    摘要: A memory cell includes a first inverter and a second inverter connected with each other through the output node of one of the inverters and the input node of the other inverter, and first and second transistors. Each of the transistors connected with a word line at its gate electrode is interposed between one of a bit line pair and each memory node. This data holding circuit includes an element for increasing a memory cell supply potential for driving the pair of inverters to be higher than a supply potential applied to peripheral circuits, or an element for decreasing a ground voltage for driving the pair of inverters to be lower than a ground voltage applied to the peripheral circuits.

    摘要: A current problem is that when a DRAM is to be accessed through a data bus, the DRAM is accessed independently of a bank, a row address, etc., and therefore, is inefficient. To solve this problem, an address bus and a data bus are connected to a main memory part independently of each other, a temporary memory part for holding a plurality of addresses in advance is disposed on the address bus side and holds addresses for every access to the main memory part regardless of transfer of data, thereby pipelining address inputting cycles. Further, for the purpose of an effective operation of the main memory part, using the addresses which are held, the addresses are rearranged in such a manner that addresses with the same row addresses become continuous to each other, or when there are not addresses with the same row addresses, addresses different banks from each other become continuous to each other, and the memory is thereafter accessed. This reduces the number of precharges, shortens a standby period which is necessary for a precharge, and realizes accessing while reducing a wasteful use of time.

    摘要: A power-saving network unit, which is connected to a network made up of a plurality of power-saving network units, includes: network monitoring means; network information memory; power-saving mode setting means; peripheral I/O interface; and digital processor. The network monitoring means monitors a topology of the network, or the interconnection relationship among the power-saving network units. Every time the network has been modified, the network monitoring means stores the modified network topology on the network information memory. The power-saving mode setting means receives the network information stored on the network information memory. If the power-saving network unit is a master or relay node in the network, then the power-saving mode setting means locks the peripheral I/O interface and digital processor of the power-saving network unit to the normal operation mode and prohibits these sections from entering the power-saving mode.
