A dynamic random access memory device is capable of converting from a full
density memory device to a reduced density memory device. The reduced
density memory device compensates for cell failures in a plurality of
cell blocks, regardless of the location of the cell failures. The memory
device includes a row address mapping fuse for selectively determining
row address combinations capable of storing data bits. A row address
mapping logic is coupled to the row address mapping fuse and is capable
of routing data bits to the address combinations capable of storing data
bits.
