    摘要: A controlling signal generating unit generates a bit line controlling signal, a word line signal, a sense amplifier activating signal, and a column line signal. The bit line controlling signal activates a resetting circuit which resets a bit line. The word line signal controls the connection between a memory cell and the bit line which transmits data to the memory cell. The sense amplifier activating signal activates a sense amplifier which amplifies data transmitted to the bit line. The column line signal activates a column switch which transmits data to the bit line. The controlling signal generating unit activates predetermined signal(s) among the word line signal, the sense amplifier activating signal, the bit line controlling signal, and the column line signal at the start of a write operation. The controlling signal generating unit activates the remaining signal(s) after the acceptance of write data. Since the predetermined signal(s) is/are activated without the acceptance of write data, it is possible to make the activating timing of the remaining signal(s) earlier. This consequently reduces the time necessary for a write operation.

    摘要: The present invention is a memory circuit having a plurality of word lines, a plurality of bit line pairs, and memory cells disposed at the cross-position thereof. The memory comprises: a sense amplifier which is shared by the first bit line pair and the second bit line pair disposed in the column direction and amplifies a voltage of the bit line pairs; a first and a second bit line transfer gates which are disposed between the sense amplifier and the first and second bit line pairs, and connects the bit line pair at the selected memory cell side to the sense amplifier; a bit line clamper, which is disposed between the first and second bit line transfer gates, is shared by the first bit line pair and the second bit line pair, and supplies the precharge level to the bit line pairs; and a bit line short circuit, which is disposed at the first and the second bit line pairs respectively and shorts the bit line pairs. According to the above structure, the reset operation involving a bit line short operation can be executed at high-speed, since the bit line short circuit is disposed for each bit line pair. Also area efficiency can be improved since the bit line clamper circuit is shared by the first and the second bit line pairs.

    摘要: A semiconductor device includes a memory core with a plurality of memory cells, an internal voltage generator and a low power entry circuit. The low power entry circuit receives a plurality of control signals which are provided to a command decoder, and generates a low power signal indicating a low power consumption mode where a refresh operation is prohibited. The internal voltage generator includes a detector and at least one of booster circuits. The internal voltage generator, coupled to the memory core via an internal power supply line, generates a boosted internal voltage based on an external voltage and supplies the boosted internal voltage to the memory core via the internal power supply line. The internal voltage generator stops supplying the boosted internal voltage to the internal power supply line in response to the low power signal while the external voltage is supplied to the semiconductor device.

    摘要: When a neighbor ONU receives a signal with light intensity high enough to secure communication between an OLT and a remote ONU, the light intensity may be excessively high to damage a receiver of the neighbor ONU. In order to avoid such a problem, each ONU is notified of a downstream signal transmission plan (downstream light intensity map) prior to transmission of a downstream signal. Each ONU receives the downstream light intensity map (light intensity transmission schedule of downstream signal) in advance. Thus, the neighbor ONU can block or attenuate an optical signal addressed to the remote ONU, and the remote ONU can determine normal operation even when the remote ONU cannot receive a signal addressed to the neighbor ONU. Thus, the remote ONU can be prevented from issuing a wrong error signal.
