    摘要: In a semiconductor integrated circuit device, a voltage setting circuit for setting a voltage level on the sub power source voltage line according to a reference voltage from a reference voltage generating circuit, is provided between a main power source voltage line and a sub power source voltage line. While a current consumption at the standby cycle is reduced, increase of the access delay is prevented. The voltage setting circuit includes a differential amplifier for differentially amplifying a voltage on the sub power source line and the reference voltages and a transistor responsive to an output of the differential amplifier for causing a current flow between the main and sub power source lines, or alternatively a diode-connected insulated gate type transistor receiving the reference voltage at a back gate thereof.

    摘要: A semiconductor circuit or a MOS-DRAM wherein a converter is provided that converts substrate potential or body bias potential between two values for MOS-FETs in a logic circuit, memory cells, and operating circuit of the MOS-DRAM, thereby raising the threshold voltage of the MOS-FETs when in the standby state and lowering it when in active state. The converter includes a level shift circuit and a switch circuit. The substrate potential or body bias potential is controlled only of the MOS-FETs which are nonconducting in the standby state; this configuration achieves a reduction in power consumption associated with the potential switching. Furthermore, in a structure where MOS-FETs of the same conductivity type are formed adjacent to each other, MOS-FETs of SOI structure are preferable for better results.

    摘要: A dynamic random access memory amplifier arrangement includes a sense amplifier band shared between two different memory blocks. In this memory, only sense amplifiers related to a selected memory block are activated. The memory comprises a circuit for boosting a control signal voltage to a switching unit for connecting the selected memory block to the sense amplifiers up to a level higher than a power supply voltage Vcc during the activation of the sense amplifiers, and a circuit for separating a memory block paired with the selected memory block from the activated sense amplifiers during the sensing operation. The memory further comprises a circuit for generating a control signal of the power supply voltage Vcc and connecting all the memory blocks to the corresponding sense amplifiers in a stand-by state wherein a row address strobe signal is inactive. With this arrangement, a highly reliable memory consuming less power can be achieved which ensures data writing and/or rewriting at a full Vcc level.

    摘要: An arrangement for providing a compensation of capacitance coupling between word lines and bit lines in a memory structure including twisted bit lines. Two dummy word lines maintained at a predetermined potential are formed at a twisted portion of a pair of bit lines. Dummy cells are provided at respective twisted portions of the dummy word lines and the bit lines. A plurality of word lines are formed in a direction intersecting with the bit lines and the word lines are divided into four word line groups according to positions of the twisted portions of the bit line pairs. When an arbitrary word line is selected, a potential of at least one dummy word line corresponding to the word line group to which the selected word line belongs is lowered. Consequently, the rise of the potential of the bit lines caused by the selection of the word line is compensated for by the lowering of the potential of at least one dummy word line, making it possible to decrease errors in reading. Particular cell layer arrangements simplify increase in integration density in the combination of dummy cell compensation with the twisted bit line balancing of capacitance coupling.

    摘要: A trigger producing circuit provides a trigger signal. A delay circuit receives the trigger signal, and provides a delay signal produced by delaying the trigger signal. A clock counter receives clocks, counts the received clocks for a period from reception of the trigger signal to reception of the delay signal, and provides a result of the counting. A determining circuit stores a relationship between the number of clocks and a latency, and determines the latency corresponding to the result of counting provided from the clock counter. A latency register holds the determined latency. A WAIT control circuit externally provides a WAIT signal based on the latency held in the latency register.
