    摘要: A memory device having a smaller circuit area but efficiently used is provided. A plurality of main word lines (MWL) extending in a row direction are connected through respective bank latches (BL) to a single global word line (GWL) extending across banks (BANK0, BANK1). Selective activation of an enable signal (BLE) and the global word line (GWL) selects one of the bank latches (BL) to selectively activate an associated main word line (MWL). This state is held by the selected bank latch (BL) after the enable signal (BLE) is inactivated. Then, another enable signal (BLE) is activated to selectively activate another main word line (MWL). Sub-decoders (SD) connected to the main word lines (MWL) are selected independently of each other to independently activate word lines (WL) for each bank (BANK).

    摘要: A conductor line is placed at a layer overlying an input protection circuit electrically coupled to a pad such that the conductor line covers at least a part of the input protection circuit. The conductor line having a sufficiently large width disperses and absorbs the heat generated from the input protection circuit. Since the input protection circuit and the conductor line have a region overlapping with each other in the layout of plan view, an area for layout of the input protection circuit on a chip can be reduced effectively, and prevention of a destruction of the protection circuit due to the heat as well as an improvement of a resistance to the surge can be obtained.

    摘要: Memory mats provided in four regions formed by dividing a semiconductor chip are each further divided into a plurality of memory arrays along the longer side direction of the chip, row related circuits are provided between the memory arrays along the shorter side direction of the chip, and column decoders are provided along the longer side direction of the chip. An internal control signal from a master control circuit in the central part of the chip is transmitted in the central region with respect to the shorter side direction of the chip, buffer circuits are provided to an internal control signal transmission bus, and an internal signal is transmitted to the row related circuit and the column decoder by the buffer circuit. The length of the signal line to drive is shortened, and therefore the signal can be transmitted at a high speed, thus enabling high speed accessing. Thus, signal propagation delay can be reduced even if the chip size increases.

    摘要: A substrate potential generating circuit can generate a lower substrate potential. The substrate potential generating circuit includes a clock signal generating circuit and first and second charge pump circuits. The first charge pump circuit including a p-channel MOS transistor having its source electrode connected to the semiconductor substrate applies a first negative potential to the drain electrode by capacitive coupling of a capacitor. The second charge pump circuit including first and second sub-charge pump circuit applies a third negative potential to the gate electrode when the first negative potential is applied to the drain electrode, and thereafter provides a second potential by lowering the third potential. As a result, the p-channel MOS transistor is turned on until a substrate potential is brought into a potential equal to the first potential applied to the drain electrode, lowering the substrate potential to the first potential.

    摘要: In a DRAM having a complete hidden refresh function, when data refresh is to be carried out in an active mode, a signal for selecting a way is set to an “H” level and then reset to an “L” level at each cycle while the corresponding upper address is designated. When data refresh is to be carried out in a standby mode, the signal for selecting the way is maintained at an “H” level and is not reset to an “L” level while the corresponding upper address is designated. This can reduce the standby current.
