Appeal No. 1999-1796
Application 08/705,149
Claims 48-51
Claim 48 is a method which includes the step of
"controlling the self refreshing of the semiconductor memory
by providing self refresh test mode control signals to the
memory from a testing device external to the memory during the
self refresh test mode of the memory" (emphasis added). Kang
does not disclose "controlling the self refreshing"; Kang only
monitors whether a complete cycle of the internal refresh
address signals has been generated. Kang also does not
disclose controlling of any type by providing external
"control signals . . . during the self refresh test mode of
the memory" (emphasis added). Once a self refresh operation
mode is begun in Kang, the system ignores external signals.
The rejection of claim 48, and its dependent claims 49-51, is
reversed.
