A DRAM controller comprises an address output controller (30) for transferring an address-designating signal to a dynamic RAM, a data output controller (32, 34, 36) for transferring data to be written into and read-out from that memory region of the dynamic RAM which is designated by the address-designating signal, and a control circuit responsive to a mode-designating signal for generating various control signals corresponding to an access mode of the dynamic RAM designated by the mode-designating signal, and supplying the control signals to the dynamic RAM, address output controller (30), and data output controller (32, 34, 36) in a predetermined sequence. In the DRAM controller, the control circuit includes a signal-generating unit (50B) for generating the control signals in a specific access mode which requires an access time longer than the machine cycle of a processor for generating the address-designating signal, the data to be written, and the mode-designating signal, and for delaying the generating of the control signals every time the designation of the specific access mode is repeated.

Selection logic (1) responds to 7 out of 22 address bits on a bus (19) to select the module by providing a signal SETRAS, delayed by a signal PRECHG if the same row is address twice in succession. SETRAS generates a row address strobe RAS, a recognition signal ANYRAS and, after a delay (11), a column address signal CAS 16 address bits held in a latch (3) are multiplexed 8 bits at a time a multiplexer (4) and, in synchronism with RAS and CAS select locations in even and odd memory arrays (16 and 17). Two more address bits and selection logic (20) select between four planes in each array. The memory controller responds to the recognition signal ANYRAS to provide an output strobe DOUTSTB - DOUTLTCH to enter both read out words into latches (7, 8). Either (or both in sequence) of further signals from the controller DRVDOUTO, cause one or both words to be read out in sequence to the data bus (18).

A semiconductor dynamic memory device includes a plurality of memories (12-1 to 12-4), row decoders (16-1 to 16-4) for selecting the row of the memories, column decoders (14-1 and 14-2) for selecting the column of memories, and sense amplifier circuits (18-1 to 18-4) connected to the memories, respectively. The dynamic memory device further has a driving circuit (24) for selectively activating some of the sense amplifier circuits (18-1 to 18-4) in accordance with the content of a predetermined bit of row address data supplied to the row decoders.
摘要:
In a portable computer having an extension bus connector connected to a system bus, and a memory connected to an internal bus, and requiring a refresh operation, whether or not an extension unit is connected to the extension bus connector is checked. When the extension unit is connected to the extension bus connector, a refresh signal is output onto the system bus. When the extension unit is not connected to the extension bus connector, the refresh signal is output onto the internal bus. Only when the extension unit is connected to the extension bus connector, the refresh signal is output onto the system bus. When the refresh cycle of a memory incorporated in the portable computer is longer than that of a memory connected to the extension unit, the presence/absence of connection of the extension unit is detected, and a refresh mode is set to be a normal refresh mode.
