    摘要: An integrated circuit memory device includes an array of memory cells arranged into rows and columns. A main word line decoder receives a first portion of a row address and generates a main word line activation signal on a predetermined word line in response thereto. A word driver predecoder receives a second portion of the row address and generates a sub-row activation signal in response thereto. A sub-word line driver generates a sub-word line activation signal on an output node. This sub-word line driver includes a pull-down transistor, a pull-up transistor, and a driving transistor. The pull-down transistor electrically connects the output node to a ground terminal in response to an inverse of the sub-row activation signal. The pull-up transistor transfers the sub-row activation signal to the output node in response to the main word line activation signal. The driving transistor transfers the main word line activation signal to the output node in response to the sub-row activation signal. A sub-word line electrically connects the output node and a predetermined memory cell so that the predetermined memory cell is activated in response to the sub-word line activation signal.

    摘要: A display apparatus for calibrating a grayscale data including a timing controller, and a method for driving a panel are provided. A display apparatus includes a timing controller which calibrates the grayscale data of the current frame using the grayscale data of the previous and the current frame and a driving unit which drives a panel using the calibrated grayscale data of the current frame. By generating calibrated grayscale data which are variable according to the change of grayscale, response times of liquid crystal may be improved.

    摘要: An integrated circuit memory device includes a two-dimensional memory array in which the first and second dimensions extend in first and second directions respectively. The memory device further includes a decoder for the first dimension and a plurality of fuses between the decoder and the memory array. Upon encountering a defective storage cell in the memory array, the appropriate fuse can be cut to physically segregate the decoder from the defective cell. This allows the memory to operate without any delay inserted for switching to a spare or redundant memory array of storage cells, thus maximizing the memory operating speed. In a preferred embodiment, the fuses are arranged such that the relative spacing between the fuses proceeds substantially along the second direction and the fuses are oriented lengthwise in the first direction. By following this arrangement, the impact on the layout area for the memory device is minimal.

    摘要: A semiconductor memory device having a hierarchical input/output line structure and a method for arranging the same are provided. The semiconductor memory device includes a sub-array including a plurality of memory cells. The semiconductor memory device further includes a sense amplifier for sensing and amplifying the data of the memory cells of the sub-array. The semiconductor memory device further includes a sub-word line driver for driving the word lines of the memory cells. The semiconductor memory device further includes a local input/output line for receiving and transmitting the output signal of the sense amplifier. The semiconductor memory device further includes a global input/output line for receiving and transmitting the signal of the local input/output line. The semiconductor memory device further includes switching means for transmitting the signal of the local input/output line to the global input/output line in response to predetermined control signals. A conjunction area is formed in an intersecting area between the sense amplifier and the sub-word line driver. In particular, the switching means are separated and arranged in the conjunction areas in which the local input/output line intersects the global input/output line. A P driver and an N driver for driving the sense amplifier are arranged in the same conjunction.
