摘要:
In a circuit according to the present invention, a multi-collector transistor is provided which includes first to third collectors so that, when a current does not flow from the second collector, a current from the first collector increases but a current from the third collector does not vary. When transistors of the circuit turn off because the voltage of an input signal gets out of an in-phase input voltage range, the supply of the current from the second collector comes to a stop and, hence, the current from the first collector increases. In this situation, further transistors carry out their on/off operations, thereby fixing the output of the circuit to a low level. That is, this circuit can, irrespective of poor pair compatibility between the transistors, fix the output logical level to a desired level when the voltage of an input signal gets out of an in-phase input voltage range.

A semiconductor device for driving a load includes a first semiconductor switching element interposed between a power supply terminal and a load, a second semiconductor switching element interposed between the load and a ground terminal, a high-side driver, a low-side driver, and a voltage regulator. The voltage regulator reduces a voltage applied to a control terminal of the second switching element, when a voltage of a load terminal of the second switching element is lower than a predetermined voltage. Then, a voltage applied between the load terminal and the ground terminal of the second switching element increases, and accordingly a voltage applied between the power supply terminal and the load terminal of the first switching element decreases.

In a voltage booster, a voltage detection circuit detects a battery voltage as an input voltage. If the input voltage is lower than a threshold level, an oscillation circuit outputs a gate signal having a relatively high frequency to increase the driving performance of a driving circuit. If the input voltage is higher than the threshold level, the frequency of the gate signal is lowered so as to prevent the driving performance of the driving circuit from rising to an excessively high value. As a result, a predetermined boosted voltage can be obtained regardless of variations in input voltage without using a filter for eliminating noise.

A comparator, having an offset of 0.1V, compares a terminal voltage Vin1 with a clamp voltage VCL (5.1V). When an overvoltage input exceeding the VCL is entered to an input terminal, the comparator turns on a transistor Q11. The current flows across an externally provided resistor R11, the input terminal, and the transistor Q11, and flows into an output terminal of an operational amplifier. With a voltage drop at the resistor R11, the terminal voltage Vin1 starts decreasing toward an output voltage Vc of the operational amplifier.

An object of the present invention is to provide a DRAM of a special form, a non-volatile memory cell incorporating the DRAM, and a semiconductor device which incorporates a DRAM structure and a non-volatile memory cell and where data can be written and erased with high accuracy. The semiconductor memory device has a sub bit line BLs1 to which the main bit line BL1 is connected via a selector transistor Tr1, and non-volatile memory cells M1-Nn, i.e., memory transistors whose drain electrodes are connected to the sub bit line Bls1. An a-c pulse generator applies an a-c voltage to the control gates of the non-volatile memory cells M1-Nn. The DRAM cell is formed of a capacitor element formed of parasitic capacitance of the sub bit line BLs1 and the drain electrodes of the non-volatile memory cells connected to the bit line BLs1. An arbitrary non-volatile memory cell Mk is connected with the memory node N of a DRAM cell, thereby implementing a non-volatile memory cell or non-volatile memory device having DRAM functions. The DRAM cells may operate independently of the non-volatile memory cells. Data is temporarily stored in the DRAM cell and is then transferred to the non-volatile memory cell Mk, thereby writing and erasing data with high accuracy at higher speeds, and allowing miniaturization of a memory device.
