    摘要: A semiconductor memory, such as a multibit DRAM, has a multiple cell array banks, each having multiple cell arrays. Rows of sense amplifiers are located near each of the cell arrays and extend in a first direction. Multiple rows of transfer switches, also extending in the first direction, are located adjacent to each of the cell array banks. A first data bus, which extends in a second direction which is perpendicular to the first direction, connects the sense amplifiers with the transfer switches. Multiple data buffer rows extend in the first direction near the transfer switches. A second data bus, extending in the first direction, connects the transfer switches with the data buffers. A layout pitch is defined by a spacing between adjacent lines of the first data bus. The transfer switches are placed in accordance with the defined layout pitch and the data buffers are placed according to a layout pitch determined by multiplying the defined layout pitch by the number of cell array banks.

    摘要: A semiconductor memory device uses a wave pipeline system which can reduce a power consumption by reducing a current for charging a data bus between a memory core part and an output circuit. A single line data bus transmits read data output from the memory core part. A data bus drive circuit outputs the read read data to send to the single data bus. Each of a plurality of data latch circuits has a data input terminal connected to the data bus. A data input control circuit inputs the read data which is serially transmitted on the data bus to the data latch circuits in parallel in response to an operation of the data bus drive circuit. A data output control circuit outputs the latched read data in an order of latching by sequentially selecting outputs of the data latch circuits.

    摘要: A semiconductor or memory device has a decoder circuit for decoding a plurality of external address signals. The external address signals include first and second external address signals. A first address buffer receives the first external address signals and outputs first internal address signals to first address lines. A second address buffer receives the second external address signals and outputs second internal address signals to second address lines. First predecoders have input terminals connected to the first address lines, and output first predecode signals to first predecode lines. Second predecoders have input terminals connected to the second address lines and output second predecode signals to second predecode lines. Main decoders have input terminals connected to the first predecode lines and the second predecode lines and output decode signals. The number of the first external address signals are greater than the number of the second external address signals. The second predecoders and the second predecode lines are provided at least in double in such a manner that inputs of the main decoders to be connected to each of the second predecode lines are equal in number to inputs of the main decoders to be connected to each of the first predecode lines. It is possible to shorten the transition time of predecode signals because of the same capacitive load of the predecoder circuit.

    摘要: A semiconductor memory that reduces power consumed by a CAM. A storage circuit has stored a plurality of patterns of information indicative of whether to activate each memory word block. If specification information for specifying a predetermined pattern from among the plurality of patterns of information which has been stored in the storage circuit is input, an activation circuit activates each content addressable memory word block according to a specified pattern. If data to be retrieved is input, a specification circuit specifies a content addressable memory word which has stored data corresponding to the data to be retrieved from among a group of content addressable memory words activated by the activation circuit. As a result, activation will be performed by the content addressable memory word block. Therefore, by activating only necessary content addressable memory words, consumption of power can be reduced.
