摘要： An integrated semiconductor memory having memory cells (MC) for storing data signals (DQ), has a memory sense amplifier (2) with an input (21) for a data signal (DQ) of one of the memory cells (MC), and an output (23) for at least one output signal (RD0). A driver circuit (3) is connected to the output (23) of the memory sense amplifier (2). The driver circuit (3) can be activated or deactivated only by the output signal (RD0) of the memory sense amplifier (2). A signal line (4) is connected to the driver circuit (3), a precharging circuit (5) and to a memory circuit (6). A terminal (7) for a control signal (C) is connected to the memory sense amplifier (2), the precharging circuit (5) and the memory circuit (6). As result of a driver circuit (3) which has a relatively low level of circuit complexity, the space requirements are kept relatively small. In addition, high switching speeds are made possible during the reading operation.

摘要： A refresh drive circuit for feeding refresh signals to a memory device has a refresh signal generator for generating a continuous sequence of refresh signals with a frequency which decreases as the temperature falls. The refresh drive circuit is connected to the memory device and as the temperature of the memory device falls, the frequency of refresh cycles decreases resulting in a decrease in current consumption.

摘要： A communications method is described in which two memory modules receive data and commands from a controller module via a common data and command bus. The memory modules contain active line terminations. By a second chip select input, one of the memory modules can monitor the write commands that pass from the controller module to the other memory module, and thus activate the line terminal in the monitoring memory module.

摘要： An output driver circuit of a clocked integrated semiconductor memory of the DRAM type is driven by a circuit for generating an output signal as a function of two input signals. A validity signal, which is supplied to the circuit, ensures that the data to be output are in a valid state before the output driver is activated. As a result, a situation in which different propagation times of input signals of the output driver circuit lead to multiple switching operations within an access cycle of a memory access is prevented. An event-oriented control of the enabling process of the output driver ensures a proper function even in the case of variable frequencies of the clock control.

摘要： The circuit configuration produces complementary signals. An input signal is routed from an input terminal via a first path, through a pass element, and to a first output terminal. The input signal is also routed on a second path, connected in parallel with the first path, via an inverter, and to a second output terminal. The first and the second output terminal are connected to a first and a second output node, respectively, via a compensation device. The compensation device compensates for the different time delays in the signals on the first and on the second path.

摘要： A pulse shaper circuit includes a buffer having an input, an output and two supply connections. A controllable first switch is connected between one of the supply connections and a first supply potential, a controllable second switch is connected between the other supply voltage connection and a second supply potential, a controllable third switch is connected between the output of the buffer and the first supply potential and a controllable fourth switch is connected between the output of the buffer and the second supply potential. A control device for the switches is connected to the output of the buffer and produces a first control pulse of a specific duration at the occurrence of first edges of a signal present at the output of the buffer and a second control pulse of a specific duration at the occurrence of second edges. The first control pulse changes over the first switch from the ON state to the OFF state and the fourth switch from the OFF state to the ON state. The second control pulse changes over the second switch from the ON state to the OFF state and the third switch from the OFF state to the ON state.

摘要： The digital memory has at least one data line and address lines. It also has a switching unit that, in an active state, inverts signals on the data line or on at least one of the address lines and that, in an inactive state, leaves the signals unchanged. In a first operating mode, the switching unit is in the same state for writing and reading. In a second operating mode, the switching unit is in respectively opposite states for writing and for reading.

摘要： The optimized-delay multiplexer includes at least two pass elements that are respectively driven via a first path by a control signal directly, and via a second path by the control signal inverted by an inverter. A further pass element is connected in the first path to simulate the delay caused by the inverter. As a result, the at least two pass elements are switched simultaneously.
