    摘要: A synchronous semiconductor memory device comprises: a memory cell array; a decoder circuit for decoding an address, which is supplied in synchronism with a clock, to select a memory cell of the memory cell array; a plurality of main data line pairs, to which data of the memory cell array are transferred; a plurality of data line buffers, each of which is provided in a corresponding one of the main data line pairs and each of which includes a latch circuit; and a plurality of peripheral data lines for transferring data of each of the data line buffers to a data input/output terminal, wherein a plurality of bits of data per data input/output terminal read out of the memory cell array are transferred to the data line buffers via the main data line pairs in parallel, and while head data of the plurality of bits of data pass through the latch circuits to be transferred to one of the peripheral data lines, a plurality of continuous data are temporarily held by the latch circuit, and subsequent data are sequentially transferred to the same peripheral data line as the one of the peripheral data lines, to which the head data have been transferred. Thus, it is possible to decrease the number of peripheral data lines to reduce the chip size of an SDRAM while adopting a pre-fetch system for accelerating a data transfer cycle.

    摘要: An input data register for latching write data is arranged in a position near a memory cell array of a memory core section. The input data register is arranged on the upstream side of a data path used for writing data into a memory cell. Write data input to a data pin which is arranged in the end position on the downstream side is latched in the input data register via a data input buffer, serial/parallel converting circuit and write data line. Data latched in the input data register is written into a memory cell via a DQ write driver, data line pair, I/O gate and bit line pair in a next write cycle.

    摘要: A semiconductor integrated circuit has an internal clock signal generator circuit and a data input/output circuit. The internal clock signal generator circuit includes a clock receiver, a synchronous delay control circuit, a clock driver, an output control circuit, a delay monitor, and a control signal generator circuit. Accordingly, in a delay measuring mode, a delay in the input signal is set in the delay monitor based on a measurement start signal and a measurement stop signal. After completion of the delay measuring mode, the delay monitor causes the signal CLK, outputted from the clock receiver, to lag behind by a delay set in the delay measuring mode. Further, the delay monitor outputs the delayed signal to the synchronous delay control circuit.

    摘要: A row access command and column access command are supplied as one packet to an FCRAM in two successive clock cycles in order to shorten random access time and random cycle time. At this time, definition of the read/write operation is made by use of a first command and a decode address of a memory cell array is fetched in response to the first command. When the decode address of the memory cell array is fetched in response to the first command, command control pins of the conventional SDR/DDR-SDRAM are used as address pins.
