    摘要: A semiconductor integrated circuit is constituted to include a circuit block having a predetermined function, a power switch capable of supplying an operating power to the circuit block, and a current measuring circuit for obtaining a current flowing to the circuit block based on a voltage between terminals of the power switch in a state in which the power switch is turned on and an on-resistance of the power switch. The current flowing to the circuit block is obtained based on the voltage between terminals of the power switch in the state in which the power switch is turned on and the on-resistance of the power switch. Thus, it is possible to measure a current of the circuit block in a state in which a chip is normally operated.

    摘要: There is provided a semiconductor integrated circuit device which consumes less power and enables real-time processing. The semiconductor integrated circuit device comprises: thermal sensors which can detect temperature, determine whether the detection result exceeds each of the above reference values and output the result; and a control block capable of controlling the operations of arithmetic blocks based on the output signals of the thermal sensors, wherein the control block returns to an operation state from a suspended state with an interrupt signal based on the output signals of the thermal sensors and determines the operation conditions of the arithmetic blocks to ensure that the temperature conditions of the arithmetic blocks are satisfied. Thereby, power consumption is reduced and real-time processing efficiency is improved.

    摘要: To improve the reliability of the phase change element, unwanted current should not be flown into the element. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a memory cell that stores information depending on a change in its state caused by applied heat, as well as an input/output circuit, and to turn off the word line until the power supply circuit is activated. According to the present invention, unwanted current flow to the element can be prevented and thereby data destruction can be prevented.

    摘要: A semiconductor device comprises a plurality of memory cells, a central processing unit, a timer circuit which times a RESET time, and a timer circuit which times a SET time. A threshold voltage of an NMOS transistor of each memory cell is lower than that of the peripheral circuit, thereby easily executing a RESET operation. The direction of a flowing current is changed across the RESET operation and the SET operation, and the bit lines are activated at high speed, thus preventing system malfunctions. Further, the semiconductor device can overcome such problems as a wrong write operation and data destruction, resulting from the variation in the CMOS transistors when operating phase change elements with minimum size CMOS transistors at a core voltage (e.g. 1.2 V). According to the present invention, stable operations can be realized at a low voltage, using minimum-size cell transistors.
