y memory blocks are connected in series. A row select signal is output to each memory block from a row address pointer corresponding to a plurality of memory circuits in one memory block. Similarly, a column select signal is output to each memory block from a column address pointer corresponding to a plurality of memory circuits in one memory block. Therefore, the same row and column select signals are applied to each memory block, whereby data is sequentially input/output for every memory block. Thus, the circuit complexity of the row and column address pointers can be reduced.

An improved serial-parallel type A/D converter is disclosed herein. A gate circuit 7 applies signals S11' to S14' provided from an encoder 3 only in a fine comparison period to switching circuits 11 to 14 as switching control signals S11 to S14. In the fine comparison period, one switching circuit is turned on, so that a fine comparison voltage is applied to voltage comparators 21 to 23. Since all of the switching circuits are turned off in a coarse comparison period, correct coarse comparison voltage is provided from a reference voltage generating circuit. As a result, a correct conversion in the coarse comparison period can be performed.
摘要:
A voltage comparator includes a coupling capacitor which receives at one terminal thereof two signals applied in a complementary fashion, an inverting amplifier having an input coupled to the other terminal of the coupling capacitor and having an output, and switch means coupled between the input and output of the inverting amplifier so as to be in parallel with the inverting amplifier. The duration of an auto-zeroing interval during which the switch means is conductive is maintained constant regardless of the period of the ON-OFF operation of the switch means.
