ABSTRACT:
A standby current detecting circuit for use in a semiconductor memory device and method thereof are described. The memory device has a plurality of memory cells arranged at crossing points of a plurality of word lines and a plurality of bit lines. A plurality of switches are associated with each memory cell. A current path supplies current to each memory cell through the switch associated with each memory cell. A plurality of decoders are provided with each decoder for detecting a standby current supplied on one such current path for the memory cell. Each decoder includes control logic for selectively opening and isolating the switch associated with the memory cell in a standby current detection mode.
