摘要: Source transistor configurations are described for reducing leakage and delay within integrated circuits. Virtual power and ground nodes are supported with the use of stacked transistor configurations, such as a two transistor stack between a first virtual supply connection and VSS, and a second virtual supply connection and VDD. Gate drives of these stacked transistors are modulated with different voltage levels in response to the operating power mode of the circuit, for example active mode, active-standby mode, and deep power-down mode. Means for driving these source stacks are described. In one embodiment separate virtual nodes are adapted for different types of circuits, such as buffers, row address strobe, and column address strobe. Other techniques, such as directional placement of the transistors is also described.

摘要: Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) circuits and methods are described for reducing leakage and increasing repaired yield. These objects are accomplished according to the invention by grouping refresh cycles within a single activation of power control, the use of limiting circuits or fuses to mitigate power losses associated with micro-bridging of bit-lines and word-lines, modulating the bit-line voltage at the end of precharge cycles, configuring refresh control circuits to use redundant word-lines in generating additional refresh cycles for redundant rows of memory cells, and combinations thereof. In one aspect, word-line fuses indicate modes of use as: unused, replacement, additional refresh, and replacement with additional refresh. The refresh control circuit utilizes these modes in combination with the X-address stored in the word-line fuses for controlling the generation of additional refresh cycles toward overcoming insufficient data retention intervals in select memory cell rows.
