    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention include an apparatus to selectively provide information within a device to enable the device to perform a function. The apparatus comprises a generator unit to generate information for the device to perform the function, a receiver unit to receive information from a source and provide the received information for the device, and a storage unit. The storage unit selectively stores the information from the generator unit and the receiver unit for use by the device in accordance with an information selection signal and a mode signal indicating entry of the device into a particular device mode. Information from the receiver unit is stored in the storage unit in response to availability of information from the receiver unit and the mode signal indicating entry of the device into the particular device mode.

    摘要: A multi-bank semiconductor memory device includes a multi-bank memory; a voltage generator having one standby driving circuit and a plurality of active driving circuits and supplying a power source voltage required for a semiconductor device; and, an up/down counter for counting a low access signal and a low precharge signal and outputting a multi-bit driving enable signal for driving the plurality of active driving circuits differentially in performing an interleaving operation. When a plurality of banks are accessed, the number of banks being currently accessed is counted by using the low access signal and the low precharge signal. The number of the voltage driving circuits is increased and decreased according to the count value.

    摘要: The present invention is a random access memory device with reduced refresh current and method for use in the same. The memory device includes a memory array with a plurality of memory cells. The memory cells are configured to hold a charge. A command block is coupled to the memory bank and is configured to receive refresh commands that are used to periodically refresh the memory cells. A detection circuit is coupled to the command block and to the memory array. The detection circuit is configured to store a hit detect signal when the memory array is accessed. The detection circuit also receives the refresh command. The detections circuit enables block select signals only when the hit detect signal is stored while the refresh command is received.
