    摘要: Each memory cell has a pair of inverters whose inputs and outputs are connected to each other and holds complementary data respectively in storage nodes which are outputs of the inverters. In a write operation during which the complementary data are written to the storage nodes respectively, the power control circuit sets a power supply voltage of the inverter having the storage node to which low level is written lower than a power supply voltage of the inverter having the storage node to which high level is written. Since power supply capability to the inverter having the storage node to which the low level is written lowers, the voltage of the storage node easily changes to the low level. That is, a write margin of a memory cell can be improved.

    摘要: A logic circuit improves a marginal voltage of a p-channel metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) transistor which is driven through a bipolar complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) gate. The logic circuit has a bipolar CMOS gate having a CMOS gate and output stage bipolar transistors for receiving an input signal through the CMOS gate, where the CMOS gate and the output stage bipolar transistors are driven by first and second power source voltages. The first power source voltage is higher than the second power source voltage and the output stage bipolar transistors output a signal as an output signal of the bipolar CMOS gate. A p-channel MOS transistor has a gate supplied with the output signal of the bipolar CMOS gate, a source supplied with a third power source voltage, and a drain from which an output signal of the logic circuit is outputted. The third power source voltage is a predetermined value lower than the first power source voltage and higher than the second power source voltage. As a result, the turning OFF of the p-channel MOS transistor is guaranteed due to the improved marginal voltage.

The semiconductor device also has a plurality of memory cell arrays, each coupled to an I/O port for receiving and sending memory signals. One of those arrays is reserved as a redundant memory cell array for repair purposes. The device further has switch circuits for switching the connection between the I/O ports and memory cell arrays, selecting either default memory cell arrays of the I/O ports or their adjacent memory cell arrays, including the redundant memory cell array.
