    摘要: A packetized dynamic random access memory ("DRAM") receives command packets each of which contain a plurality of command words. One of the command words in each command packet includes a column address. Each of the command words, including the column address, is stored in one of a plurality of storage units so that a plurality of column addresses may be simultaneously stored in the storage units. The column addresses are individually coupled from respective storage units to a common column address bus which includes an address latch. The column address bus drives a column address processing circuit, such as a column address decoder. Also included is an adder that allows the DRAM to operate in a burst mode. In response to receiving an increment signal, the adder increments the column address at the output of the column address bus and applies the incremented address to the input of the column address bus.

    摘要: A memory device includes a memory cell array, control circuits, and a voltage regulation system. The voltage regulation system includes an array power bus distributing an array supply voltage to the array, and a control circuit power bus distributing a control circuit supply voltage to the control circuits. Regulator circuits are coupled to the array power bus at spaced-apart locations along the bus which allow each regulator circuit to respond independently to a localized variation in the array supply voltage. Other regulator circuits are similarly coupled to the control circuit power bus. The regulator circuits which are unneeded for a particular operating mode of the memory device can be turned off during active memory cycles, and all the regulator circuits can be turned off during stand-by memory cycles. A resistor couples the array and control circuit power busses, and a low-power regulator circuit is coupled to the control circuit power bus to maintain both the array and control circuit supply voltages during stand-by memory cycles while the regulator circuits are off. The voltage regulation system thus advantageously reduces the power consumption of the memory device by using the low-power regulator circuit alone during stand-by memory cycles, reduces noise from the array on the control circuit supply voltage by splitting the array and control circuit power busses, and provides more responsive regulation of the array and control circuit supply voltages by distributing the regulator circuits.

    摘要: An integrated circuit memory device is designed to perform high speed burst access read and write cycles. An address strobe signal is used to latch a first address. During a burst access cycle the address is incremented internal to the device with additional address strobe transitions. A new memory address is only required at the beginning of each burst access. Read/Write commands are issued once per burst access eliminating the need to toggle the Read/Write control line at the device cycle frequency. A transition of the Read/Write control line during a burst access is used to terminate the burst access and initialize the device for another burst access. The memory device maintains compatibility with nonburst mode devices such as Extended Data Out (EDO) and Fast Page Mode through bond option or mode selection circuitry. A multiplexer selects between the input address and the burst address generator output to feed an asynchronous address transition detection circuit. The address transition detection circuit generates an equilibration control signal between memory access cycles.

    摘要: An integrated memory circuit is described which can be operated in a burst access mode. The memory circuit includes an address counter which changes column addresses in one of a number of predetermined patterns. The column address is changes in response to a rising edge of a column address signal (CAS*). The memory also includes a buffer circuit which latches the output of the address counter in response to the falling edge of the column address signal. Memory cells are accessed in a burst manner on the falling edge of the column address signal using the address latched in the buffer.

    摘要: A counter comprised of two flip flops and a multiplexer produces a sequential or interleaved address sequence. The addresses produced are used to access memory elements in a Burst Extended Data Output Dynamic Random Access Memory (Burst EDO or BEDO DRAM). Input addresses in combination with a sequence select signal are logically combined to produce a multiplexer select input which selects between true and compliment outputs of a first flip flop to couple to an input of a second flip flop to specify a toggle condition for the second flip flop. Outputs of the counter are compared with outputs of an input address latch to detect the end of a burst sequence and initialize the device for another burst access. A transition of the Read/Write control line during a burst access will terminate the burst access and initialize the device for another burst access.
