    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: In a memory array structured of memory cells using a storage circuit STC and a comparator CP, either one electrode of a source electrode or a drain electrode of a transistor, whose gate electrode is connected to a search line, of a plurality of transistors structuring the comparator CP is connected to a match line HMLr precharged to a high voltage. Further, a match detector MDr is arranged on a match line LMLr precharged to a low voltage to discriminate a comparison signal voltage generated at the match line according to the comparison result of data. According to such memory array structure and operation, comparison operation can be performed at low power and at high speed while influence of search-line noise is avoided in a match line pair. Therefore, a low power content addressable memory which allows search operation at high speed can be realized.

    摘要: Control clocks of different phases are distributed to a memory array divided into multiple banks, and processing of entries and search keys (read and write operations and search operation) is performed at different phases. The memory array divided into banks is further divided into smaller arrays, that is, sub-arrays, and a sense amplifier in a read-write-search circuit block is shared by the two sub-arrays. In this case, a so-called open bit line structure in which each one bit line is connected from both sub-arrays to a sense amplifier is adopted. The same look-up table is registered to multiple banks, successively inputted search keys are sequentially inputted to the multiple banks, and the search operation is carried out in synchronization with the control clocks of different phases.
