    摘要: In a circuit cell band having circuit cells arranged aligned along a linear array, an on-a-cell line is arranged over a prescribed number of circuit cells, in a region different from a line region in which line band is formed on both sides of the circuit cells, for example, and the on-the-cell line is connected to a feed through in a feed through region provided between adjacent circuit cells. Restrictions on the feed through, size of the circuit cell and the lines are removed as much as possible. The circuit cell has also island-shaped impurity regions for fixing a substrate potential, so that latch up immunity is improved. Transistor forming regions having different conductivity types in a circuit cell are arranged in a sandwiched structure, and the circuit cell can be inverted horizontally and/or vertically while maintaining the transistor arrangement in the circuit cell. Therefore, position of the signal input/output port of the circuit cell can be changed in accordance with the layout of external lines, whereby optimization of the external line layout is facilitated.

    摘要: A data output drive transistor is rendered conductive when the potential of an internal node attains an H level, whereby an output node is discharged to the level of ground potential. When the drive transistor is turned on, the output node is discharged to the level of ground potential at high speed. This drive transistor is turned on for a predetermined time period when output of a high level data is completed, whereby the output node is discharged to the level of the ground potential for a predetermined time period. As a result, the potential of the output node is lowered from a high level to an intermediate level, so that the amplitude of a subsequent output signal is reduced. An output circuit that can effectively prevent generation of ringing with no increase in the access time is provided. A countermeasure is provided to suppress a ringing at output node which drives the output node at high speed when the output node potential attains a potential at which no ringing is caused. A stable output signal is provided at high speed.

    摘要: Between an external power supply line and an internal power supply line in which an internal power supply potential is transmitted on a substrate region, a high voltage conducting mechanism is provided, which is rendered conductive when a transitional high voltage surge is generated at the external power supply line by electrically connecting the external power supply line and the internal power supply line. Even when the ground line and external power supply line are not arranged parallel to each other, a high voltage conducting mechanism constituted by a field transistor or an insulated gate type field effect transistor having wide width over a long distance can be formed.

    摘要: A DRAM includes an internal boosting circuit, a global power-line, a plurality of blocks, a row decoder, and a POR generating circuit. Each block includes word lines, local power-lines, AND gates, drive transistors, and word line drivers. The AND gate turns a corresponding drive transistor on/off in response to a power on reset signal /POR and a corresponding block select signal. Therefore, all the local boosted power-lines are connected to the global boosted power-line during a power on reset period, whereby all the local boosted power-lines are initially charged up to boosted power supply potential Vpp.
