    摘要: A semiconductor memory device containing a cache includes a static random access memory (SRAM) as a cache memory, and a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) as a main memory. Collective transfer of data blocks is possible between the DRAM and the SRAM through a bi-directional data transfer gate circuit and through an internal data line. A DRAM row decoder and a DRAM column decoder are provided in the DRAM. A SRAM row decoder and an SRAM column decoder are provided in the SRAM. Addresses of the SRAM and DRAM can be independently applied. The data transfer gate includes a latch circuit for latching data from the SRAM, which serves as a high speed memory, an amplifier circuit and a gate circuit for amplifying data from the DRAM, which serves as a large capacity memory, and for transmitting the amplified data to the SRAM, and a gate circuit, responsive to a DRAM write enable signal for transmitting write data to corresponding memory cells of the DRAM. After the data of the SRAM has been latched by a latch circuit, write data is transmitted from the gate circuit to the DRAM, and the write data is transmitted to the SRAM through the amplifier circuit and the gate circuit.

    摘要: A residual charge removing circuit connected to a node in a power-on reset pulse generating circuit for removing positive charges which remain in this node when a power supply is turned off is disclosed. This residual charge removing circuit is formed of two N-channel MOS transistors connected in series between the node and the ground, and one capacitor. Out of the two N-channel MOS transistors, the transistor near the node has a grounded gate. The capacitor is connected between a gate of the transistor, out of the two N-channel MOS transistors, which is distant from the node, and a power supply. The gate of the transistor distant from the node is connected to a connection point between the two N-channel MOS transistors. Therefore, when a supply potential lowers below a threshold voltage Vth of the MOS transistors due to the power-off, the transistor distant from the node is turned off, so that a potential of the connection point becomes -Vth owing to a discharge of negative charges from the capacitor. This turns on the transistor near the node, so that the residual charges in the node are offset by the negative charges in the connection point.

    摘要: A semiconductor memory device is provided with a static random access memory (SRAM) serving as a cache memory and a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) serving as a main memory. A bi-directional data transfer circuit is arranged for transfer of data blocks between the SRAM and the DRAM. A command register is provided for holding command data to set operation modes such as a data output mode of the memory device. The data output mode may include a transparent mode, a latched mode and a registered mode selected depending on a data combination at data input terminals of the memory device. An output circuit for providing a selected data output mode includes an output latch circuit for latching data on read data buses in response to clock signals, and an output buffer for outputting data from the output latches to a data output terminal. The latch circuit provides data at a first clock cycle of a clock signal when the command data has a first value and provides data at a second clock cycle of the clock signal, which is later than the first clock cycle, when the command data has a second value.

    摘要: A semiconductor memory device includes a DRAM, an SRAM and a bi-direction transfer gate circuit provided between SRAM and DRAM. SRAM array includes a plurality of sets of word lines. Each set is provided in each row of SRAM array and each word line in each set is connected to a different group of memory cells of an associated row. An address signal for the SRAM and an address signal for the DRAM are separately applied to an address buffer. The semiconductor memory device further includes an additional function control circuit for realizing a burst mode and a sleep mode. A data transfer path from DRAM to the SRAM and a data transfer path from the SRAM to the DRAM are separately provided in the bi-directional transfer gate circuit. Data writing paths and data reading paths are separately provided in the DRAM array. By the above described structure, operation of the buffer circuit is stopped in the sleep mode, reducing power consumption. Since data writing path and data reading path are separately provided in the DRAM array, addresses to the DRAM array can be applied in non-multiplexed manner, so that data can be transferred at high speed from the DRAM array to the SRAM array, enabling high speed operation even at a cache miss.

    摘要: Disclosed is a DRAM including a test mode operation capable of testing whether a plurality of memory cells are defective or not in a short time. The DRAM includes a power-on detection signal generator, a power-on reset signal generator, and a test mode instruction signal generator. The power-on detection signal generator detects application of a power supply voltage and generates a power-on detection signal. The power-on reset signal generator is reset by a power-on reset signal, counts at least once an external RAS signal applied after reset and generates a power-on reset signal. The test mode instruction signal generator detects logic states of an internal RAS signal, an internal CAS signal and an internal W signal applied after the power-on reset and generates a test mode instructing signal.
