This invention is realized, in sum, by providing at least one reset input terminal, aside from a reset input terminal to which a request end signal is supplied, to output stage RS flip-flops of plural latch circuits to which plural request signals are supplied respectively. The signal of a first output terminal of the output stage RS flip-flop of a specified latch circuit of the plural latch circuits is supplied to a reset input terminal of the output stage RS flip-flop of the other latch circuit and a delay circuit is connected between a second output terminal and the other reset input terminal of the output stage RS flip-flops of each latch circuit. Accordingly, if plural request signals are supplied at substantially the same time, the competition of these request signals may be settled. Besides, by setting the delay time of each delay circuit longer than the time required from the supply of the signal to the set input terminal of the corresponding output stage RS flip-flop until the signal is latched in the output terminal, even if pulsive signals are supplied to the output stage RS flip-flops, oscillation of the output stage RS flip-flops may be prevented.

Provided is a semiconductor memory device compatible with a SRAM and capable of a high-speed data transfer operation while maintaining data reliability. An access to a memory core 6 starts when an external chip enable signal XCE performs a falling transition. Simultaneously, an external write enable signal XWE and an external address signal ADD are received, and a memory cell 1, in the memory core 6, corresponding to the received external address signal ADD is selected. When a data read-out from the memory cell 1 or a data write-in to the memory cell 1 is complete, a rewrite timer 7 is activated in accordance with a rising transition of an external chip enable signal XCE or a rising transition of the external write enable signal XWE for performing a data rewrite for the memory cell 1.

A semiconductor memory apparatus is provided which has a simple circuit configuration and is capable of randomly accessing fuse data. In the semiconductor memory apparatus of the present invention, a fuse cell 30 including a fuse 31 is connected to a pair of bit lines of a memory circuit. The fuse 31 and a fuse data output circuit (which includes a resistor 32 and an inverter 33) are connected to a pair of bit lines BLT and BLB of the memory circuit through a fuse selection switch 34. In the semiconductor memory apparatus of the present invention, by allowing a column decoder 12 for selecting a pair of bit lines of the memory cell to also function as a decoder circuit for selecting a fuse, the bit lines of the memory circuit can be used as signal lines for outputting fuse data, whereby the circuit size is reduced and the circuit area is reduced.

To provide a semiconductor storage device which can adapt to assembly processes involving different treatment temperatures, can become unrewritable when rewriting of data by the user is prohibited, negates the necessity for developing different semiconductor storage devices, and lowers development cost. A semiconductor storage device is provided with, as areas for storing faulty address information indicating a faulty area and operation mode setting information about the semiconductor storage device, a first setting function storage area 103 formed from electrically-rewritable nonvolatile memory and a second setting function storage area 102 formed from once-rewritable nonvolatile memory. Transfer of faulty address information to a faulty address register 111 and transfer of operation mode setting information to an operation mode register 110 are selectively performed.

In a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type, first and second high-concentration layers of a second conductivity type are formed in spaced relation to each other. A reference voltage is applied to the second high-concentration layer. A conductive layer provides an electrical connection between the first high-concentration layer and an input pad for inputting an input signal to an input circuit or input/output circuit. A first low-concentration layer of the second conductivity type is formed in the region of the semiconductor substrate immediately underlying the first high-concentration layer.

A dynamic type semiconductor memory in which a bit line is made to be connected to an electric potential different from a precharge potential after a precharge of the bit line is effected and one of word lines is selected and before a sensing amplifier operates. Thereby, all data stored in memory cells of the same row address can be cleared or preset in a cycle. Further, data stored in all of memory cells of which the number is equal to that of row addresses multiplied by that of column addresses can be cleared or preset in cycles of which the number is equal to that of the row addresses. Consequently, a clearance of contents of or a presetting of all memory cells can be effected at a high speed.
