    摘要: A signal externally supplied to determine the operation mode is supplied to a first buffer circuit. A CAS signal is supplied to a second buffer circuit. The signals whose levels are converted by the first and second buffer circuits are supplied to a mode selection circuit. The operation of the mode selection circuit is controlled by a RAS signal, and it latches and outputs a mode selection signal based on the outputs of the first and second buffer circuits. An externally supplied address signal and an address signal formed in the device are supplied to address buffer circuit. The address buffer circuit selects one of the received address signals based on the RAS signal anad the mode selection signal output from the mode selection circuit. A selected one of the address signals is supplied to a word line selection/driving circuit. When a mode other than the auto-refresh mode is specified, the mode setting signal is set up before the RAS signal is activated. The set-up allowance time with respect to the activation timing of the RAS signal is set to be larger than the minimum value of the set-up allowance time of the external address signal. The mode setting signal is latched by the mode selection circuit when the RAS signal is activated. The latched signal is used to select and control the operation mode.

    摘要: This invention provides a multiport memory including a storage section A having bit lines BL and BL, a word line WL, a data transfer gate .phi.DT, and a dynamic memory cell Cs, and a serial port B having a serial access function in a column direction of the storage section, wherein the memory includes a circuit for disabling a word line signal WL for selecting one word line under the conditions that a row address strobe signal RAS is raised in a transfer cycle in which data held by the memory cell is transferred to the serial port, and that the data transfer to the serial port is completed by the data transfer gate .phi.DT.

    摘要: In a semiconductor memory system of the serial column access type, a redundant column is used for replacing a defective column. Redundant data lines are connected to the redundant column through a redundant column selection gate. A defective address detection circuit detects the address of a defective column to enable the redundant column selection gate. An address counter is provided for a defective address detection circuit. A redundant column selection circuit selects the redundant column in response to a detection signal from the defective address detection circuit. A data line switching circuit switches, in redundant column select mode, the data lines connecting to a data input/output drive circuit from said regular data lines to the redundant data lines. With this circuit arrangement, in a redundant column select mode, the regular data lines are separated from the data input/output drive circuit. Therefore, even if a shift register constituting a regular column selection circuit operates and the defective column selection gate is enabled to set up a connection of the defective column to the regular data lines, the error data from the defective column is never output. Further, the shift register is operable irrespective of the defective column detection.

    摘要: In this invention, in a sensing circuit of a dynamic memory, barrier transistors are provided between the bit lines and the sensing amplifier. A circuit is provided that, on sensing and on data transfer, changes the gate potential of the barrier transistors so that during the sensing operation the barrier transistors are temporarily turned OFF, so that sensing can be carried out with high sensitivity, as the sensing system is not affected by the parasitic capacitance of the bit lines, while, on data transfer to the input/output lines, the gate potential of the barrier transistors is raised to a level greater than a value reached by adding the threshold value of the MOS transistors to the power source voltage, so that the conductance of the barrier transistors is increased, thereby speeding up the presensing of the input/output lines in the sensing circuit.
