Abstract

The present invention relates to a memory repair circuit and a repairable pseudo-dual port static random access memory (pseudo-dual port SRAM). The memory repair circuit uses fewer redundant column blocks and stores a few failed block addresses to reduce the required complexity of decoding the redundant column blocks. Thus, the present invention can reduce a layout area required by redundant memory cells.
