摘要: A programmable circuit for generating a clock signal is disclosed. The present invention provides a clock generator architecture that combines PLL-based clock generator circuitry with an on-chip EPROM in a monolithic clock generator chip. The clock generator allows for electrical configuration of various information including PLL parameters, input thresholds, output drive levels and output frequencies. The various parameters can be configured after the clock generator is fabricated. The parameters can be configured either during wafer sort or after packaging. The clock generator can be erased prior to packaging so programming can be verified.

摘要: A method and circuit for hiding a refresh of DRAM cells in a memory device. One embodiment of the circuit includes a selection circuit configured to select a first row of DRAM cells in the memory circuit in response to an active control signal. As a result, data may be read from or written to at least one of the DRAM cells in the first row. The selection circuit is also configured to couple a refresh address to a second row of DRAM cells in the memory circuit in response to an inactive state control signal. The second row of cells is refreshed when the selection circuit accesses the second row. For one embodiment, the DRAM cells are four transistor DRAM cells.
