    摘要: An input buffer for processing an external signal is provided in one of passways, which is the most closest to a line for equally dividing the whole of a plurality of memory cell blocks longitudinally or laterally into two sections, the passway interposing between the adjacent memory cell blocks of the plurality of memory cell blocks to which a processed signal of the input buffer is transmitted, whereby the length of the signal pass from the input buffer to each memory cell of the memory cell blocks can be shortened. Therefore, since the memory cell or a logic element existing between the input buffer and the memory cell is operated by a pulse of little distortion without delay of time, a access time can be reduced and a processing speed of a microprocessor can be increased. Further, a degree of freedom in designing a system of a memory or the microprocessor is further improved.

    摘要: An arrangement which is particularly effective for decoders in semiconductor memory circuits which use, for example, common NMOS to receive one input for a plurality of logic decoder gates is provided includes a plurality of logic gates each having a first input terminal for respectively receiving first input signals and each being coupled to a common node. In one embodiment, first and second switching elements are also coupled to the common node. The first and second switching elements are both coupled to a second input terminal for receiving a second input signal which is common to the plurality of logic gates, and both operate complementary to one another in response to the second input signal. An improved read/write arrangement is also provided for such semiconductor memory circuit which includes circuitry to prevent connection of a common read line to the data lines during the writing operation. This enhances the writing speed by removing the load of the common read line during writing.

    摘要: A semiconductor memory comprises a write driver which is provided to correspond to respective data line and by which data lines connected with a memory cell through the control of a word line are driven in a write operation. The write driver includes MOSFETs of first group and MOSFETs of second group. In a case where a write enable signal does not designate the write operation, the MOSFETs of the first group are normally in ON states to pull up the data lines. Besides, in a case where the write enable signal designates the write operation, each of them operates in accordance with the value of input data, to maintain the ON states and pull up the corresponding data line in case of driving the data line to a "high" level and to fall into OFF states in case of driving the data line to a "low" level. On the other hand, the MOSFETs of the second group are normally in OFF states. Besides, in the case where the write enable signal designates the write operation, each of them operates in accordance with the value of the input data, to fall into ON state and draw the corresponding data line to the low level in the case of driving the data lines to the low level.
