    摘要: An integrated-circuit device comprises a combination of a microprocessor in the form of a circuit cell having a prescribed shape as an existing microprocessor and cache memories and a tag memory each in the form of a circuit cell. The tag memory have the same row addresses as the cache memories, and some of the row addresses are converted to column addresses. The tag memory is of a structure in which a basic structure similar to a conventional structure is divided into a plurality of parts in one of x and y directions, and the parts are arrayed in the other of the x and y directions. The tag memory thus shaped can be placed in a dead space on a circuit board, and hence an undesirable dead space can be eliminated from the integrated-circuit device.

    摘要: A semiconductor integrated circuit device has a first internal voltage controlling circuit which lowers an external power source voltage and produces a predetermined internal power source voltage. The device further has a second internal voltage controlling circuit formed by an internal-voltage drop detection circuit for detecting the lowering of the internal power source voltage from a predetermined reference voltage and a switching circuit for causing the external power source voltage to be directly connected to an internal voltage output terminal based on an output from the internal-voltage drop detection circuit. The internal power source voltage is maintained close to the required value thereby preventing a deterioration of circuit performance even when the external power source voltage drops close to the internal power source voltage.

    摘要: A dynamic random access memory device can enter a diagnostic mode of operation to see whether or not undesirable short-circuit takes place in a word line and/or a control signal line for transfer gates between bit lines and a sense amplifier unit, and a built-in testing operation discriminating unit discriminates the testing operation on the word lines and the control signal lines from other testing operations for causing a power supply system to interrupt electric power to a row address decoder unit and a driver unit for the control signal lines so that voltage level on a word line and/or a control signal line is rapidly decayed due to the short-circuit, thereby screening out the defective products before the delivery from the manufacturer.

    摘要: Semiconductor integrated circuit includes a MPU and a cache memory implemented by a plurality of DRAM macro blocks each disposed between the MPU and bonding pads of the chip. Each DRAM macro block has a redundancy function for replacing a defective row with a redundancy row of memory cells. A plurality of fuse blocks each for storing the row address of the defective row are arranged in a row, with the elongate sides of each of the fuse blocks extending parallel to the signal lines extending between the MPU and the bonding pads. The arrangement allows a large number of signal lines to pass the space between the fuse blocks, thereby allowing a smaller chip size.
