    摘要: The display unit can reduce the electric power consumed by the process of calculating an adjustment coefficient for display data, as typified by gradient control, and it can be readily adapted even to a display panel with a higher resolution. The display unit includes: a plurality of driving units arrayed in parallel and each operable to output a drive signal to a display panel; a plurality of first calculation units, and a plurality of display RAMs, each paired with one first calculation unit, the pairs of the first calculation units and display RAMs laid out along a direction of the parallel array of the driving units; and a second calculation unit which distributes display data supplied from outside to the display RAMs, receives display data from the display RAMs in parallel to analyze a histogram of tone distribution of pixel data corresponding to one screen, and calculates the adjustment coefficient based on a result of the analysis. In the display unit, the adjustment coefficient thus calculated is sent back to the first calculation units. The first calculation unit performs a calculation using display data read from the corresponding display RAM and the adjustment coefficient thereby to create drive data for the display panel.

    摘要: An integrated circuit formed on a semiconductor chip includes voltage regulators for stepping down an externally-supplied power voltage to produce an internal power voltage, and internal circuits which operate based on the internal power voltage. The voltage regulators are laid in the area of the buffers and protective elements for the input/output signals and power voltages so that the overhead area due to the on-chip provision of the voltage regulators is minimized. The internal power voltage is distributed to the internal circuits through a looped main power line, with an electrode pad for connecting an external capacitor for stabilizing the internal power voltage being provided on it, so that the internal power voltage is stabilized and the power consumption of the integrated circuit is minimized.

    摘要: A method of determining defects in photomasks according to the present invention is designed to increase the yield of the manufacture of photomasks and to decrease the cost of inspecting the photomasks. In the method, circuit data 1 representing a circuit to be formed on a semiconductor substrate by photolithography is prepared, and layout data 2 is prepared from the circuit data 1. The layout data is converted to compensated layout data by performing RET. Further, mask-manufacturing data is developed from the compensated layout data. To form patterns on a semiconductor substrate by photolithography, attribute information is imparted to the mask-manufacturing data. The attribute information represents whether the patterns are adaptive to electrically active regions or electrically non-active region. In the mask-inspecting process 6, a criterion for determining whether the patterns formed on the photomasks have defects is changed in accordance with the attribute information.

    摘要: A semiconductor device capable of reducing power consumption is provided. When a power to an internal circuit is interrupted, e.g., in a standby mode, a switch is turned off, and a pseudo-ground line is charged with a leak current of the internal circuit to raise a potential thereof. After the switch is turned off, a switch connected to a charge supply unit is turned on while the potential is rising, so that the charge supply unit is electrically coupled to the pseudo-ground line. Thereby, charges accumulated in the charge supply unit are discharged to the pseudo-ground line. The switch is turned off to decouple electrically the charge supply unit from the pseudo-ground line. Thereby, when the power supply is interrupted, a part of the charges for raising the potential of the pseudo-ground line is supplemented with the charges of the charge supply unit.

    摘要: A memory cell capacitor (C3) of a DRAM is formed by use of a MIM capacitor which uses as its electrode a metal wiring line of the same layer (M3) as metal wiring lines within a logic circuit (LOGIC), thereby enabling reduction of process costs. Higher integration is achievable by forming the capacitor using a high dielectric constant material and disposing it above a wiring layer in which bit lines (BL) are formed. In addition, using 2T cells makes it possible to provide a sufficient signal amount even when letting them operate with a low voltage. By commonizing the processes for fabricating capacitors in analog (ANALOG) and memory (MEM), it is possible to realize a semiconductor integrated circuit with the logic, analog and memory mounted together on one chip at low costs.

    摘要: A memory cell mat is divided into a plurality of entries, and an arithmetic logic unit is arranged corresponding to each entry. Between the entries and the corresponding arithmetic logic units, arithmetic/logic operation is executed in bit-serial and entry-parallel manner. Where parallel operation is not very effective, data is transferred in entry-serial and bit-parallel manner to a group of processors provided at a lower portion of the memory mat. In this manner, a large amount of data can be processed at high speed regardless of the contents of operation or data bit width.
