    摘要: A delay line digital memory is organized into n signal branches (z.sub.1 . . . z.sub.n), each with m cells which form a serial data or signal flow path. Each cell is comprised of a transfer transistor t with a subsequently following level restorer, regenerator, or buffer circuit p which, however, is omitted in the last cell. Furthermore, n clock signals (s.sub.l . . . s.sub.n) are provided whose frequency (or repetition rate) equals one n-th of the data rate of the digital input signals, and whose effective pulses follow each other in temporal serial succession within one period of the data rate. Clocking (or activation) by clock signals (s.sub.1 . . . s.sub.n) is chosen so that in the first signal branch (z.sub.1) the first transistor is fed with the last clock signal (s.sub.n); in the second signal branch, the first transistor is fed with the next to last clock signal (s.sub.n-1); in the next to last signal branch (z.sub.n-1), the first transistor is fed with the second clock signal (s.sub.2); and in the 1st signal branch (z.sub.n) the first transistor is fed with the first clock signal (s.sub.1) at its gate. The remaining transistors of each signal branch are then fed in the sense of a descending clock-signal numbering order. Both the inputs and outputs of the signal branches are assembled or led together to either the signal input (s.sub.e) or the signal output (s.sub.a). This arrangement results in a considerable saving of space in the case of a monolithic integration compared to the cases in which shift registers or dynamic random access memories (DRAMs) are employed. The effective length of the storage time can be reduced in increments corresponding to the magnitude of the period of the data rate of the input signal.

    摘要: A DMA module includes an address generator to perform a write or read access to a location of an addressable memory, and an address counter to advance a stored address to an adjacent memory location. The address counter does not act on an internal register of the DMA module but instead is configured so that between reading an address value from the memory and writing the address value to the memory, the address counter is advanced once. The memory location at which the address value is read or written takes on the function of a register conventionally integrated in the DMA module. This approach reduces the space requirement of the DMA module, and the DMA module may be employed to control a large number of DMA processes that may mutually interrupt each other by providing a plurality of memory locations to store specifications of the DMA blocks.

    摘要: A protective circuit for connecting contacts of monolithic integrated circuits, particularly CMOS input/output stages. The protective circuit has a four-layer device (ta, ts) with a defined switching threshold in the area of each connecting contact (A) and a low-resistivity current path (sa) from the connecting contact (A) to a supply terminal (VSS, VDD).

The addresses of the defective rows are stored in a region of the matrix. A correction register can be loaded with the addresses of the defective rows from the region of the matrix when power is first applied to the matrix or whenever the applied power deviates from the expected, nominal value.

    摘要: An electrically programmable memory matrix comprises electrically programmable memory cells arranged in columns and rows, each consisting of a source-drain series arrangement of a memory transistor with a select transistor. The gate of the select transistor may be connected to one of row selecting lines of a row decoder, to which there are connected all gates of one row of the selected transistors of the memory cells of the same row. Control gates of groups of memory transistors (Ts) of one row may be connected to one common programming line, with these programming lines being connected by blocks via each time one group select transistor to one common block line which, via the source-drain line of a block select transistor whose gate is connected to one of a plurality of outputs of a block decoder is connected to one source of block signals. Re-programmability of a fixed number of memory cells only upon application of a further input signal, apart from a function signal, is accomplished by subdividing at least one of the two decoders into a first decoder part to the function signal input of which the programming signal is applied directly, and into a second decoder part whose function signal input is connected to the output of a gate circuit having two inputs. Th output signal of the gate circuit is only then at the value corresponding to the function "programming" when the first input is also at the value corresponding to the function "programming", and when the second input is at that particular value which permits a programming of the second decoder part.

    摘要: A filter circuit is driven by two digital phase responsive output signals from the frequency/phase discriminator of a phase-locked loop (PLL) circuit. The controlled current paths of a first n-conducting transistor, a second n-conducting transistor, a second p-conducting transistor and a first p-conducting transistor are connected in that order between the plus and minus poles of a source of supply voltage. The common connection between the controlled current paths of the second n-conducting transistor and the second p-conducting transistor is connected to the output of the filter circuit. The second n-conducting transistor and the second p-conducting transistor are connected as diodes with the gate of the second n-conducting transistor connected to the common connection between the first n-conducting transistor and the second n-conducting transistor, and with the gate of the second p-conducting transistor connected to the common connection between the first p-conducting transistor and the second p-conducting transistor. The output of the filter circuit is connected across a series RC circuit to the minus pole of the source of supply voltage. The first digital signal from the frequency/phase discriminator is fed to the gate of the second n-conducting transistor via a capacitor. The second digital signal from the frequency/phase discriminator is fed to the gate of the second p-conducting transistor via the series arrangement of an inverter and a capacitor. The gate of the first n-conducting transistor and the gate of the first p-conducting transistor are applied to the common connection of the resistor and the capacitor of the RC circuit. In that way the range of control of the output voltage from the filter circuit is substantially greater than that of the supply voltage, and the coupling-in of the two digital signals to the output voltage is substantially avoided.

    摘要: An integrated memory system includes a microcomputer which, at defined intervals and by employing a classifying circuit integrated in an EEPROM, checks the memory cells of the EEPROM with respect to variations of the threshold values. Upon detection of a fault in a row or column which has thus been recognized as being faulty, this faulty row or column whose address is then stored in one EEPROM area, is replaced by a redundant row or column in another area by making use of a correction register.
