Patent attributes
An option circuit of a semiconductor chip includes a first option circuit that is set before packaging the semiconductor chip to generate a first option signal; a second option circuit that is set after packaging the semiconductor chip to generate a second option signal; and a selection circuit configured to: select one of the first option signal, the second option signal, and a mode register set signal in response to at least one first control signal; and output a first selected signal as a final option signal. An option method of a semiconductor chip includes setting a first option mode of the semiconductor chip by use of the first option circuit; setting a second option mode of the semiconductor chip by use of the second option circuit; and determining a final option mode of the semiconductor chip by selection of the first option mode or the second option mode.
