    摘要: A semiconductor memory device has a hierarchical bit line structure. The semiconductor memory device may include first and second memory cell clusters, which share the same bit line pair and are divided operationally; third and fourth memory cell clusters, which are connected respectively corresponding to word lines coupled with the first and second memory cell clusters, and which share a bit line pair different from the bit line pair and are divided operationally; and a column pass gate for switching one of bit line pairs connected with the first to fourth memory cell clusters, to a common sense amplifier, in response to a column selection signal. Whereby an operating speed decrease caused by load of peripheral circuits connected to the bit line is improved, and the number of column pass gates is reduced substantially with a reduction of chip size.

    摘要: A method and circuit for sampling and writing data in a double data rate (DDR) memory device, capable of securing sufficient setup and hold margins regardless of the operation frequency. Transferring first and second sampled input data to a first path using a first path control signal. Transferring third and fourth sampled input data to a second path using a second path control signal. The first and second path control signals are one half-cycle out of phase. First to fourth data are successively sampled in synchronization with a rising or falling edge of a first external clock signal; The sampled first data is linked onto a first path and the sampled second data is linked onto a second path in response to the first path control signal (generated in synchronization with a falling edge of the external clock signal); the first data on the first path and the second data on the second path are written to the memory cells in response to a write clock signal.
