Abstract

A memory integrated circuit chip of a predefined circuit topology has an on-chip topology logic driver. The topology logic driver selectively inverts data being written to and read from addressed memory cells in the memory IC based upon location of the addressed memory cells in the circuit topology of the memory array. The topology logic driver is preferably a logic circuit that embodies a boolean function defining the circuit topology. A method for testing and producing such memory ICs is also described.
