摘要:
In a DRAM, which includes a plurality of memory banks, there is a pair of separate flag bit registers for each bank with the flag bit registers that are shifted up/down respectively. A comparator for each bank provides a comparator output. An arbiter for each bank is connected to receive a flag bit up signal and a flag bit down signal from the flag bit registers for that bank and the comparator output from the comparator for that bank. The arbiters are connected to receive a conflict in signal and to provide a conflict out signal. The pair of flag bit registers represent a refresh status of each bank and designate memory banks or arrays that are ready for a refresh operation.

An integrated circuit including a field effect transistor (FET) is provided in which the gate conducter has an even number of fingers disposed between alternating source and drain regions of a substrate. The fingers are disposed in a pattern over an area of the substrate having a length in a horizontal direction, the area equaling the length multiplied by a width in a vertical direction that is occupied by an odd number of the fingers.

A memory system includes a memory array, a plurality of wordline drivers, a row address decoder block which has a plurality of outputs connected to selected ones of the wordline drivers, a row selector block which has a selector lines connected to individual ones of the wordline drivers. A power management circuit having a power down input for a power down input signal (WLPWRDN) and a wordline power down output (WLPDN) is connected to the wordline drivers to lower the power consumption thereof as a function of the power down input signal.

A multi-port DRAM having refresh cycles interleaved with normal read and write operations implements a single cycle refresh sequence by deferring the write portion of the sequence until the next refresh cycle. During a single clock cycle, the system writes stored data from a refresh buffer into a row in the memory array and then reads data from one row of the memory array into the buffer.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a memory array of dual part cells and design structure thereof. The memory array has a pair of twisted write bit lines and a pair of twisted read bit lines for each column. The twist is made by alternating the vertical position of each bit line pair in each section of a column, with the result of generating common mode nose and of reducing differential mode noise.
