    摘要: A semiconductor memory device includes a plurality of banks #0 to #3, a predecoder that generates a predecode signal, first latch circuits, each of which is assigned to the banks, that hold a first portion of the predecode signal, a main decoder that is assigned in common to the two banks, and receives a second portion of the predecode signal and outputs of the first latch circuits. The main decoder includes latch circuits that hold by each bank a decoded signal obtained by decoding the second portion of the predecode signal. In the present invention, an address through predecoder is used to latch a predecode signal, and hence it becomes possible to share one portion of the predecode signal between the banks.

    摘要: A boosted potential generation circuit enables a high-speed operation and even miniaturization in a semiconductor memory even if external power supply voltage is reduced in the semiconductor memory. In the boosted potential generation circuit provided with a capacitor MOS transistor and a transfer MOS transistor and used for a DRAM including memory cells, a gate insulating film of the capacitor MOS transistor is thinner than that of the MOS transistor constituting the memory cell to realize a boosted potential generation circuit which has a small area and a large capacity. In this case, preferably, the gate insulating film of the transfer MOS transistor has a thickness which is not greater than that of the gate insulating film of the capacitor MOS transistor.

    摘要: In synchronism with an active command, a row address and a column address are simultaneously received, and a page address is received in synchronism with a read command or a write command. Word drivers select a word line based on the row address, and column switches select a bit line based on the column address. A page address decoder selects any one of read/write amplifiers corresponding to each page based on the page address. With this configuration, a specification for a DRAM such as an access cycle can be satisfied without arranging an amplifier for each bit line, and thus it becomes possible to secure a compatibility with a DRAM while reducing a chip area.
