摘要:
Read data supplied from one of a plurality of differential amplifier circuits is transmitted to a read data bus driver circuit via one of a plurality of CMOS transfer gates and a data latch circuit. The potential of read data bus pair is forcedly set to a low level in response to a control signal until the read data is transmitted to the read data bus driver circuit. Thereafter, the read data bus driver circuit drives the read data bus pair in accordance with the transmitted read data. Thereby, a speed of the address access operation can be increased without outputting invalid data.

The present invention semiconductor memory device includes common signal lines from which memory cell data is read and an amplifier for detecting a potential difference between these common signal lines, wherein equalization of the common signal lines is started when a potential difference required for an operation of the amplifier is generated on the common signal lines.Also, a semiconductor memory device having a plurality of memory cell arrays includes first common signal lines for reading memory cell data and second common signal lines having the first common signal lines connected thereto. The first common signal lines are operated in an activated state only after a writing operation, whereby access time of the semiconductor device can be shortened.

In the present semiconductor device a positive, driving pump circuit is driven by an external power supply potential EXVDD (for example of 1.8V) to generate a positive voltage VPC (for example of 2.4V). A negative pump circuit for internal operation is driven by the positive voltage VPC to generate a negative voltage VNA (for example of −9.2V) required in an erasure or similar internal operation for a word line. The negative pump circuit for internal operation can have a smaller number of stages of pump and hence consume a smaller area than when the circuit is driven by the external power supply voltage EXVDD (for example of 1.8V) as conventional.

摘要:
An external clock generating circuit generates a mode indicating signal at the “H” level and generates an external clock signal synchronized with a write command buffer signal, when a semiconductor memory device is not in an internal operation mode. When the semiconductor memory device enters an internal operation mode and the mode indicating signal makes a transition from “H” to “L”, the external clock signal is fixed at the “L” level. The external clock signal is not supplied to an external CUI, and the external CUI is set in a state in which reception of any external command is prohibited. Until the end of asynchronous reset, the mode indicating signal is kept at the “L” level, and thereafter raised to the “H” level, so that malfunction caused by an input of an external command during asynchronous reset period can be avoided.
