    摘要: A leakage current of the MOS transistor of a power control section at a standby time is drastically reduced and the reduction of the consumption power is achieved. A memory module is provided with power control sections. When either of the memory mats is not selected, the power control sections stop the power supply voltage to a non-selected memory mat, a word driver, an input-output circuit, a control circuit and an output circuit. At the standby time of the memory module, the power control section stops a power supply to power control sections, a control circuit, a predecoder circuit, and an input circuit. In this manner, the leakage current of the MOS transistor of the power control sections at the standby time can be drastically reduced.

    摘要: Data breakdown due to fluctuation of an operation power source is suppressed by suppressing a sub-threshold leakage current. A semiconductor integrated circuit includes a pair of power source wires, a plurality of static memory cells, a voltage control circuit for controlling an operation voltage applied from the power source wires to the static memory cells, a monitor circuit for monitoring a voltage of the power source wires and a mode control circuit for controlling a plurality of operation modes. The monitor circuit can detect a change of decrease of a potential difference between the pair of power source wires. The voltage control circuit can execute control in such a manner as to reduce the potential difference of a pair of power source nodes of the static memory cell in response to indication of the low power consumption mode by the mode control circuit and can execute control in such a manner as to increase the potential difference of the pair of power source nodes of the static memory cell in response to detection of the decrease of the potential difference between the pair of power source wires by the monitor circuit.

    摘要: The semiconductor device makes a comparison between a word-line timing signal for determining a word-line activation time and a reference signal, applies a back-gate bias for enlarging a read margin when the result of the comparison represents a low condition of the read margin, and applies a back-gate bias for enlarging a write margin when the comparison result represents a low condition of the write margin. The reference signal is selected depending on whether to compensate an operating margin fluctuating according to the word-line activation time (or word-line pulse width), or to compensate an operating margin fluctuating according to the process fluctuation (or variation in threshold voltage). By controlling the back-gate biases according to the word-line pulse width, an operating margin fluctuating according to the word-line pulse width, and an operating margin fluctuating owing to the variation in threshold voltage during its fabrication are improved.

    摘要: Objects of the invention are to minimize power consumption while maintaining the required information processing capabilities of an LSI chip by supplying multiple voltages to the LSI chip such that its circuit blocks receive necessary voltages and to prevent an increase in the chip area of the LSI chip and performance degradation of signal wires, which may result from the supply of the multiple voltages, by reducing the number of power supply wires.In an LSI chip to which two voltages are supplied, high voltage wires are more densely spaced than low voltage wires. By selectively applying voltages based on circuit block performance, it is possible to reduce power consumption while maintaining the amount of information processed by the LSI chip.
