Parasitic capacitances formed between bit lines to which signals are to be read out of memory cells and a signal transmission line arranged above them are to be reduced. Second complementary global bit lines for transmitting data read out of memory cells MC via complementary bit lines are arranged above a memory cell array. Each second global bit line is so arranged that a triangle having as its vertexes the center of the section of one of the complementary bit lines, that of the section of the other and that of the section of the second global bit line arranged directly above these complementary bit lines be an isosceles triangle.

A constant current source is connected in series to a current source circuit including a MOS transistor which is used as a current source for a differential output amplifier circuit, an emitter follower circuit or a source follower circuit used with a semiconductor integrated circuit. In a multiplex circuit, an input signal is inputted to each of base terminals of a plurality of bipolar transistors. When one input signal is selected, the bipolar transistor corresponding to the selected input signal is made to be operable with an input signal from a signal input terminal by a control circuit. The bipolar transistors corresponding to the non-selection input signals are turned OFF irrespective of potential levels of the individual input signals by current drawing circuits. There is also disclosed a semiconductor memory circuit having a plurality of memory cells, a memory cell selection scheme and a sense amplifier for amplifying data outputted from the selected memory cell, in which a constant current circuit is provided in series connection to the sense amplifier to enhance the performance characteristics of the memory circuit. Also, a plural memory array scheme is disclosed which employs multiplexing techniques connected to presense amplifier circuits of the respective memory arrays.

An improved buffer circuit arrangement is provided which is particularly useful for semiconductor integrated circuit semiconductor memories and microprocessors. The buffer circuit is capable of switching large loads in various types of LSIs, and features a low noise and high speed circuit operation. This is accomplished by a parallel connection of output transistors in an output buffer circuit, and by differentiating the starting time of operation between the output transistors connected in parallel without using a delay circuit. For example, differentiating the starting times can be achieved by either providing the transistors with different characteristics from one another or the driving circuits with different characteristics from one another. Another aspect of the circuit is the provision of a two-level preset arrangement which presets the output node of the circuit to predetermined values before the input signals are applied.

An image display displays image data on an image display part constructed by a display pixel array. In an image display in which image data input means for inputting image data so that the display pixel array has two neighboring areas having different frame rates (>0) is provided or image data is displayed on an image display part constructed by a display pixel array, there is provided image data input means which can input at least one moving image data and at least one still image data into the image display part at different frame rates (>0). A high precision image display can be realized hardly changing a display pixel rewriting speed. A moving image signal output circuit and a still image signal output circuit output image data to the display pixel array, and they are provided as circuit configurations independent of each other.

摘要:
A semiconductor device and a computer system, incorporating the same, is capable of capturing an external signal at a high speed and stably operating independent of the duty ratio of a clock signal. An external signal ADD is captured into an address latch 22 by a level latch. The level latch is controlled to a through state at the timing in which the external signal is decided and controlled to a latched state in the decision period of the external signal. A pulse generation circuit controls the timing for switching a latch to the through state to a desired timing by a pulse generation circuit 30 in a chip. According to the above structure, the capture of the external signal ADD can be accelerated because the capture of the signal is determined by the setup timing. Moreover, because a latching period is controlled by the pulse generation circuit in the chip, operations are performed in a stable manner without having to depend upon the pulse width of an external clock CLK.

A circuit for generating a constant voltage, free of dependence on temperature changes, by adding a voltage having positive temperature dependence to a voltage having negative temperature dependence. A current generation circuit for generating a current having positive temperature dependence is connected with an element for converting this current to a voltage by way of a proportional current supply circuit, for example, a current mirror circuit.

A multiplex circuit is disclosed in which a plurality of bipolar transistors are combined and in which the respective base terminals thereof are used as inputs, thereby to construct an emitter follower type multiplex circuit. In such an emitter follower type multiplex circuit, the multiplexing function of non-selection/selection is effected by controlling the base potential of the respective bipolar transistors by providing a MOS transistor between each base and a high potential of the power source through a resistor and a current drawing circuit. In accordance with such a scheme, when a selection of one input signal is made, the bipolar transistor corresponding thereto is permitted to turn ON on the basis of an input signal supplied to the base terminal thereof. The bipolar transistors corresponding to the non-selection input signals are maintained OFF, through activating the current drawing circuits associated therewith, irrespective of the potential levels of the incoming input signals supplied to the base terminals thereof. In the emitter follower type multiplex circuit, a constant current source is also provided between the commonly connected emitters of the bipolar transistors and the power source of low potential. The multiplex arrangement effected can be of the collector dot type multiplex circuit. Such multiplex circuits are used with a semiconductor integrated circuit such as a memory circuit.
