    摘要: A semiconductor device includes an internal power supply, at least one semiconductor circuit block, a delay circuit, and a detecting circuit. The internal power supply outputs an initialization completion signal when initialized. The semiconductor circuit block operates on the basis of a voltage generated by the internal power supply. The delay circuit delays the initialization completion signal. The detecting circuit commands the semiconductor circuit block to start operations in response to the initialization completion signal delayed by the delay circuit and an externally input first input signal.

    摘要: A ferroelectric memory device includes memory cells, a memory cell block, a sense amplifier, a precharge circuit, a bit line drive circuit, and a plate line drive circuit. Each of the memory cells has a cell transistor and a ferroelectric capacitor in between a source and drain of the cell transistor. The memory cell block includes the memory cells that are series connected between a bit line via a block select transistor and a plate line. The sense amplifier amplifies data read out from the memory cell, and generates one of a first potential and a second potential higher than the first potential in accordance with the read-out data. The precharge circuit precharges the bit line at a third potential that is higher than the first potential and lower than the second potential. The bit line drive circuit sets the bit line at a fourth potential.

    摘要: A semiconductor integrated circuit device includes a memory array, address buffer, address decoder, and controller. The memory array includes a memory cell array in which destructive read-out memory cells are integrated. The address buffer outputs an internal address signal corresponding to an input external address signal. The address decoder decodes the internal address signal and outputs a memory cell selection signal on the basis of the decode result. The controller parallel-executes wait processing of keeping the address buffer in a wait state until the lapse of a skew time after transition of the external address signal is detected, and decode processing until the memory cell selection signal changes from an invalid state to a valid state in response to output of the internal address signal.
