    Abstract: A semiconductor device stabilizes an operation of an input buffer. A semiconductor device includes an input potential detection unit outputting a detection signal in response to a level of an input signal. An input buffer buffers the input signal by performing a differential amplifying operation through a first current sink unit. A second current sink unit, sharing an output with the input buffer, differentially amplifies the input signal of the input buffer in response to a level of the detection signal.

    Abstract: An internal voltage generator capable of reducing the variation width in the level of an internal voltage VPP, by performing charge pumping only a predetermined number of times in a period where an oscillator driving signal is at a logic HIGH level, and then stopping the charge pumping operation. The oscillator controller generates an oscillation control signal for stopping an oscillation operation of a ring oscillator by using an output signal of a level detector and an output signal of the ring oscillator. The ring oscillator does not generate an oscillation signal at a predetermined time point where an output signal of the level detector is at a HIGH level in response to the oscillation control signal. The charge pump circuit generates an internal voltage by performing a charge pumping operation only predetermined times in response to the oscillation signal, and then stopping the charge pumping operation.

    Abstract: A nonvolatile ferroelectric memory device is provided so as to control read/write operations of a nonvolatile memory cell using a channel resistance of the memory cell which is differentiated by polarity states of a ferroelectric material. In the memory device, an insulating layer is formed on a bottom word line, and a floating channel layer comprising a P-type drain region, a P-type channel region and a P-type source region is formed on the insulating layer. Then, a ferroelectric layer is formed on the floating channel layer, and a word line is formed on the ferroelectric layer. As a result, the resistance state induced to the channel region is controlled depending on the polarity of the ferroelectric layer, thereby regulating the read/write operations of the memory cell array.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus of converting a series of data words into modulated signals generates for each data words, a number of intermediate sequences by combining mutually different digital words with a data word, scrambles the intermediate sequences to form alternative sequences, translates each alternataive sequence into a (d,k) constrained sequences, measures for each (d,k) constrained sequences, not only an inclusion rate of an undesired sub-sequence but also a running DSV (Digital Sum Value), and selects one (d,k) constrained sequence having a small inclusion rate for recording on an optical or magneto-optical recording medium among the (d,k) constrained sequences having maximum value of running DSV, smaller than a preset limit. Accordingly, efficient DSV control can be achieved for even relatively-long sequences.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a bias stabilization circuit, specifically to a bias stabilization circuit for minimizing the current variations of amplification transistors caused by variations of device parameters which occur during the manufacturing of high-frequency integrated circuits using field-effect transistors, and caused by variations of supply voltage and temperature. In the present invention, the above problem is solved by configuring a level shifter circuit between the drain node and the gate node of the reference voltage generation transistor. Further, by using a constant current source utilizing a depletion transistor and series feedback resistors as a reference current, this circuit becomes stable against the variations of the device parameters as well as the variations of the temperature and supply voltage.

    Abstract: This invention relates to a synchronous dynamic random access memory in a semiconductor memory device, and particularly to a SDRAM in which a user can program a two (2) bank option or a four (4) bank option using an external signal so that it is possible to select one or more banks. An input section receives an external signal, an operation mode section stores an output signal from the input section, and a bank transformation section selects one or more banks using an output signal from the operation mode memory section. When adapted to a SDRAM, it is possible to operate a circuit having banks of different number from each other using an identical design.
