摘要:
A voltage generation control circuit of a semiconductor memory device and method thereof are provided. A period tD, which is delayed for a given time after an internal row active time (tRAS) is secured since an active command is input, is set as an active operating period. An internal latency period, a burst length period and a latency delay period tDLT are set as a read/write operating period after a read/write command is input. A period tDRP delayed for a given time after a precharge command is input is set as a precharge operating period. In this state, a voltage generator is controlled to generate an active voltage only in the operating periods.

The apparatus for generating a driving voltage for a sense amplifier has at least voltage output means, and first and second core voltage step-up means. The voltage output means outputs a voltage for driving the sense amplifier to a node. Each of the first and second core voltage step-up means are connected between a power supply and the node. The first and second core voltage step-up means are turned on in sequence to elevate the voltage level of the node connected with the sense amplifier up to the level of the power supply. This enhances the performance of the sense amplifier as well as the execute detection amplification in a short time period. The first and second core voltage step-up means are turned on in sequence to elevate the core voltage as the driving voltage, reducing the power noise. Each core voltage step-up driver may be installed in each bank to reduce power consumption.

A semiconductor memory device prevents deterioration of refresh operation caused by sensing noise and a driving method thereof. First pull-down and second pull-down voltages which are different from each other are as a pull-down voltage of a bit line sense amplifier. The first and the second pull-down voltages are used in different driving periods to protect data from noises caused by another memory bank. A driving period can be separated into an initial sensing period, wherein large currents are consumed and significant noise is generated, and a subsequent stable period. The driving period can be separated into a pre-precharge period and a post-precharge period.

Disclosed herein is a method of compensating for the distorted secondary current of a current transformer. The method includes steps (a), (b) and (c). At step (a), the saturated section of the current transformer is detected. At step (b), fault current generated during a fault in a power system is represented using an AutoRegressive (AR) model, with the fault current being assumed to be a combination of a Direct Current (DC) offset component, a fundamental wave component and a harmonic component. At step (c), normal secondary current during the saturation of the current transformer is estimated using a plurality of pieces of sampled secondary current data, based on the estimated coefficient of the AR model.
