The semiconductor device includes: a buffer circuit that generates a power-supply voltage of a CMOS; a first replica transistor that is a replica of a p-channel MOS transistor forming the CMOS, and is diode-connected; a second replica transistor that is a replica of an n-channel MOS transistor forming the CMOS, and is diode-connected; and a voltage controller that controls the voltage between the anode and cathode of the replica transistors so that the current value of the current flowing into the replica transistor becomes equal to a given target value. In this semiconductor device, the buffer circuit generates the power-supply voltage, with the target voltage being a voltage that is controlled by the voltage controller.

摘要： There is produced a first internal voltage having a difference relative to a power supply voltage, the difference being substantially equal to a threshold voltage of an address selection MOSFET of a dynamic memory cell. The first voltage is supplied to a sense amplifier as an operating voltage on a high-level side thereof. There is produced a second internal voltage having a predetermined difference relative to a circuit ground potential. The second voltage is supplied to the sense amplifier as an operating voltage on a low-level side thereof. A write signal having a high level corresponding to the first internal voltage and a low level corresponding to the second internal voltage is generated by a write amplifier to be transferred to a pair of complementary data lines connected to the dynamic memory cell. A high level, e.g., the power supply voltage representing a selection level and a low level, e.g., the circuit ground level indicating a non-selection level are supplied to a word line connected to the dynamic memory cell.

摘要： In a dynamic RAM having a memory cell array in which a dynamic memory cell is arranged at an intersection between a word line and one of a pair of bit lines, a select level signal corresponding to a supply voltage and an unselect level signal corresponding to a negative potential lower than circuit ground potential are supplied to the word line. A signal of a memory cell read to the pair of bit lines by a sense amplifier that operates on the circuit ground potential and an internal voltage formed by dropping the supply voltage by an amount equivalent to the threshold voltage of the address select MOSFET is amplified. The dynamic RAM has an oscillator that receives the supply voltage and circuit ground potential and a circuit that receives an oscillation pulse generated by the oscillator to generate the negative potential.

摘要： Disclosed herein is a device that includes a capacitor, a pumping circuit supplying a pumping signal changed between first and second potential to a first electrode of the capacitor, and an output circuit precharging a second electrode of the capacitor to a third potential different from the first and second potentials. The second electrode of the capacitor is thereby changed from the third potential to a fourth potential higher than the third potential when the pumping signal is changed from the first potential to the second potential.
