Patent ID: 7133320

Claim:
A method for flood mode testing of at least one of a plurality of Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) cells, comprising: establishing a single continuous bitline; entering at least one of the plurality of SRAM cells into a write mode by using the continuous bitline; writing to at least one of the plurality of SRAM cells; placing at least one of the plurality of SRAM cells in a flood mode after at least one of the plurality of SRAM cells has been written to; precharging the continuous bitline in response to the flood mode; and leaving a wordline signal high after the continuous bitline has begun to be precharged, wherein placing at least one of the plurality of SRAM cells in a flood mode, further comprise implementing an enabling circuit that can at least enable flood mode in at least one of the plurality of SRAM cells, and wherein implementing an enabling circuit that can at least enable flood mode in at least one of the plurality of SRAM cells, further comprises: inputting the flood mode enable signal and a clock signal; configuring a delay block to at least accept the flood mode enable signal and the clock signal and output a flood mode write signal; and inputting the flood mode write signal into a write circuit.
