摘要:
A memory array for avoiding coupling noise in a cell plate voltage line. This memory array has first and second dummy word lines (DWL0, DWL1), first bit lines (BL), a first dummy memory cell (DMC0) connected between the first dummy word line (DWL0) and a common cell plate voltage line (VL), second bit lines (BLB), and a second dummy memory cell (DMC1) connected between the second dummy word line (DWL1) and a voltage line (Vl). When the first data is written into the first memory cell (MC0), the second dummy data with a polarity opposite to that of the first data is written into the second dummy memory cell (DMC1). When the second data is written into each of the second memory cell (MC), the first dummy data with a polarity opposite to that of the second data is written into each of the first dummy memory cell

A signal transmission system is constructed to transmit data over a signal transmission line without requiring precharging the signal transmission line for every bit, by eliminating the intersymbol interference component introduced by preceding data. The signal transmission line has a plurality of switchable signal transmission lines organized in a branching structure or a hierarchical structure, at least one target unit from which to read data is connected to each of the plurality of signal transmission lines, and a readout circuit including a circuit for eliminating the intersymbol interference component is connected to the signal transmission line, wherein the intersymbol interference component elimination circuit reduces noise introduced when switching the signal transmission line among the plurality of signal transmission lines, and thereby provides a smooth intersymbol interference component elimination operation when the signal transmission line is switched. This makes continuous readout possible and achieves an increase in the overall speed of the signal transmission system.

An object of the invention is to obtain a memory array capable of preventing coupling noise from being produced on a cell plate voltage line. A memory array of the invention comprises: first and second dummy word lines (DWL0 and DWL1); a first dummy memory cell (DMC0) connected to a first bit line (BL), the first dummy word line (DWL0) and a common cell plate voltage line (VL) ; and a second dummy memory cell (DMC1) connected to a second bit line (BLB), the second dummy word line (DWL1) and the voltage line (VL), wherein second dummy data having opposite polarity to polarity of first data are written in the second dummy memory cell (DMC1) so as to write the first data in a first memory cell (MC0), and first dummy data having opposite polarity to polarity of second data are written in the first dummy memory cell (DMC0) so as to write the second data in a second memory cell (MC1).

A memory (26) includes an address bus (ADDRESS), address counter (14), address decoder (38), comparator (18), and control circuit (24). During a data read or write cycle, the address bus (ADDRESS) receives an external address, the address counter (14) generates an internal address, which the address decoder (38) decodes, and the comparator (18) compares the external address to a value. Based on the relationship between the external address and the value, the comparator (18) enables or disables the data transfer. For example, such a memory (26) can terminate a page-mode read/write cycle by determining when the current external column address is no longer equal to the current internal column address. This allows the system to terminate the cycle after a predetermined number of data transfers by setting the external column address to a value that does not equal the internal column address. Alternatively, the comparator (18) can compare the external or internal address to a predetermined end address, and the memory (26) can terminate the cycle when the external or internal address equals the end address.

Apparatuses and methods for variable latency memory operations are disclosed herein. An example apparatus may include a memory configured to provide first information during a variable latency period indicating the memory is not available to perform a command, wherein the first information is indicative of a remaining length of the variable latency period, the remaining length is one of a relatively short, normal, or long period of time, the memory configured to provide second information in response to receiving the command after the latency period.

A Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) performs, read, write, and refresh operations. The DRAM includes a plurality of sub-arrays (504), each having a plurality of memory cells (604), each of which is coupled with a complementary bit line pair and a word line. The DRAM further includes a word line enable device (911) for asserting a selected one of the word lines and a column select device for asserting a selected one of the bit line pairs. A timing circuit (908,910,912) is provided for controlling the word line enable device, the column select device, and the read, write, and refresh operations in response to a word line timing pulse (WTPi). The read, write, and refresh operation are performed in the same amount of time.
