An arrangement which is particularly effective for decoders in semiconductor memory circuits which use, for example, common NMOS to receive one input for a plurality of logic decoder gates is provided includes a plurality of logic gates each having a first input terminal for respectively receiving first input signals, and each being coupled to a common node. In one embodiment, first and second switching elements are also coupled to the common node. The first and second switching elements are both coupled to a second input terminal for receiving a second input signal which is common to the plurality of logic gates, and both operate complementary to one another in response to the second input signal. An improved read/write arrangement is also provided for such semiconductor memory circuits which includes circuitry to prevent connection of a common read line to the data lines during the writing operation. This enhances the writing speed by removing the load of the common read line during writing.

An improved buffer circuit arrangement is provided which is particularly useful for semiconductor integrated circuit semiconductor memories and microprocessors. The buffer circuit is capable of switching large loads in various types of LSIs, and features a low noise and high speed circuit operation. This is accomplished by a parallel connection of output transistors in an output buffer circuit, and by differentiating the starting time of operation between the output transistors connected in parallel without using a delay circuit. For example, differentiating the starting times can be achieved by either providing the transistors with different characteristics from one another or the driving circuits with different characteristics from one another. Another aspect of the circuit is the provision of a two-level preset arrangement which presets the output node of the circuit to predetermined values before the input signals are applied.

In a semiconductor integrated circuit device generating internal power from external power, an abnormal operation may occur due to an indefinite state of a control signal when the external power is applied and the internal power rises. The semiconductor integrated circuit includes an internal power generating circuit, a control circuit receiving internal power and supplying a first control signal, and a power-on reset circuit generating a reset signal at rising of the internal power. When internal power rises, the reset signal masks an indefinite state of the first control signal supplied from the control circuit.

Read buffers (RB0-RB3) are capable of holding data read out from a plurality of memory blocks (BNK0-BNK7) that are capable of parallel operation in response to a state in which the read data cannot be externally outputted from an external interface means; and, selection means (40, 41, 42) are provided for selecting data read out from one of the memory blocks, or data read out from one of the read buffers, and for feeding it to the external interface means, while the external-output-incapable state is not present. In this way, when there is a possibility that an output of read data will cause a resource competition, this read data is stored in a read buffer, and when there is no such possibility, then the read data can be externally outputted directly, thereby improving the throughput of read data output operations.

The column address strobe signal (CAS) which is changed in cycles as many as a plurality of times that of a clock signal cycle is input to the memory block (MBK0 to MBKn). A plurality of serial data readout from the memory cell array (10) and parallel/serial converted by a parallel/serial converter circuit (21) in synchronism with a clock signal cycle are output for every cycle when the column address signal (CASADR) is changed. Parallel data input to the memory block and serial/parallel converted by a serial/parallel converter circuit (25) in synchronism with the clock signal cycle are written in the memory cell array. In this way, the access specification that the column address strobe signal is varied once per n cycles of the clock signal allows for a more rapid memory operation.
