摘要:
An internal voltage generator when activated, generates an internal voltage to be supplied to an internal circuit. Operating the internal voltage generator consumes a predetermined amount of the power. In response to a control signal from the exterior, an entry circuit inactivates the internal voltage generator. When the internal voltage generator is inactivated, the internal voltage is not generated, thereby reducing the power consumption. By the control signal from the exterior, therefore, a chip can easily enter a low power consumption mode. The internal voltage generator is exemplified by a booster for generating the boost voltage of a word line connected with memory cells, a substrate voltage generator for generating a substrate voltage, or a precharging voltage generator for generating the precharging voltage of bit lines to be connected with the memory cells.

摘要:
When data is disclosed to a plurality of users by using a transfer network and a transfer apparatus, data disclosure time control which cannot be adversely affected by the users is performed to reduce the difference in data disclosure time among the users. A transfer network system includes a distribution server serving as a data-distribution-source transfer apparatus, and a network terminal connected to distribution-destination user equipment. The distribution server and the network terminal each have a time keeping function and a time synchronization function for matching the time of the time keeping function with a master clock. The distribution server sends in advance disclosure data and disclosure time to the network terminal. When the time of the time keeping function of the network terminal matches the disclosure time, the network terminal sends the disclosure data to the user equipment.
