    摘要: A column circuit that amplifies signals read from a sense amplifier array SAA to local input/output lines LIO in sub-amplifiers SAMP to transfer the amplified signals to main input/output lines MIO is provided. A current control circuit IC that can set one of two kinds of currents according to read enable signals RD1, RD2 is provided in each sub-amplifier SAMP. The read enable signals RD1, RD2 are generated at timings corresponding to the number of cycles in burst read operation under control of the timing controller. Current in the current control circuit IC is set to be large by the RD1 in burst read operation cycle just after activation of a memory bank, while current in the current control circuit IC is set to be small by the RD2 in the next and subsequent burst read cycles. Accordingly, expansion of an operation margin or reduction of power consumption can be realized in a semiconductor device including a semiconductor memory such as a DRAM.

    摘要: A write command is inputted from an outside, voltages of bit lines become VDL and VSS, and a voltage in accordance with a threshold voltage (LVT: low threshold voltage, MVT: mid threshold voltage, HVT: high threshold voltage) of a memory cell transistor is written into a storage node of a capacitor via the memory cell transistor. Thereafter, when a plate line connected to a plate side of the capacitor is driven from voltage VPL to voltage VPH and the voltage of the storage node is increased due to coupling, the voltage VDL of the bit line is reduced to the voltage VDP, and the voltage excessively written into the storage node is reduced in accordance with a level of a threshold voltage of the memory cell transistor, thereby reducing a variation in the voltage of the storage node due to a variation in the threshold voltage.

    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.

    摘要: A sense amplifier is constructed to reduce the occurrence of malfunctions in a memory read operation, and thus degraded chip yield, due to increased offset of the sense amplifier with further sealing down. The sense amplifier circuit is constructed with a plurality of pull-down circuits and a pull-up circuit, and a transistor in one of the plurality of pull-down circuits has a constant such as a channel length or a channel width larger than that of a transistor in another pull-down circuit. The pull-down circuit with a larger constant of a transistor is first activated, and then, the other pull-down circuit and the pull-up circuit are activated to perform the read operation.
