摘要:
In a read only semiconductor memory, signal lines such as data lines are subjected to an undesired parasitic capacitance which restricts the signal changing rate along the lines. The parasitic capacitance which is driven by a memory cell will become increasingly higher as the memory capacity is increased. According to the present invention, a differential sense amplifier is used to amplify the data signals which are read out of the memory cell. At the same time, a dummy cell is used to generate a reference potential which is to be referred to by the differential sense amplifier. In particular, a dummy cell arrangement is provided wherein each dummy cell includes at least two series-connected semiconductor elements to provide a predetermined dummy cell conductance to establish a reference value. Another aspect of the invention lies in the use of column switches between a common data line and data lines of the memory arrays for coupling only one data line at a time through the column switch to the sense amplifier. In addition, a built-in error-correcting-code circuit is provided which operates in conjunction with a selecting circuit so that memory cells delivering a predetermined set of data are spaced apart from one another by at least predetermined distances to reduce the likelihood of errors from immediately adjacent memory cells.

摘要:
A controller (15) performs a stop operation of stopping electric power generation by a fuel cell (3); then performs an activity recovery operation of stopping the supply of a fuel gas by a fuel gas supply unit (10) to an anode (2a), causing an anode inert gas supply unit (13) to supply an inert gas to the anode (2a), and causing an oxidizing gas supply unit (11) to supply an oxidizing gas to a cathode (2b); and performs control such that the fuel gas supply unit (10) resumes supplying the fuel gas to the anode (2a) to resume the electric power generation by the fuel cell (3) after the cell voltage of the fuel cell (3) which is detected by a voltage detector (14) has decreased to a first voltage or lower.
