    摘要: In a large scale integrated DRAM in pursuit of micro fabrication, data line-word line coupling capacitances are unbalanced between paired data lines. A data line-word line imbalance generates large noise when the data lines are subjected to amplification, which is highly likely to invite deterioration of very small signals on the data lines and erroneous amplification of data. One or a few of a plurality of word lines connected to a plurality of memory cells connected to one data line are alternately connected to subword driver arrays arranged on the opposing sides of a memory array. Positive and negative word line noise components cancel each other in the subword drivers when the data lines are subjected to amplification, so that the word line noise can be reduced. Therefore, signals read out by sense amplifiers can be prevented from deterioration thereby to increase the reliability of memory operation.

    摘要: A technique for increasing rewriting current without increasing a power supply voltage and also reducing location dependency inside a memory array of a resistive state after the rewriting is provided in a resistance change memory in which the resistance value of a memory cell changes between logical values “1” and “0”. In the resistance change memory, bit lines are formed into a layered structure, the bit line select switches for connecting to the global bit line are provided at both ends of the local bit line, and a control method of the bit line select switches is changed in the writing and the reading, thereby realizing the optimum array configurations for each of them. More specifically, in the writing and the reading, two current paths are provided in parallel by turning ON the bit line select switches simultaneously.

    摘要: Disclosed is a timing control circuit which receives a first clock having a period T1 and a group of second clocks of L different phases (where L is a positive integer) spaced apart from each other at substantially equal intervals and which generates a fine timing signal delayed from the rising edge of the first clock by a delay td of approximately td=m·T1+n·(T2/L), where m and n are non-negative integers. The timing control circuit has a coarse delay circuit and a fine delay circuit. The coarse delay circuit counts the rising edges of the first clock after an activate signal is activated and generates a coarse timing signal delayed from the first clock by approximately m·T1. The fine delay circuit has a circuit which, after the activate signal is activated, detects a second clock, which has a rising edge that immediately follows the rising edge of the first clock, from among the group of L-phase second clocks. Using the edge-detection information, the fine delay circuit generates a fine timing signal for which the amount of delay from the coarse timing signal is approximately n·(T2/L). The values of m and n can be set by registers.

    摘要: Disclosed is a semiconductor device including a first clock generator that generates a first clock signal having a first period from an input clock signal, a second clock generator that generates a second clock signal having a second period from the input clock signal, and a timing generator that receives the first clock signal, the second clock signal, an activation signal from a command decoder and a selection signal for selecting the delay time from a timing register to produce a timing signal delayed as from activation of the activation signal by a delay equal to a sum of a time equal to a preset number m prescribed by the selection signal times the first period and a time equal to another preset number n prescribed by the selection signal times the second period. The timing register holds the values of m and n. These values are set in the timing register in an initialization sequence at the time of a mode register set command. In the operating states, the timing signals are output from the timing generator at a desired timing based on the information stored in the timing register (FIG. 6).

    摘要: A semiconductor memory device capable of achieving a sufficient operating margin without increasing an area penalty even in the case of miniaturization is provided. An error correction system composed of a data bit of 64 bits and a check bit of 9 bits is introduced to a memory array such as DRAM, and an error correction code circuit required therein is disposed near a sense amplifier array. In addition to normal memory arrays composed of such memory arrays, a redundant memory array having a sense amplifier array and an error correction code circuit adjacent thereto is provided in a chip. By this means, the error which occurs in the manufacture can be replaced. Also, the error correction code circuit corrects the error at the time of an activate command and stores the check bit at the time of a pre-charge command.
