    摘要: A static RAM includes pre-amplifiers, which are made up solely of emitter-follower transistors having their collectors supplied with the power voltage, in one-to-one correspondence to sub common data line pairs which are connected by column switches to complementary data line pairs of memory arrays. The pre-amplifier is provided with a first switch which turns on during the selected state to connect the sub common data line pair to the bases of the transistors and a second switch which turns on during the unselected state to provide the bases with a certain bias voltage lower than the readout signal voltage on the sub common data line pair. The emitter-follower transistors have their emitters connected commonly to form common emitter lines, which are connected to pairs of input terminals of main amplifiers made up of CMOS transistors.

    摘要: In semiconductor circuits, and particularly in memories, it is often desirable to use bipolar transistors for speed together with MOS elements. However, although the bipolar transistors are useful for speed considerations, they undesirably significantly increase the power consumption of the overall circuit. Accordingly, to reduce power consumption, a bipolar/MOSFET arrangement is provided wherein MOSFETs are used as current sources to supply operation currents to the bipolar transistors only during the periods of their operation. Thus, a semiconductor integrated circuit device is achieved featuring a high operation speed yet consuming reduced amounts of electric power. Additionally, power consumption can be further reduced by providing a time serial operation for actuation of the MOSFETs in different peripheral circuits for a memory array.
