    Abstract: The present invention relates to a drowsiness detection method. A heartbeat signal and a breathing signal are detected by exploiting together a scheme and an optical system scheme. The detected signals are applied to respective amplification units, noise signals are eliminated from the detected signals, and noise-free signals are amplified. The amplified signals are applied to a central processing unit, signal processing is processed on the signals, and processed signals are combined. The combined signal is counted, and a warning sound, voice message or vibration is output in a case where a value, obtained by subtracting a counted output value monitored one minute before a current time, from a counted output value monitored two minutes before the current time, falls within a detection range and where, with a passage of time, the value falling within the detection range is successively detected from two to ten times.

    Abstract: An on-die thermal sensor includes an integrating analog-digital converter not requiring a negative reference voltage input. The on die thermal sensor includes a band gap unit, an integrating unit and a counting unit. The band gap unit senses a temperature to output a first voltage corresponding to the sensed temperature. The integrating unit integrates a difference between a reference voltage and a comparing voltage to output a second voltage wherein the comparing voltage has a voltage level higher than that of the reference voltage. The counting unit counts clocks of a clock signal input thereto until the second voltage reaches the first voltage, thereby outputting a thermal code corresponding to the voltage level of the first voltage.

    Abstract: An impedance matching circuit of a semiconductor memory device performs a ZQ calibration with initial values that reflect an offset error according to variations in a manufacturing process. The impedance matching circuit includes a first pull-down resistance unit, a first pull-up resistance unit, and a code generation unit. The first pull-down resistance unit supplies a ground voltage to a first node, thereby determining an initial pull-down code. The first pull-up resistance unit supplies a supply voltage to the first node, thereby determining an initial pull-up code or a voltage level on the first node. The code generation unit generates pull-down and pull-up calibration codes using the initial pull-down and pull-up codes as respective initial values.

    Abstract: A DLL of a memory device having a normal mode and a power down mode includes a clock buffer for buffering an external clock signal to output an internal clock signal. A power down mode controller generates a power down mode control signal to define the normal mode or the power down mode in response to a clock enable signal. A source clock generation unit receives the internal clock signal to generate a DLL source clock signal under the control of the power down mode control signal. A phase update unit performs a phase update operation based on the DLL source clock signal to output a DLL clock signal.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an internal voltage generation circuit of a semiconductor memory device which is capable of supplying voltages of different levels to a column path & control logic and data path & control logic in the memory device according to different operation modes of the memory device. The column path & control logic and data path & control logic are applied with a normal operating voltage when they are involved in the current operation mode of the memory device, whereas with a lower voltage when they are not involved. Therefore, the present invention has the effect of efficiently managing internal voltages of the semiconductor memory device and reducing current leakage of the memory device and, in turn, unnecessary power consumption thereof.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device stabilizes an operation of an input buffer. A semiconductor device includes an input potential detection unit, an input buffer, and a current sink unit. The input potential detection unit outputs a detection signal in response to a level of an input signal. The input buffer buffers the input signal by differentially amplifying the input signal through a first current sink unit. The current sink unit receives the detection signal, and in response to the detection signal, performs an auxiliary differential amplifying operation with respect to the input signal buffered by the input buffer.
