    摘要: There is provided a method of controlling an internal address signal of an RAM in which a late-write method is realized on a chip. Two sets of address registers for reading and writing are provided for each address and further a middle register is provided between the two sets of address registers. The middle register is controlled by a signal formed by obtaining the AND result of a clock signal and a write enable signal and the two sets of address registers for reading and writing are controlled only by the clock signal. A selection circuit selects outputs of the two sets of address registers as an input in accordance with the write enable signal to control an internal address.

    摘要: A constant current source is connected in series to a current source circuit including a MOS transistor which is used as a current source for a differential output amplifier circuit, an emitter follower circuit or a source follower circuit used with a semiconductor integrated circuit. In a multiplex circuit, an input signal is inputted to each of base terminals of a plurality of bipolar transistors. When one input signal is selected, the bipolar transistor corresponding to the selected input signal is made to be operable with an input signal from a signal input terminal by a control circuit. The bipolar transistors corresponding to the non-selection input signals are turned OFF irrespective of potential levels of the individual input signals by current drawing circuits. There is also disclosed a semiconductor memory circuit having a plurality of memory cells, a memory cell selection scheme and a sense amplifier for amplifying data outputted from the selected memory cell, in which a constant current circuit is provided in series connection to the sense amplifier to enhance the performance characteristics of the memory circuit. Also, a plural memory array scheme is disclosed which employs multiplexing techniques connected to presense amplifier circuits of the respective memory arrays.

    摘要: A multiplex circuit is disclosed in which a plurality of bipolar transistors are combined and in which the respective base terminals thereof are used as inputs, thereby to construct an emitter follower type multiplex circuit. In such an emitter follower type multiplex circuit, the multiplexing function of non-selection/selection is effected by controlling the base potential of the respective bipolar transistors by providing a MOS transistor between each base and a high potential of the power source through a resistor and a current drawing circuit. In accordance with such a scheme, when a selection of one input signal is made, the bipolar transistor corresponding thereto is permitted to turn ON on the basis of an input signal supplied to the base terminal thereof. The bipolar transistors corresponding to the non-selection input signals are maintained OFF, through activating the current drawing circuits associated therewith, irrespective of the potential levels of the incoming input signals supplied to the base terminals thereof. In the emitter follower type multiplex circuit, a constant current source is also provided between the commonly connected emitters of the bipolar transistors and the power source of low potential. The multiplex arrangement effected can be of the collector dot type multiplex circuit. Such multiplex circuits are used with a semiconductor integrated circuit such as a memory circuit.

    摘要: In a level shift circuit, when a power-source voltage variation dV/dt of a high voltage side occurs and influences on a logic level of a circuit, the passing through of a malfunction signal is masked and prevented in the first and second logic circuits, by a signal from a time-constant generation circuit or a portion where a power voltage variation occurs in advance, by utilizing the fact that this variation occurs both at a set side and a reset side. When the power source voltage variation dV/dt is generated at a high voltage side, sufficient allowance in the timing of this masking prevents an erroneous signal from being transmitted to a flip-flop, and a control signal is transmitted from a low voltage side circuit not giving malfunction to a high voltage side circuit, even when there is a production variation in each element in semiconductor processes.
