    摘要: The clock-generating circuit for generating a clock signal, includes a ring oscillator having an odd number of inverters connected in a ring configuration. The ring oscillator is activated to generate a clock signal when an activating signal is at a first level and is de-activated to cease generation of the clock signal when the activating signal is at a second level. A latch circuit is connected to an output node of the ring oscillator, and holds a level of the output node of the ring oscillator in response to transition of the activating signal from the first level to the second level. When the activating signal is lowered from the H level to the L level, the level of the clock signal is latched such that generation of a glitch in the clock signal will be prevented from occurring.

    摘要: A DRAM is provided at a portion relating to generation of a boosted potential with a filter circuit located between a detector circuit and a ring oscillator for removing a pulse-like change in level from an output signal of the detector circuit. Accordingly, temporary stop of the charge pump circuit can be prevented even when the boosted potential exceeds in a pulse-like manner the reference potential at the vicinity of the output node of the charge pump circuit, and the boosted potential can be rapidly restored to the reference potential.

    摘要: In an eDRAM, there are provided a VDC that down-converts an external power supply potential to generate an internal power supply potential for a sense amplifier band, and a VDC that down-converts the external power supply potential to generate an internal power supply potential for a column decoder. The response of the VDC is improved by increasing the through current of the VDC only during the period of time corresponding to an amplify operation of the sense amplifier. Therefore, current consumption is smaller than the conventional case where the through current of the VDC is set at a high constant level.

    摘要: An equalizing circuit includes a plurality of N-channel MOS transistors for respectively setting a data line to a predetermined precharge voltage. The H-level voltage Vddb of a control signal for turning on these N-channel MOS transistors is set to a range higher than the sum of the precharge voltage and a transistor threshold voltage. A Vddb generation circuit steps up an external power-supply voltage and sets a voltage Vddb in a range lower than a step-up voltage for activating a word line.
