A falling sensor is provided, which detects a falling of a magnetic disk drive or an information processing device installed with the magnetic disk drive and which is effective for avoiding physical damage of magnetic heads and magnetic disk media. The magnetic disk drive or the information processing device, include an unload mechanism moving or evacuating the magnetic head from a surface of the magnetic disk media, and a falling sensor comprising a conductive flexible beam or member having a compatible function, a conductive weight supported by these beams and a conductive wall arranged to be made in contact or non-contact with the weight. The sensor can detect a falling of the magnetic disk drive or the information processing device, which is typically a notebook personal computer installed with the magnetic disk drive, and evacuate the magnetic head by the unload mechanism.

A high-speed vision sensor includes: an analog-to-digital converter array 13, in which one analog-to-digital converter 210 is provided in correspondence with all the photodetector elements 120 that are located on each row in a photodetector array 11; a parallel processing system 14 that includes processor elements 400 and shift registers 410, both of which form a one-to-one correspondence with the photodetector elements 120; and data buses 17, 18 and data buffers 19 and 20 for data transfer to processing elements 400. The processing elements 400 perform high-speed image processing between adjacent pixels by parallel processings. By using the data buses 17, 18, it is possible to attain, at a high rate of speed, such calculation processing that requires data supplied from outside.

An access transistor in an MTJ memory cell, which is one of transistors connected to a read current path, is fabricated with a semiconductor layer formed on an insulating film on a semiconductor substrate SUB, and includes impurity regions, a gate region and a body region. That is, the access transistor is fabricated with an SOI (Silicon On Insulator) structure in order to reduce an off-leak current.

A tunneling magneto-resistance element of each MTJ (magnetic tunnel junction) memory cell is connected between a bit line and a strap. Each strap is shared by a plurality of tunneling magneto-resistance elements that are located adjacent to each other in the row direction in the same sub array. Each access transistor is connected between a corresponding strap and a ground voltage, and turned ON/OFF in response to a corresponding word line. Since data read operation can be conducted with the structure that does not have an access transistor for every tunneling magneto-resistance element, the array area can be reduced.
摘要:
In a DRAM, a data transfer circuit includes a control circuit which selects a data transfer line to be discharged from high to low and a data transfer line to be precharged from low to high for the subsequent data transfer period and turn on an n channel MOS transistor between the selected two data transfer lines for a predetermined period. A positive charge of a data transfer line can be effectively used to reduce current consumption.
摘要:
Shift switches are divided into a plurality of shift switch groups each having the same number of shift switches. The connection direction of each shift switch is switched at the shift switch corresponding to the shift position. The designation of the shift position is carried out by decoding an upper predecoding signal for designating what shift switch group the shift switch corresponding to the shift position belongs to and a lower predecoding signal for designating where the shift switch corresponding to the shift position is located in the shift switches belonging to the same shift switch group. Since the lower predecoding signal can be used as a common signal for each shift switch group, the scale of the decoding circuit for decoding the designation of the shift position can be restrained.
摘要:
A semiconductor integrated circuit device has a hierarchical power supply system for a logic circuit. Inverters are provided with power supply from a main power supply line and a sub-power supply line of a higher potential and a main ground line and a sub-ground line of a lower potential. An internal power supply voltage-down converter is placed to set the voltage of the main power supply line higher than a normal operation voltage of the higher potential. An internal supply voltage boosting circuit is placed to set the voltage of the main ground line lower than a normal operation voltage of the lower potential. When respective power supply lines are short-circuited by a switching transistor, the voltage of each power supply line can be maintained at an operation supply voltage.
摘要:
First and second pairs of input/output lines transfer mutually complementary data signals respectively. First and second selection circuits select a signal transfer line having the same potential as that of a signal transfer line not precedently selected from two precedently selected signal transfer lines among first to third signal transfer lines and the signal transfer line not precedently selected and connect first ends thereof to the first pair of input/output lines respectively while connecting second ends thereof to the second pair of input/output lines respectively. Thus, no precharging may be performed for equalizing the potentials of the two signal transfer lines selected for present data transfer with each other, and hence reduction of a data transfer rate can be prevented.
