    摘要: A preamplifier includes an amplifier circuit amplifying a signal level of read data, a latency shifter outputting the read data onto a data line pair in response to an internal signal determining a timing of outputting the read data onto the data bus pair, and a driver outputting the read data onto the data bus pair. The amplifier circuit receives the internal signal and outputs the read data onto the data line pair while bypassing the latency shifter when the internal signal is already at high level at the timing when the signal level of the read data is amplified. As a result, a semiconductor memory device can speed up propagation of the read data from the preamplifier onto the data bus pair in a high frequency operation.

    摘要: A DLL circuit generates first and second internal clocks delayed by appropriate quantities from an external clock, and generates third and fourth internal clocks capable of driving a data output circuit after a CAS latency from the first and second internal clocks on the basis of an internal signal. A repeater recovers signal levels of the third and fourth internal clocks and outputs the third and fourth internal clocks as DLL clocks. The data output circuit takes in read data using the DLL clocks outputted from the repeater, and outputs the read data to an outside in a half cycle synchronously with the DLL clocks. In this way, a circuit area of a semiconductor memory device can be reduced by generating the DLL clocks in a prior stage to the data output circuit.

    摘要: A semiconductor memory device includes two power feed lines. An overdriving scheme is applied to one of the power feed lines in the sensing amplifying operation, and no overdriving scheme is applied to the other power feed line in the sensing operation. According to the overdriving scheme, the power feed line is overdriven to a potential level higher than a potential corresponding high level data stored in a memory cell. Thus, the overdriving of the power feed line is applied as an auxiliary function to prevent application of an excess potential to a memory cell capacitor. Such a semiconductor memory device can be achieved that improves both the speed of sensing amplifying operation and the reliability of memory cell capacitors, while conforming to low voltage operation requirement.

    摘要: An internal power supply circuit produces an internal power supply voltage from an external power supply voltage. A voltage level control circuit controls a voltage level and a temperature characteristic of the internal power supply voltage generated by the internal power supply circuit. The internal power supply circuit produces the internal power supply voltage having a negative or zero temperature characteristic in a low temperature region and a positive temperature characteristic in a high temperature region. The voltage level control circuit includes a structure optimizing a capacitance value of a sense power supply line stabilizing capacitance for driving a sense amplifier circuit, a level converting circuit determining the lowest operable region of the external power supply voltage of the internal power supply circuit, or a structure forcedly operating the internal voltage down converter upon power-on. The internal power supply voltage at a desired level is stably produced with a small occupied area and a low current consumption.

A switching circuit selects a first reference potential as a reference potential while a sense operation is not performed and selects a lower second reference potential while the sense operation is performed. A buffer circuit is controlled such that a through current increases only for a predetermined time period at a initiation and a termination of the sense operation.
