    摘要: A sense amplifier capable of performing high-speed data sense operation with lower power consumption using a minuscule signal from a memory cell even in a case where a memory array voltage is reduced. A plurality of drive switches for over-driving are distributively arranged in a sense amplifier area, and a plurality of drive switches for restore operation are concentratively disposed at one end of a row of the sense amplifiers. A potential for over-driving is supplied using a meshed power line circuit. Through the use of the drive switches for over-driving, initial sense operation can be performed on data line pairs with a voltage having an amplitude larger than a data-line amplitude, allowing implementation of high-speed sense operation. The distributed arrangement of the drive switched for over-driving makes it possible to dispersively supply current in sense operation, thereby reducing a difference in sense voltage with respect to far and near positions of the sense amplifiers.

    摘要: Due to the further scaling down, the offset of the sense amplifier is increased and the malfunction occurs in the read operation, and thus, the yield of the chip is degraded. For its prevention, a plurality of pull-down circuits and one pull-up circuit are used to constitute the sense amplifier circuit. Also, the transistor in one of the plurality of pull-down circuits has a constant such as a channel length or a channel width larger than that of the transistor in the other pull-down circuit. Further, the pull-down circuit with a larger constant of the transistor is first activated, and then, the other pull-down circuit and the pull-up circuit are activated to perform the read operation.

    摘要: A sense amplifier arrangement that achieves high-speed access and shorter cycle time when array voltage is lowered in a DRAM. In a TG clocking sense system to separate data lines between the array side and the sense amplifier side in an early stage of a sensing period, a restore amplifier RAP is added, which amplifies data lines on the array side by referring to the data in the sense amplifier, and the restore amplifier is driven by a voltage VDH higher than the array voltage VDL. As a result, high-speed sense operation of the TG clocking system is made compatible with high-speed restore operation of overdrive system, and it is possible to achieve high-speed access operation and shorter cycle time.
