    摘要: A semiconductor memory device includes isolation circuits disconnecting cell arrays from sense amplifiers, and isolation signal generating circuits generating isolation signals that control the isolation circuits. The isolation signal generating circuits are hierarchically divided into main isolation signal generating circuits and sub isolation signal generating circuits. The sub isolation signal generating circuits generate sub isolation signals having a first potential on a high-potential side. The main isolation signal generating circuits generate main isolation signals having a second potential on the high-potential side, the second potential being lower than the first potential.

The memory cell array has a first word line group connected to a pair of memory cells associated with a first bit line pair including first and third bit lines, and a second word line group, connected to a pair of memory cells associated with a second bit line pair including second and fourth bit lines. First and second sense amplifier groups are positioned one on each side of the memory array, and are connected to the first and second bit line pair, respectively.

In reading `H` from the memory cell connected to a bit line BLC or *BLC, the both bit lines are set at a higher reset potential Vii, while in reading `L`, the both bit lines are reset at a lower reset potential Vss. Transfer gates 10 and 11 are turned off before sufficient amplification of a potential difference between the bit lines BL and *BL. The operation of restoring into a memory cell read destructively from is performed in parallel with the operation of bit line reset.

    摘要: A semiconductor integrated circuit has a de-skew circuit for reducing a skew of an incoming signal from a specific circuit with respect to a synchronous clock signal. The de-skew circuit controls the phase of an outgoing signal to be transmitted from the semiconductor integrated circuit to the specific circuit in response to the skew of the input signal. This arrangement decreases not only a skew of incoming signals from the specific circuit but also a skew of outgoing signals to the specific circuit.
