    摘要: A semiconductor memory device comprises a plurality or CAM cells. In a refreshing operation, data of "1" is applied to all of bit lines and inversion bit lines. In the CAM cells storing the data "1", writing of the data "1" onto the bit lines and the inversion bit lines is performed. Then, the data of "0" is applied to all of the bit lines and the inversion bit lines. In the CAM cells storing the data "0", writing of the data "0" onto the bit lines and the inversion bit lines is performed. In a partial writing operation, in the CAM cells to which writing is performed, a first control node is activated, thereby making it possible to write the CAM cells. In the rest of the CAM cells, the first control node is inactivated, thereby making it impossible to write the CAM cells.

    摘要: An encoding circuit shortens time required for a coincidence signal to be converted into an address code after selected and output sequentially according to a predetermined priority level when the coincidence signal is obtained from an associative memory. The circuit is provided with a contention arbitrating circuit for a lower subgroup and a contention arbitrating circuit for a higher subgroup. In the contention arbitrating circuit for a lower subgroup and the contention arbitrating circuit for higher subgroup, each coincidence signal simultaneously activates inhibiting signals whose priority levels are lower than the priority level of the coincidence signal. A lower half of coincidence signals are arranged in descending order in the contention arbitrating circuit for a lower subgroup and a higher half of coincidence signals are arranged in ascending order in the contention arbitrating circuit for a higher subgroup. The contention arbitrating circuit for a lower subgroup and the contention arbitrating circuit for a higher subgroup are arranged in a triangular array and a complementary triangular array, respectively.

    摘要: A memory cell array of a dynamic semiconductor memory device is divided into a plurality of memory cell blocks. A block selecting circuit selects and refreshes larger number of memory cell blocks in refreshing mode than the number of those selected during normal mode. Sense amplifiers in the memory cell blocks selected by the block selecting circuit are selectively driven with smaller driving force in refreshing mode than that in normal mode. More preferably the driving force is changed during the amplifying operation so as to achieve both the high sensitivity and the suppression of the peak value of the operational current.

    摘要: In a test mode, bit information of the same logic is written into a corresponding memory cell of each of subarray 5a-5d. Bit information written in respective memory cells is simultaneously read and supplied to exclusive-OR gates 12a-12d. Each of exclusive-OR gates logics of read bit information and an expected value data supplied as an input to an external input pin D.sub.IN to supply the test determination result as an output. The outputs of respective exclusive-OR gates 12a-12d are serially supplied, through transistors 18a-18d which are sequentially and selectively turned on by a shift register 15, to an external output pin D.sub.OUT.
