    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.

    摘要: There is disclosed a dynamic random access memory device of the type capable of periodic self-refresh cycles of operation. The DRAM includes the detector circuit for detecting the designation of the self-refresh mode and a voltage generator circuit for generating a voltage to precharge the bit line pair. During the self-controlled refresh cycle, the bit line pair is equalized and precharged to a voltage lower than Vcc/2. When it is attempted to set the time interval between the self-refresh cycles in order to reduce current consumption, the level of voltage stored in the memory cell capacitor tends to decrease due to charge leakage. However, it is implemented to provide and keep a potential difference between the precharge voltage on the bit line pair and the voltage stored in the capacitor thereby to secure the desired sensing margin for the sense amplifier.

    摘要: A semiconductor memory device such as a static RAM (Random Access Memory) device comprises a ground connection circuit of n channel field effect transistors connected between two I/O lines and the ground. The precharge circuit for precharging and the ground connection circuit both operate in response to the signal which is in synchronization with an externally applied external chip select signal. Therefore, the access delay derived from the fluctuation of the supply voltage generated before the change of the external chip select signal can be prevented.

    摘要: A MOS dynamic type RAM comprises memory cells (10), dummy cells (11), bit line pairs (BL, BL), word lines (WL), dummy word lines (DWL) and sense amplifiers (12). In a non-active cycle, the potentials of each pair of bit lines (BL, BL) are precharged at 1/2 of a supply potential V.sub.CC. Each sense amplifier (12) operates in an active cycle following the non-active cycle, while each active pull-up circuit (13) pulls up the potential of a higher level one of the pair of bit lines to V.sub.CC. This active cycle is defined by an internal RAS internal signal, which is generated by a NAND circuit (27) in response to an external RAS signal and an RPW signal obtained by delaying the external RAS signal by a delay circuit (20) and having a trailing edge obtained by delaying the trailing edge of the external RAS signal by a prescribed period.
