摘要:
A semiconductor integrated circuit has K (K is a natural number of 2 or more) number of memory cells coupled to a same word line, and multiple sense amplifier circuits coupled to the memory cells. The multiple sense amplifier circuits are divided into N (N is a natural number of 2 or more) number of groups. Among the N number of groups, after a first group of sense amplifier circuits is activated and carrying out a predetermined read-out operation, a second group of the sense amplifier circuits is activated and the predetermined read-out operation is carried out, and an Nth group of the sense amplifier circuits is activated sequentially to carry out the predetermined read-out operation.

A semiconductor integrated circuit device includes a functional circuit part that includes a plurality of field effect transistors, a mode control circuit that receives a first control signal and that generates a second control signal that is used to change a logic state of the functional circuit part, an output control circuit that receives an output signal of the functional circuit part and controls output of the output signal, and a control circuit that receives the second control signal and that generates a third control signal to the output control circuit. During a time period when the functional circuit part changes a logic state according to the second control signal, the output control circuit inverts the output signal of the functional circuit part according to the third control signal.

Disclosed is a semiconductor device including a mode control circuit that, when a standby control signal is in an activated state, based on a timer output signal from a timer circuit, generates a MODE control output signal that changes a logic state of a functional circuit part at every prescribed time interval, and an output control circuit that receives an output signal of the functional circuit part and controls output of the output signal; based on a delay output signal generated by delaying a MODE control output signal by a delay circuit. While the functional circuit part is changing the logic state by the MODE control output signal, the output control circuit does not transfer the functional circuit part output signal to output, but holds and outputs a functional circuit part output signal immediately before the functional circuit part changes the logic state by the MODE control output signal.

In one embodiment of the present invention, in a discrete MOSFET, the ZTC point is determined by combining the variation of the drain current induced by the variation of the threshold voltage in response to the temperature and the variation of the drain current induced by the variation of the mobility in response to the temperature. The chips configured with a number of circuits, however, include the circuits whose main operation regions of the MOSFETs are different. In CMOS circuits, the MOSFETs operate in the saturation region. On the other hand, in analog circuits, such as sense amplifiers or bandgap circuits, the MOSFETs operate in the linear region. In the design of the temperature dependence of the chip, the design is achieved by independently different models for respective MOSFETs whose operation regions are different.
