A control system for an internal combustion engine having a plurality of cylinders and a switching mechanism for switching between an all-cylinder operation in which all of the cylinders is operated and a partial-cylinder operation in which at least one of the plurality of cylinders is halted. Operating parameters of a vehicle driven by the engine is detected. The all-cylinder operation or the partial-cylinder operation is performed according to the detected operating parameters. An oxygen concentration sensor is provided in an exhaust system corresponding to the at least one cylinder which is halted during the partial-cylinder operation. A failure of the oxygen concentration sensor is diagnosed in a predetermined operating condition including a fuel-cut operation of the engine upon deceleration. The partial-cylinder operation is permitted after completion of the failure diagnosis.

A delay circuit is interposed between first and second circuit systems both driven by a first supply voltage. The delay circuit delays a signal applied by the first circuit system, and then transmits the delayed signal to the second circuit system. In particular, a constant voltage supply circuit generates a second supply voltage (constant voltage) on the basis of the first supply voltage, and supplies the constant voltage to this delay circuit, so that a stable constant delay time can be obtained by the delay circuit without being subjected to the influence of fluctuations of the first supply voltage. All the circuit elements are formed on the same semiconductor substrate. Further, it is preferable to construct the constant voltage supply circuit in such a way that the output voltage thereof is programmable.

In a static random access memory, when data is written into said plurality of memory cells, a write enable signal is set at a low level, and after the data write is completed, the write enable signal is set at a high level. In response to a level change of the write enable signal from a low level to a high level, a pulse generator generates a pulse signal in "1" level and with a given pulse width. In response to this pulse signal, a first MOS transistor is turned on to short paired bit lines. This pulse signal turns on second and third MOS transistors. Then, the potentials on the paired bit lines are pulled up to a power source potential. As a result, of the two bit lines, the bit line which has been set at a low potential immediately after data is written, is charged. A pulse extension/inverting circuit extends the pulse width of the pulse signal generated by a pulse generator by a given time period, and inverts a logical state of the pulse signal. During a period that the first MOS transistor shorts the bit lines to place the equal potentials on the bit lines, the pulse signal .phi.WRD output from the pulse extension/inverting circuit is kept in "0" level. During this period, therefore, the output data of two AND gates is "0" level irrespective of the sensed data from a read circuit and the supply of the sensed data from the read circuit to a data output circuit is stopped.
摘要:
A control system for an internal combustion engine having a plurality of cylinders and a switching mechanism for switching between an all-cylinder operation in which all of the plurality of cylinders are operated and a partial-cylinder operation in which at least one of the plurality of cylinders is halted. A condition for performing the partial-cylinder operation is determined, based on the detected operating parameters of the vehicle driven by the engine. A result of the determination is modified so that the partial-cylinder operation may be continued, when the detected operating parameters satisfy a predetermined continuation condition within a predetermined time period from the time a vehicle operating state where the condition for performing the partial-cylinder operation is satisfied, has changed to another vehicle operating state where the condition for performing the partial-cylinder operation is not satisfied.

The gates 31, 32, 33 and 34 of a pair of driver transistors Q1, Q2 and a pair of address-selecting transistors Q3, Q4 are arranged so as to be perpendicular to bit lines BL, /BL. The drain regions of the driver transistors Q1, Q2 forming a flip-flop are arranged point-symmetrically around an element isolating region. The source regions of the driver transistors Q1, Q2 are arranged point-symmetrically. Similarly, the address-selecting transistors Q3, Q4 are arranged point-symmetrically. An upper wiring layer connected to two gates of the transistors are arranged so as to be perpendicular to the bit lines BL, /BL. Two Vss lines are formed in the same layer as that for the bit lines BL, /BL and arranged on both sides of the bit lines BL, /BL in parallel thereto. The Vss lines are connected to the source regions of the driver transistors. With this construction, the bi-stability of a memory cell used for a semiconductor memory device, such as a SRAM, is improved, so that the low-voltage operation and the hold characteristic are improved and software errors are removed. In addition, the aspect ratio of the cell is changed from the aspect ratio of a conventional, longitudinally extending cell to the aspect ratio of a laterally extending cell, so that the lengths of the bit lines are decreased to achieve a high speed operation.
