    摘要: A semiconductor integrated circuit device of the present invention includes a plurality of banks and a plurality of sense amplifier bands. A switch circuit included in each sense amplifier band receives a signal on a transmission line and outputs a signal read from the bank to a global data input/output line arranged in the column direction. A column bank control circuit for outputting a column bank control signal is arranged on the column decoder side. The column bank control signal is supplied to the transmission line through a column bank control signal line arranged in the column direction. The switch circuit operates in accordance with the column bank control signal. By such a configuration, a column-related operation can be matched easily.

    摘要: A semiconductor circuit or a MOS-DRAM wherein converting means is provided that converts substrate potential or body bias potential between two values for MOS-FETs in a logic circuit, memory cells, and operating circuit of the MOS-DRAM, thereby raising the threshold voltage of the MOS-FETs when in the standby state and lowering it when in active state. The converting means includes a level shift circuit and a switch circuit. The substrate potential or body bias potential is controlled only of the MOS-FETs which are nonconducting in the standby state; this configuration achieves a reduction in power consumption associated with the potential switching. Furthermore, in a structure where MOS-FETs of the same conductivity type are formed adjacent to each other, MOS-FETs of SOI structure are preferable for better results.

    摘要: In a DRAM, an upper address is assigned to each of ways W0 and W1, and a lower address is assigned to each word line WL in each of ways W0 and W1. A self-refresh start trigger generating circuit senses start of self-refresh, and a refresh address change sensing circuit senses change in an upper address. Based on the result of sensing, way selection signals RX0 and RX1 will not be reset and held at an active level while ways W0 and W1 are selected, respectively. Consequently, power consumption can be reduced compared to a conventional example in which signals RX0 and RX1 are reset every time a single word line WL is selected.

    摘要: Main bit lines MBL and ZMBL are disposed at opposite sides of a sense amplifier SA. Main bit lines MBL and ZMBL each are provided for paired sub-bit lines SBL1 and SBL2 (or SBL3 and SBL4). Sub-bit line pair SBL1 and SBL2 is connected to main bit line MBL via a block select switch T1. Sub-bit line pair SBL3 and SBL4 is connected to main bit line ZMBL via a block select switch T2. Since one main bit line is provided for two sub-bit lines, a pitch of the main bit lines is twice as large as a pitch of the sub-bit lines, so that conditions on the pitch of main bit lines are remarkably eased, which facilitates layout of elements.
