摘要:
A dynamic memory having single element storage cells (20). One side of a plurality of gates (24,32) are connected to both ends of column lines (CLO to CL511) of the storage cell array. A plurality of sense amplifiers (SAO to SA511) are disposed along both ends of the column lines and connected to the other side of the gate circuits. In accordance with switching of the gate circuits, a part of the sense amplifiers are communicated with a part of the column lines so as to execute the refresh operation and read out or write in operation of the communicate storage cells. Also the remaining sense amplifiers are communicated with the remaining column lines to execute only the refresh operation of the storage cells coupled to the remaining column lines.

Die Erfindung hat die Aufgabe, einen - insbesondere als Adreßpuffer für schnelle dynamische RAM-Speicher geeigneten - Signal-Pegelwandler anzugeben, der mit einem Minimum an Verzögerungszeit arbeitet und in MOS-Technik mit Feldeffekttransistoren vom selben Typ ausgeführt ist. Die erfindungsgemäße Schaltung für einen Signal-Pegelwandler ist so ausgelegt, daß sie mittels eines Differenzverstärkers ein die Abweichung des Wirkungspegels des den Wandler steuernden externen Digitalsignals vom Wirkungspegel der intern in der über den Signal-Pegelwandler zu beaufschlagenden integrierten Halbleiterschaltung laufenden Digitalsignale angebendes Differenzsignal bildet und dieses zur Steuerung eines dynamisch betriebenen und mit zwei Signalausgängen versehenen Ausgangsschaltungsteils verwendet. Der Ausgangsschaltungsteil des Signal-Pegelwandlers besteht aus zwei am Bezugspotential liegenden RS-Flip-Flops sowie aus zwei MOS-Feldeffekttransistoren, deren Sourceanschlüsse je einen der beiden Signalausgänge bilden und mit dem nichtinvertierenden Ausgang je eines der beiden RS-Flip-Flops verbunden sind. Die Drainanschlüsse der beiden MOS-Feldeffekttransistoren werden gemeinsam durch ein Hilfssignal getaktet, während die Beaufschlagung der Ausgangsschaltung von seiten des Differenzverstärkers über die Gates der beiden MOS-Feld-effekttransistoren erfolgt.

摘要:
A quiet column decoder is provided which is useful in semiconductor memory systems. The quiet column decoder prevents glitches from being coupled into the silicon substrate during the period of time that the sense amplifiers (19) are sensing data on the bit sense lines (17, 18). The quiet column decoder has double clocked NOR gates (25) which allows the address lines (13) to be continuous nonmultiplexed lines. The double clocked NOR gate (25) has two transistors (26, 33) for precharging a first (27) and a second (34) node within the NOR gate. Another transistor (37) is coupled between the second node (34) and a voltage reference terminal (36) to serve as an enabling device for the NOR gate (25). The first node of the NOR gate serves as an output for the column decoder.

摘要:
Described is a memory system in which the memory core organization changes with device width. The number of physical memory banks accessed reduces with device width, resulting in reduced power usage for relatively narrow memory configurations. Increasing the number of logic memory banks for narrow memory widths reduces the likelihood of bank conflicts, and consequently improves speed performance.
