    摘要: Each delay unit is divided into two delay unit groups, the preceding stage side and the succeeding stage side. To the delay unit group in the preceding stage side, power supply voltage is supplied via a power supply terminal, and to each delay unit of the delay unit group in the succeeding stage side, power supply voltage is supplied from the power supply terminal via a power supply control switch. A forward-pulse detecting circuit detects that forward pulse was propagated to a stage between the N-th stage and a stage a predetermined number of stages before the N-th, and outputs the detected result to the power supply control switch. With this operation, when forward pulse is propagated to the (N+1)th stage, power supply voltage is supplied also to the delay unit group in the succeeding stage side. As electric power is not supplied to the delay unit group in the succeeding stage side when forward pulse is not propagated to the (N+1)th stage, wasteful consumption of electric power is prevented.

    摘要: A state-holding circuit initializing circuit initializes state-holding circuit when propagation of forward pulse to the forward-pulse delay circuits in the last stage is detected. With this operation, synchronization is established in a short time from the resumption of outputting from a receiver. The state-holding circuit control circuit also controls the reset timing of the state-holding circuit. A forward-pulse adjusting circuit controls the pulse width of forward pulse to be supplied to the forward-pulse delay line. With this operation, the stages from the stage where rearward pulse was generated to the first stage are securely turned to the set state, enabling propagation of rearward pulse and synchronization is established. Thus, synchronization is established reliably even when output from a receiver stops or the duty of an external clock signal is heavy.

    摘要: A dynamic random access memory with two divided memory banks is disclosed wherein memory cells are divided into first and second groups each of which includes an array of memory cells connected to a corresponding word line. Those memory cells are subdivided into subgroups each of which has four memory cells. A first set of input/output lines is provided for the first group of memory cells, and a second set of input/output lines is provided for the second group of memory cells. An output circuit section is connected to the those sets of input/output lines to output data transferred thereto. An access controller section specifies subgroups alternately from the first and second groups of memory cells with four memory cells as a substantial access minimum unit, accesses memory cells of a specified subgroup to read stored data therefrom and transfers the read data to corresponding input/output lines associated therewith. The read data is supplied to the output circuit section for conversion to serial data and then output therefrom.
