    摘要: A memory structure/circuit has at least two memory cell arrays connected to each other in a hierarchy. The bit lines of the two or more memory cell arrays are connected by hierarchy switches. The memory cells of one of the arrays can be read out faster than the others by using the hierarchy switches to select one array without selecting the other arrays. So the data that is read with higher frequency can be selectively read out faster if it is stored in the faster access memory array. If the data in the faster access memory cell array includes a copy of the data in the other array, it can be used as a cache memory. A tag array and data array in combination that are connected to another tag array and data array in combination through hierarchy switch connections can provide a cache memory that is direct mapped or set associative, and also full associative. The memory device can be used in a semiconductor data processor having a CPU in which the memory device is connected to the CPU through a bus, wherein both the CPU and the memory device are formed on a single semiconductor substrate. The memory device can also be an off-chip device.

    摘要: A memory using an SRAM memory cell intended for low-voltage operation is designed to decrease the threshold value of MOS transistors constituting the memory cell without substantial decrease in the static noise margin, which is the operational margin of the memory cell. To this end, a voltage Vdd′ higher than a power supply voltage Vdd of a power supply line for peripheral circuits is supplied from a power supply line for memory cells as a power supply voltage for memory cells. Since the conductance of driver MOS transistors is increased, the threshold voltage of the MOS transistors within the memory cells can be reduced without reducing the static noise margin. Further the ratio of width between the driver MOS transistor and a transfer MOS transistor can be set to 1, thereby allowing a reduction in the memory cell area.

    摘要: The need for mediation operation is eliminated by adoption of a connection topology in which a circuit for executing one transmission (TR—00T), and a circuit for executing a plurality of receptions (TR—10R, TR—20R, TR—30R) are connected to one penetration-electrode group (for example, TSVGL—0). In order to implement the connection topology even in the case of piling up a plurality of LSIs one after another, in particular, a programmable memory element for designating respective penetration-electrode ports for use in transmit, or for us in receive, and address allocation of the respective penetration-electrode ports is mounted in stacked LSIs.

    摘要: In a stacked chip system, an IO circuit connected to a TSV pad for IO and a switch circuit constitute an IO channel in each chip, the IO channels as many as the maximum scheduled number of stacks are coupled together and connected to constitute an IO group, and the chip has one or more such IO groups. Each TSV pad for IO is connected with a through via to an IO terminal at the same position in a chip of another layer. On an interposer, if the actual number of stacks is less than the maximum scheduled number of stacks, connection pads for IO in adjacent IO groups on the interposer are connected via a conductor.
