wherein outputs of said plurality of programming circuits are coupled to a common node provided in common to said plurality of programming circuits.
- 5. A semiconductor memory device comprising:
- a plurality of lines each connected to memory cells;
- a plurality of programming circuits each for programming a defective address associated with a defective line of said plurality of lines and producing a detecting result designating whether the defective address and an externally applied address are in agreement; and
- a spare control line provided in common to said plurality of programming circuits and transmitting a spare control signal in response to the detecting results.
