    摘要: The present invention relates to an internal voltage generating circuit. The internal voltage generating circuit comprises a reference voltage generating circuit for generating a reference voltage, which does not depend on an external power supply; and a comparator including a first input terminal, to which the reference voltage is supplied, a second input terminal, for comparing the voltages of the first and second input terminals and generating an output voltage according to the difference thereof at the output terminal; and an impedance element, which is selectively inserted between the output terminal and the second input terminal of the comparator according to an operation mode. An internal power supply voltage, which has a constant voltage during normal operation and has an accurate higher voltage during acceleration test, can be generated at the output terminal by inserting or not inserting a suitable impedance element between the second input terminal and output terminal according to the operation mode. The above-described comparator can be realized by a common differential amplifying circuit, for example. Further, a reference voltage value at normal operation can be fine-tuned by subdividing the impedance element. In the same way, the voltage value at acceleration test can be also fine-tuned by subdividing the impedance element.

    摘要: A memory circuit requiring refresh operations a first circuit which receives a command in synchronization with a clock signal, and which generates a first internal command internally and a second circuit which generates a second internal command, e.g., a refresh command, internally in a prescribed refresh cycle. And an internal circuit, according to said first internal command, executes corresponding control through clock-synchronous operations, and when said refresh command is issued, sequentially executes control corresponding to the refresh command and control corresponding to said first internal command through clock-asynchronous operations. When a refresh timing signal is generated, the refresh operation can be intrupted among the external command operations.

    摘要: A partial area for retaining data during low power consumption mode is composed of a single first memory cell out of a plurality of memory cells connected to a bit line. An operation control circuit operates any of the memory cells selected in accordance with an address signal during normal operation mode for performing a read operation and a write operation. The operation control circuit keeps latching data retained by the first memory cell in the partial area into a sense amplifier during the low power consumption mode. This eliminates the need for a refresh operation for retaining the data in the first memory cell during the low power consumption mode. Since the data can be retained without a refresh operation, it is possible to reduce the power consumption during the low power consumption mode.
