摘要:
A synchronous DRAM is provided which includes arrangements for operations of power supply circuitry based upon whether the DRAM is in a power down mode or not. In one embodiment, a first power supply circuit and a second power supply circuit are provided which both receive externally supplied voltages and output internal supply voltages. The first power supply circuit is not in operation when a semiconductor device of the synchronous DRAM is in a power down mode. However, the second power supply circuit is continuously in operation during the power down mode. In another arrangement, the operation of a voltage limiter circuit is controlled based on whether or not the DRAM is in a power down mode.

In a semiconductor memory device, with respect to low voltage application, technique of controlling a gate voltage of a shared MOS transistor increasing sense speed and increasing data read speed by preventing data inversion caused by noise and reducing bit line capacitance during sensing is provided. By a shared MOS transistor gate voltage control circuit connecting a sense amplifier and a memory cell array, a shared MOS transistor gate voltage (SHR) is lowered in two stages and bit line capacitance to be amplified is reduced taking noise during the sensing into consideration so that the sense speed is increased. Therefore, a timing of activating a column selection signal can be hastened and as a result, data read time can be reduced.

A memory module includes a plurality of memory chips, a plurality of data register buffers, and a command/address/control register buffer mounted on a module PCB. The data register buffers perform data transfers with the memory chips. The command/address/control register buffer performs buffering of a command/address/control signal and generates a control signal. The buffered command/address/control signal is supplied to the memory chips, and the control signal is supplied to the data register buffers. According to the present invention, because line lengths between the data register buffers and the memory chips are shortened, it is possible to realize a considerably high data transfer rate.

A semiconductor memory such as a dynamic RAM having memory mats each divided into a plurality of units or sub-memory mats. Each sub-memory mat comprises: a memory array having sub-word lines and sub-bit lines intersecting orthogonally and dynamic memory cells located in lattice fashion at the intersection points between the intersecting sub-word and sub-bit lines; a sub-word line driver including unit sub-word line driving circuits corresponding to the sub-word lines; a sense amplifier including unit amplifier circuits and column selection switches corresponding to the sub-bit lines; and sub-common I/O lines to which designated sub-bit lines are connected selectively via the column selection switches. The sub-memory mats are arranged in lattice fashion. Above the sub-memory mats is a layer of: main word lines and column selection signal lines intersecting orthogonally, the main word lines having a pitch that is an integer multiple of the pitch of the sub-word lines, the column selection signal lines having a pitch that is an integer multiple of the pitch of the sub-bit lines; and main common I/O lines to which designated sub-common I/O lines are connected selectively.

A ZQ calibration command is internally generated from an external command different from a ZQ calibration command so as to automatically perform an additional ZQ calibration operation. A command interval between an inputted command and a next command is effectively employed to obtain a ZQ calibration period. The external command different from the ZQ calibration command is preferably a self-refreshed command. The addition of the ZQ calibration operation shortens intervals between ZQ calibration operations. Thus, it is possible to obtain a ZQ calibration circuit capable of performing a ZQ calibration operation more accurately.
