摘要： A semiconductor integrated circuit comprises a NAND gate which constitutes a previous stage circuit, a reset circuit, a charging circuit, and a capacitor for generating a boost potential. A signal of a node A expressing data and a signal of a node B expressing permission of outputting data are not only input to the NAND gate, but also to the reset circuit, and the output of the reset circuit is not only input to the charging circuit but also to the NAND gate; therefore, the previous stage circuit and the reset circuit are interlinked with the output signals. In the result, even in a case where noise is generated in the node A, it is possible to obtain a sufficient boost potential generated in the capacitor.

摘要： A power supply voltage detecting circuit detects whether or not a power supply voltage Vcc is a predetermined reference voltage level or more. The power supply voltage detecting circuit generates a self-refresh mode instruct signal &phgr;A to apply the same to a refresh timer when the power supply voltage detecting circuit determine that the power supply voltage Vcc is a predetermined voltage value or less. The refresh timer carries out a clocking operation in response to the self-refresh mode instruct signal &phgr;A to generate a self-refresh request signal &phgr;srf at a predetermined time interval. A semiconductor memory device is implemented which can carry out the self-refresh mode easily without requiring a complicated timing condition of external signals.

摘要： In an REFS generation circuit included in a self refresh circuit of a DRAM, first to fifth N channel MOS transistors are connected in parallel with first to fifth fuses, and first to fifth P channel MOS transistors are connected in series with the first to fifth fuses. If the first to third and fifth fuses are blown to select a fourth clock signal and then the refresh performance is lowered, a third clock signal, for example, having a frequency shorter than the fourth clock signal is selected by rendering conductive only the third N channel MOS transistor and the third P channel MOS transistor of first to fifth N channel MOS transistors and the first to fifth P channel MOS transistors. Therefore, the refresh cycle can be shortened and a DRAM with a refresh failure can be repaired.

摘要： A reference potential is generated according to a potential Viconst output from a constant current control circuit, and an internal power supply potential is generated based on the reference potential. Fuse elements are provided in the constant current control circuit. Since the resistance value of a resistance circuit can be adjusted, an internal power supply potential can be adjusted in a wider range than that in a conventional circuit. Reduction in yield can be prevented in the case where a threshold voltage or the like is varied.
