摘要:
A semiconductor integrated circuit device (100) is provided with data outputting buffers (310.1 to 310.j) for respective data input-output terminals. Each buffer (310.i) is supplied with a power supply potential and a grounding potential from a power supply wiring and two systems of grounding wiring connected to independent power supply pads and grounding potential supply pads, respectively. When the device (100) outputs a signal of "H" level, each data outputting buffer supplies an electric current to the corresponding data outputting terminal through the two systems of power supply wiring. Therefore, the current flowing through each system of power supply wiring is suppressed and the noise generated in the power supply wiring and in the grounding wiring is reduced.

An output circuit outputs data from an output terminal Dout after the potential at the terminal Dout is set at a prescribed intermediate value between the potential at the power source line and that at the ground line. The output circuit is provided with an output driving means (30) composed of first and second transistors (31 and 32). The first transistor (31) is provided with a first control terminal DP to which a first control signal is inputted and the second transistor (32) is provided with a second control terminal DN to which a second control signal is inputted. The output circuit is also provided with a setting means (22) which turns the transistors (31 and 32) off by controlling the first and second control signals and a short-circuiting means (50) which short-circuits either of the control terminals DP and DN to the output terminal Dout. Before the data are outputted, after the transistors (31 and 32) are turned off by the setting means (22), the potential of the output terminal Dout is set at the intermediate value by short-circuiting the control terminal DP or DN to the output terminal Dout by means of the short-circuiting means (50).

For use in a semiconductor circuit device, a uniquely-arranged tri-state output buffer (12) responds to a control signal generated in the semiconductor circuit device and a below-ground voltage level at an output terminal to prevent wasted drain current and substrate current, and reduce capacitance at the pull-up node driving the output terminal. The output buffer includes a power supply signal providing at least one voltage level with respect to common; an output terminal; a first circuit responding to the control signal by providing a first control voltage on a pull-up node; and a second circuit responding to the control signal by providing a second control voltage on a pull-down node. Further, the output buffer includes a pull-up transistor (60), responsive to the voltage on the pull-up node and coupled between the power supply signal and the output terminal; a pull-down transistor (50), responsive to the voltage on the pull-down node and coupled between common and the output terminal.
摘要:
Die Erfindung betrifft einen statischen Speicher mit mehreren Hierarchieebenen (H0...H3). Hierfür werden günstige Realisierungsmöglichkeiten angegeben, da der Flächenaufwand für die Ansteuer- und Ausleseschaltungen in der zweiten Hierarchieebene (H1) besonders kritisch sind. Vorteilhaft werden hierbei Speicherzellen eingesetzt, die ein starkes Zellsignal liefern, so daß ein geringer Aufwand in der Leseschaltung nötig ist. Durch Verlagerung von Peripherieschaltungen in höherer Hierarchieebenen ergibt sich eine verringerte Zugriffszeit und ein verringerter Flächenbedarf.

摘要:
To overcome the bandwidth limitation of a random access memory (RAM), a shift register (20) is disposed within the memory array (1) such that the shift register lies parallel to the row lines and is connected to at least one of the bit lines contained within the array. Separate high-speed serial input and output lines (21, 22) are provided by the shift register. These lines are in addition to and operate independently of the slower speed input and output lines normally provided by the RAM. Through this arrangement, a row of data can be transferred to and from the memory array at a rate substantially faster than the single-bit access rate of the RAM.
