    摘要: In a memory array structured of memory cells using a storage circuit STC and a comparator CP, either one electrode of a source electrode or a drain electrode of a transistor, whose gate electrode is connected to a search line, of a plurality of transistors structuring the comparator CP is connected to a match line HMLr precharged to a high voltage. Further, a match detector MDr is arranged on a match line LMLr precharged to a low voltage to discriminate a comparison signal voltage generated at the match line according to the comparison result of data. According to such memory array structure and operation, comparison operation can be performed at low power and at high speed while influence of search-line noise is avoided in a match line pair. Therefore, a low power content addressable memory which allows search operation at high speed can be realized.

    摘要: There are provided a reference voltage generating method used for reading out operation of a memory cell having amplification ability, and a dummy cell. The memory cell is composed of a read NMOS transistor, a write transistor, and a coupled-capacitance. The dummy cell is made such that two memory cells are connected in series. The dummy cell is arranged at the most far end of each of the data lines against the sense amplifier. A reference voltage is generated by making a difference in an amount of current flowing in each of the read NMOS transistors of the memory cell and the dummy cell. As a result, DRAM showing a higher speed, a higher integration and a lower electrical power as compared with those of the prior art device can be realized.

    摘要: A clock recovery circuit is provided for use in a memory with a clock synchronized interface or the like, wherein an external clock is temporarily intercepted to shorten the lock-in time when an internal clock is to be generated from the external clock. The clock recovery circuit includes a delay circuit array, into which an external clock is inputted, for generating a plurality of reference clocks, a control circuit for comparing the phases of the external clock and of the plurality of reference clocks and detecting the number of delay stages of the delay circuits required for locking in, and latching circuit for holding the number of delay stages required for locking in. Once synchronism is detected and the number of delay stages required for locking in are held in the latching circuit, the generation of the internal clock can be resumed in a short period of time even if the supply of the external clock is temporarily suspended.
