    摘要: A boosting circuit is provided with a voltage detection circuit, first through fourth oscillators, and first through fourth charge pump circuits. The voltage detection circuit compares each of the first through fourth voltages obtained by dividing a boosted voltage with a reference voltage, and generates first through fourth activation signals. The first through fourth oscillators output pulse signals at first through fourth frequencies, respectively, as first through fourth drive signals. The first through fourth charge pump circuits operate in response to the first through fourth drive signals, respectively, and boost the boosted voltage. Accordingly, it is possible to provide a stable boosted voltage, with suppressing over shoot and under shoot with respect to the boosted voltage as a target.

    摘要: A conductor line is placed at a layer overlying an input protection circuit electrically coupled to a pad such that the conductor line covers at least a part of the input protection circuit. The conductor line having a sufficiently large width disperses and absorbs the heat generated from the input protection circuit. Since the input protection circuit and the conductor line have a region overlapping with each other in the layout of plan view, an area for layout of the input protection circuit on a chip can be reduced effectively, and prevention of a destruction of the protection circuit due to the heat as well as an improvement of a resistance to the surge can be obtained.

    摘要: An image sensor with a small circuit area is provided. In the image sensor, a TX decoder which generates transfer signals TX includes a latch circuit. The latch circuit is set when a corresponding row group is selected and when a set signal is set to an “H” level, and is reset when a reset signal is set to an “L” level. The latch circuit serves also as a voltage level shift circuit which converts the “H” level of a signal from a first power supply voltage into a second power supply voltage. Therefore, plural row groups can be selected by setting plural latch circuits. It is not necessary to provide a voltage level shift circuit separately.

    摘要: When data “1” is stored in a memory cell, a bit line is driven to an H level (control line drive potential) and the other bit line is driven to an L level (reference potential) when a sense operation is completed. When a verify write operation is initiated, a charge line is driven from an H level (power supply potential) to an L level (reference potential). By the GIDL current from a source line, accumulation of holes is initiated again for a storage node subsequent to discharge of holes, whereby the potential of the storage node rises towards an H level (period α). When the charge line is driven to an H level from an L level, the potential of the storage node further rises (period β).
