    摘要: Each delay unit is divided into two delay unit groups, the preceding stage side and the succeeding stage side. To the delay unit group in the preceding stage side, power supply voltage is supplied via a power supply terminal, and to each delay unit of the delay unit group in the succeeding stage side, power supply voltage is supplied from the power supply terminal via a power supply control switch. A forward-pulse detecting circuit detects that forward pulse was propagated to a stage between the N-th stage and a stage a predetermined number of stages before the N-th, and outputs the detected result to the power supply control switch. With this operation, when forward pulse is propagated to the (N+1)th stage, power supply voltage is supplied also to the delay unit group in the succeeding stage side. As electric power is not supplied to the delay unit group in the succeeding stage side when forward pulse is not propagated to the (N+1)th stage, wasteful consumption of electric power is prevented.

    摘要: A state-holding circuit initializing circuit initializes state-holding circuit when propagation of forward pulse to the forward-pulse delay circuits in the last stage is detected. With this operation, synchronization is established in a short time from the resumption of outputting from a receiver. The state-holding circuit control circuit also controls the reset timing of the state-holding circuit. A forward-pulse adjusting circuit controls the pulse width of forward pulse to be supplied to the forward-pulse delay line. With this operation, the stages from the stage where rearward pulse was generated to the first stage are securely turned to the set state, enabling propagation of rearward pulse and synchronization is established. Thus, synchronization is established reliably even when output from a receiver stops or the duty of an external clock signal is heavy.

    摘要: In a semiconductor memory system, an SDRAM comprises a memory cell array 101 which is divided into a plurality of cell array blocks, a column decoder, a row decoder, and a sense amplifier circuit. In the SDRAM, a first operation mode with a first cycle time is set when successive access within a cell array block is conducted, a second operation mode with a second cycle time shorter than the first cycle time is set when successive access covering the cell array blocks being apart from each other is conducted and a third operation mode with a medium cycle time is set when successive access covering the cell array blocks adjacent to each other is conducted. With the above constitution, a high speed access can be realized without provision of a specific accessory circuit while suppressing overhead for a semiconductor chip size.
