A redundancy selector circuit for use in a non-volatile memory device
include a ROM cell array, in which defective addresses are stored,
including a plurality of ROM cells arranged in a matrix of rows and
columns; a ROM controller for sequentially selecting rows of the ROM cell
array at power-up; a sense amplifier block for sensing and amplifying
data bits from ROM cells of the respective rows selected sequentially
according to the control of the ROM controller; a latch block for
receiving data bits sensed by the sense amplifier block through a switch
circuit and latching the input data bits as a defective address; and a
comparator block for detecting whether an address input in a normal
operation matches one of the defective addresses stored in the latch
block. As the rows are sequentially selected, the defective addresses of
the ROM cell array are transferred to the latch block through the sense
amplifier block by means of serial transfer.
