摘要:
A semiconductor integrated circuit device having a fuse-blown type ROM for storing information concerning defective bits for the replacement of defective bits in a semiconductor memory device, etc., with redundant bits. The integrated circuit device comprises fuses for constituting the ROM, pads for supplying a melting current to the fuses, and PN junctions each being formed, for example, by a semiconductor substrate and a diffusion layer formed on the semiconductor substrate. Each of the fuses is melted by applying voltage to a circuit connecting the PN junction, the fuse, and the pad so that the PN junction is forward biased, thereby supplying a large current to the fuse.

( A random access memory (DRAM) device formed on a semiconductor substrate having an array of memory cells (MC) which are divided in several sub-arrays (MCA 0 .. 3). The device has memory blocks each containing one of the subarrays, a word decoder (WDO .. 3) and column decoder (CDO .. 3). Each of the memory blocks (MC) is selected independently to perform an access operation and refresh operation. As long as different memory blocks (MC) are selected for respective operations, the both operations are performed in paralle, however when the same memory block (MC) is selected for both operations, namely double selected, a comparison circuit (43) detects the double selection and the priority to one of both operations are determined and perform the operation selected preferentially. Usually, the refresh oriented operation is allowed. However, in order to decrease 'busy ratio' of the device, the refresh access operations is performed preferentially. Further complicated operation for priority selection, is performed according to a predetermined schedule memorized in a priority providing means (46, 48). In addition, a common word bus line (CWLi) is proposed for accessing each memory blocks, namely each sub-arrays, in order to reduce common word lines for realizing a further high packing density of the DRAM device. This common bus line is also applicable to other device such as a static RAM.

A semiconductor memory device including at least two groups, each of said groups including a plurality of memory cell array blocks (CLAO, CLA1, ...). The number of the memory cell array blocks which are activated in one group is made different from the number of memory cell array blocks which is activated in another group by providing a sequential circuit (S1), thus reducing the maximum power consumption.

In a semiconductor memory device including word lines (WL) and bit lines (BL), a regular circuit area comprising elements regularly arranged in line with the word lines and/or the bit lines is divided into a plurality of blocks (1-1, 1-2). Provided between the divided blocks are irregular or peripheral circuit areas (2). Provided outside of the divided blocks are pads (P 1 to P 16 ).

57 A semiconductor memory device with shift registers used for a video RAM (1), including a memory cell array, bit lines (BL, BL), and word lines (WL), a pair of shift registers (3, 4), and transfer gate circuits (21,22) arranged between the bit lines and the shift registers. Each parallel data transfer circuit is provided between the shift registers for the parallel data transfer between the shift registers, so that high-speed reading and writing of data for a CRT display is realized.
摘要:
A semiconductor memory device having an operational mode such as a nibble mode or page mode, wherein, with a first address strobe signal (RAS) kept in an active state, a second address strobe signal (CAS) is successively switched between an active state and standby state, thereby enabling successive data output (Dout). Previous data output is once reset in accordance with the switchover of the second address strobe signal to the active state while the first address strobe signal is in the active state, before data output is performed, and the reset operation of the data output is also performed when both the first and second address strobe signals are switched to the standby state, so that the period of the output data can be expanded.
