    摘要: A low power consumption in a semiconductor integrated circuit device can be achieved by reducing a glitch power in a flip-flop. In a pulse-generator-incorporated auto-clock-gating flip-flop in which data latch is performed by using a pulsed clock, input data is latched based on an output of a dynamic XOR circuit, which is a comparator circuit, during a period when the pulsed clock is at a high level, and the dynamic XOR circuit is cut off during a period when the pulsed clock is at a low level.

    摘要: In a configuration provided with, for example, sixty four pieces of processor cores, an on-chip-memory, a bus commonly connected thereto, and others, the processor cores are operated by a power supply with low voltage and a clock with low frequency, and the bus is operated by a power supply with high voltage and a clock with high frequency. Each of the processor cores is provided with a bus interface and a frequency divider in order to absorb a power supply voltage difference and a frequency difference between the bus and each of them. The frequency divider generates the clock with low frequency from the clock with high frequency, and the bus interface is provided with a level shifting function, a data width converting function, a hand shaking function between the bus and the bus interface, and the like.

    摘要: There is a need to ensure operation performance of a circuit region under DVFS control at low costs and highly precisely while a power-supply voltage change is made to the region. A first circuit (FVA) uses a first power-supply voltage (VDDA) for operation. A second circuit (NFVA) uses a second power-supply voltage (VDDB) for operation. A clock delay may be adjusted between paths for transmitting a clock to these circuits. When VDDA equals VDDB, a clock is distributed to FVA through a path that does not contain a delay device for phase adjustment. When the power-supply voltage for the FVA region is reduced, a clock is distributed to the FVA region based on a phase equivalent to one or two cycles of the clock displaced. Synchronization control is provided to synchronize clocks (CKAF and CKBF) and ensures operation so that a phase of two clocks to be compared fits in a range of design values while the power-supply voltage for the first circuit is changed.

    摘要: A semiconductor integrated circuit device provided with a first circuit block BLK1, a second circuit block DRV1 and a conversion circuit MIO1 for connecting the first circuit block to the second circuit block. The first circuit block includes a first mode for applying a supply voltage and a second mode for shutting off the supply voltage. The conversion circuit is provided with a function for maintaining the potential of an input node of the second circuit block at an operation potential, thereby suppressing a penetrating current flow when the first circuit block is in the second mode. The conversion circuit (MIO1 to MIO4) are commonly used for connecting circuit blocks.

    摘要: The present invention provides a sense circuit for DRAM memory cell to cover the events that a sense time becomes remarkably longer when a power source voltage is lowered, a sense time under the low voltage condition becomes shorter when temperature rises and a sense time changes to a large extent for fluctuation of processes. The present invention provides the following typical effects. A switch means is provided between the bit line BL and local bit line LBL connected to the memory cells for isolation and coupling of these bit lines. The bit line BL is precharged to the voltage of VDL/2, while the local bit line LBL is precharged to the voltage of VDL. The VDL is the maximum amplitude voltage of the bit line BL. A sense amplifier SA comprises a first circuit including a differential MOS pair having the gate connected to the bit line BL and a second circuit connected to the local bit line LBL for full amplitude amplification and for holding the data. When the bit line BL and local bit line LBL are capacitance-coupled via a capacitor, it is recommended to use a latch type sense amplifier SA connected to bit line LBL.
