    摘要: A semiconductor static random access memory having a high .alpha.-ray immunity and a high packing density is provided which is also capable of high-speed operation. A semiconductor memory device comprises static random access memory cells each including a flip-flop circuit. Storage nodes of each flip-flop circuit have respective pn-junctions formed at regions sandwiched between gate electrodes of first insulated gate field effect transistors and gate electrodes of second insulated gate field effect transistors, respectively. The pn-junction has an area smaller than that of a channel portion of the first or second insulated gate field effect transistor. The gate electrode of one of the two first insulated gate field effect transistors and the drain region of the other insulated gate field effect transistor, on one hand, and the drain region of the one insulated gate field effect transistor and the gate electrode of the other insulated gate field effect transistor, on the other hand, are electrically cross-coupled mutually through first and second electrically conductive films, respectively. Also, to increase packing density and enhance immunity to soft error, the gate electrodes of the first and second insulated gate field effect transistors extend substantially in parallel with one another and the channel regions of the first and second insulated gate field effect transistors extend substantially in parallel with one another.

    摘要: In a constant current-constant voltage circuit disclosed herein, gates of MOSFETs Q.sub.1 and Q.sub.2 are connected together, and the gate of the MOSFET Q.sub.1 is connected to the drain thereof. Further, the source of the MOSFET Q.sub.1 is connected to ground potential GND whereas the source of the MOSFET Q.sub.2 is connected to the drain of a MOSFET Q.sub.3 having a gate connected to power supply voltage V.sub.DD and a source connected to the ground voltage GND. A current mirror circuit including Q.sub.4 and Q.sub.5 has an input and an output respectively connected to the drain of the second MOSFET Q.sub.2 and the drain of the first MOSFET Q.sub.1. A first coefficient (W.sub.3 L.sub.2 /L.sub.3 W.sub.2) depending upon channel lengths (L.sub.2, L.sub.3) and channel widths (W.sub.2, W.sub.3) of the MOSFETs Q.sub.2 and Q.sub.3 is set at a value not larger than a predetermined value. Therefore, the MOSFET Q.sub.3 operates in a linear region as high resistance, and the MOSFETs Q.sub.1 and Q.sub.2 operate in a sub-threshold region. As a result, the dependence upon temperature is significantly improved.

    摘要: A MOS transistor sense amplifier employs cross coupled positive feedback for the load circuit of a differential amplifier with an equalizing switch at the amplifier output, and preferably also at the input. This basis amplifier circuit may be repeated in stages. When stages are employed, it is desirable that the first stage employs current mirror loading of the differential amplifier to reduce the data delay. Data delay is further reduced by providing strong amplification during the sense portion of the read cycle with a preamplifier, which preamplifier has its amplification reduced, preferably to unity by being turned off, when the sense portion of the cycle is finished, and most preferably when the input and output data lines are directly connected independently of the preamplifier, so that the preamplifier may be completely turned off to lower power consumption.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for quickly masking defective memory elements with substitute memory elements includes first and second memory blocks. The first memory block includes a first memory array and a second spare memory array. The second memory block includes a second memory array and a first spare memory array. A first word from the first memory array is selected concurrently with a first substitute word from the first spare memory. An address signal is decoded and then compared with data representative of a defective word. In the event it is determined, as a result of this comparison, that the first word is defective, the first substitute word is then communicated to a common data bus. Alternatively, the first word is communicated to the common data bus.

    摘要: A semiconductor integrated circuit includes: a data output terminal; a first semiconductor element connected between a first operating potential point and the data output terminal; a second semiconductor element connected between the data output terminal and a second operating potential point; first control means connected to a control input terminal of the first semiconductor element; second control means connected to a control input terminal of the second semiconductor element; first generating means for generating a first predetermined voltage; and second generating means for generating a second predetermined voltage higher than the first predetermined voltage. When voltage at the data output terminal is higher than the second predetermined voltage, the first control means controls the first semiconductor element to be in the OFF-state, and the second control means controls the second semiconductor element to be in the ON-state to lower the voltage of the data output terminal to the second predetermined voltage. On the other hand, in the case where the voltage of the data output terminal is lower than that of the first predetermined voltage, the output of the first control means controls the first semiconductor element so that it is in the ON-state and the output of the second control means controls the second semiconductor element so that it is in the OFF-state so as to raise the voltage of the data output terminal to the first predetermined voltage.
