    摘要: A current source is provided between a first p channel MOS transistor and a ground node, and a current/voltage converting element is provided isolatedly from the current source between the ground node and a second p channel MOS transistor having a conductance coefficient sufficiently larger than that of the first MOS transistor. The second MOS transistor is connected through a resistive element to an external power supply node. A voltage produced by the current/voltage converting element is converted into current by a voltage/current converting portion. Thus, constant current free from both vibration and a deadlock phenomenon and with small external power supply voltage dependency is supplied.

    摘要: A conductor line is placed at a layer overlying an input protection circuit electrically coupled to a pad such that the conductor line covers at least a part of the input protection circuit. The conductor line having a sufficiently large width disperses and absorbs the heat generated from the input protection circuit. Since the input protection circuit and the conductor line have a region overlapping with each other in the layout of plan view, an area for layout of the input protection circuit on a chip can be reduced effectively, and prevention of a destruction of the protection circuit due to the heat as well as an improvement of a resistance to the surge can be obtained.

    摘要: In the normal mode, a first voltage-down converter down-converts an external power supply voltage to provide a large, first internal power supply voltage to the peripheral circuitry via a first internal power supply voltage supplying line, and a second voltage-down converter down-converts the external power supply voltage to provide a smaller, second internal power supply voltage to a memory cell array via a second internal power supply voltage supplying line. This allows fast operation and reduction in power consumption. In conducting a burn-in test, an external power supply voltage supplying line is connected to the first and second internal power supply voltage supplying lines. Thus, the first and second internal power supply voltage supplying lines directly receive the external power supply voltage. This allows an effective burn-in test. In a burn-in test, the first and second voltage-down converters are inactivated.

    摘要: Each of divided bit line pairs is selectively connected to a sub-input/output line pair through transfer gates. A register is connected to the sub-input/output line pair. Data is transferred through the sub-input/output line pair between the register and a selected bit line pair. A sense amplifier is connected to each of the bit line pairs. Sense amplifiers are independently driven by separate sense amplifier activating signals. Therefore, even if data is transferred to the selected bit line pair from the register, fluctuations in potential on the bit line pair caused in such a case does not affect a sense amplifier activating signal connected to a non-selected bit line pair. As a result, data stored in the non-selected memory cell is prevented from being destroyed.

    摘要: A dynamic random access memory amplifier arrangement includes a sense amplifier band shared between two different memory blocks. In this memory, only sense amplifiers related to a selected memory block are activated. The memory comprises a circuit for boosting a control signal voltage to a switching unit for connecting the selected memory block to the sense amplifiers up to a level higher than a power supply voltage Vcc during the activation of the sense amplifiers, and a circuit for separating a memory block paired with the selected memory block from the activated sense amplifiers during the sensing operation. The memory further comprises a circuit for generating a control signal of the power supply voltage Vcc and connecting all the memory blocks to the corresponding sense amplifiers in a stand-by state wherein a row address strobe signal is inactive. With this arrangement, a highly reliable memory consuming less power can be achieved which ensures data writing and/or rewriting at a full Vcc level.

    摘要: An arrangement for providing a compensation of capacitance coupling between word lines and bit lines in a memory structure including twisted bit lines. Two dummy word lines maintained at a predetermined potential are formed at a twisted portion of a pair of bit lines. Dummy cells are provided at respective twisted portions of the dummy word lines and the bit lines. A plurality of word lines are formed in a direction intersecting with the bit lines and the word lines are divided into four word line groups according to positions of the twisted portions of the bit line pairs. When an arbitrary word line is selected, a potential of at least one dummy word line corresponding to the word line group to which the selected word line belongs is lowered. Consequently, the rise of the potential of the bit lines caused by the selection of the word line is compensated for by the lowering of the potential of at least one dummy word line, making it possible to decrease errors in reading. Particular cell layer arrangements simplify increase in integration density in the combination of dummy cell compensation with the twisted bit line balancing of capacitance coupling.
