    摘要: A memory array divided into a plurality of sub-memory-arrays is disposed on a chip so that, if a specified sub-memory-array is selected by a sub-memory-array selecting circuit, a normal read/write operation is performed with respect to the sub-memory-array based on an address indicated by a group of external address signals. At the same time, a clock generator for self-refresh mounted on a chip generates a word-line basic clock for self-refresh and a word-line basic clock for refresh, thereby selecting the word lines in the sub-memory-arrays which have not been selected. Prior to a predetermined time at which the sub-memory-array subjected to a refresh operation is subsequently selected, a refresh halt signal is outputted so as to forcibly halt the refresh operation, thereby preventing insufficient recharging of a memory cell. Each of the plurality of sub-memory-arrays stores, of sequential sets of image data, data on one frame or one field.

    摘要: When a memory chip is in a standby mode, a ground power supply line of a flip-flop forming a memory cell is intermittently placed in the floating state. A switching NMOS transistor is connected between the ground power supply line and a power supply VSS. The gate of the NMOS transistor is controlled by an activation signal. When entering the floating state, the ground power supply line is charged due to an off-leakage current flowing in the transistor of the memory cell. As a result, the voltage of the ground power supply line is increased from the voltage of the power supply VSS. Accordingly, the off-leakage current of the memory cell is reduced, whereby the standby-time power consumption of the memory chip is decreased. When the voltage of the ground power supply line keeps going up, it becomes impossible to read data held in the memory cell in a short time, resulting in the data being lost. In order to prevent the loss of the data, the switching NMOS transistor is made to intermittently turn on.

    摘要: A semiconductor memory device comprising memory cells arranged in a matrix with plural pairs of bit lines to be column addressed and connected to sense amplifiers, and word lines to be row addressed and divided into divisional word lines. Output signals of sense amplifiers selected by the column addressing are transferred to respective data lines. The divisional word lines are time-sequentially activated corresponding to the row addressing with the activated states of any two sequential divisional word lines overlapped for a fractional time of the full activation time. The sense amplifiers are grouped into plural groups with respective common column addresses. Each group of sense amplifiers have their outputs to be applied to respective data lines connected to a serial/parallel converter.

    摘要: A semiconductor integrated circuit contains a plurality of programmable circuits each including a plurality of fuses and a first transistor which has a gate subjected to an address decoded signal, a drain connected to first ends of the fuses, and a source connected to a common precharge node. The address decoded signal results from decoding a first portion of an address signal for access to memory cells. The sources of the first transistors in the respective programmable circuits are connected to the common precharge node. A plurality of second transistors have gates subjected to a second portion of the address signal, sources connected to a first power supply line, and drains connected to second ends of the fuses in each of the programmable circuits respectively. The second portion of the address signal differs from the first portion of the address signal. A third transistor has a gate subjected to a precharge control signal, a source connected to a second power supply line, and a drain connected to the common precharge node.
