    摘要: A semiconductor memory device has a hierarchical bit line structure. The semiconductor memory device may include first and second memory cell clusters, which share the same bit line pair and are divided operationally; third and fourth memory cell clusters, which are connected respectively corresponding to word lines coupled with the first and second memory cell clusters, and which share a bit line pair different from the bit line pair and are divided operationally; and a column pass gate for switching one of bit line pairs connected with the first to fourth memory cell clusters, to a common sense amplifier, in response to a column selection signal. Whereby an operating speed decrease caused by load of peripheral circuits connected to the bit line is improved, and the number of column pass gates is reduced substantially with a reduction of chip size.

    摘要: A delay circuit in accordance with the present invention provides high-resolution changes in the time delay by utilizing a slope controller that generates an intermediate signal having sloping edges in response to edges in an input signal. A delay time controller generates an output signal having edges that begin when the level of the intermediate signal reaches a certain level. The overall time delay of the delay circuit can be varied by varying the slope of the edges of the intermediate signal, or by varying the level of the intermediate signal at which the delay time controller begins generating an edge in the output signal, or by varying both parameters. The slope controller and delay time controller can be realized with a plurality of tri-state inverters coupled in parallel for operating responsive to one or more select signals. By implementing the inverters with pull-up and pull-down transistors having different sizes, the overall time delay can be varied with very high resolution.
