摘要:
Disclosed is a phase splitter with integrated latch circuit, where the complementary output signals generated after an input signal applied to a true-complement generator are available directly without any load by the latch circuit, where upon a premature change of the input signal there is no undesired change of the previously set switching state or of the output signals, respectively, and where a simple clocking for functional control can be used. The advantages presented by the disclosed Phase splitter substantially consist in that the speed with which the complementary output signals are supplied is extremely high since the output signals are available directly, i.e. with only one stage delay, the latch circuit being non-conductive in the stationary state, and thus in a latching process does not have to be switched from one stage to the other, but only switched on.
摘要:
A memory storage system which utilizes semiconductor storage cells comprised of cross-coupled bipolar transistors arranged in a memory system array with an error reference circuit and a standby reference circuit that is controlled by a clock signal. The standby reference circuit and the error reference circuit are both coupled to the bit lines and selectively control a restore circuit that maintains, in the standby state, a selected potential on the bit lines such that short access times are realized and current is prevented from flowing into unselected cells when adjacent defective cells are being read or written.

In an integrated circuit an improved highly integrated semiconductor structure for providing a Schottky diode-resistor circuit configuration is disclosed. Although not limited thereto, the improved highly integrated semiconductor structure has particular utility when employed in a monolithic memory.

After a controlled strong lowering of the word line potential for the purpose of addressing a cell, said potential is immediately recharged simultaneously increasing the potential on the N side of the two PNP injectors of the cell and causing the injector capacitances of the selected storage cells and the bit line capacitances to form a capacitive voltage divider, so that the bit lines connected thereto are recharged to different degrees by the different magnitudes of the injector capacitances. Thus, the differential signal formed on the bit lines is noticeably amplified by the supply of currents of different magnitudes.

A new method is indicated for the restore of bitlines and data-lines from memory-cells. All bit- and datalines are switched together during the restore activity so that all restore-FETs can be prepared with the necessary re-charging current. The non-addressed bitlines are then switched off through their bitswitches. In this manner, the dimensions of the re-charging devices can be considerably reduced.

A method and apparatus for providing single clock cycle pipelined access of a memory system, which combines synchronization and self resetting techniques, includes an array of memory cells that are arranged into columns and rows and intercoupled by bit lines and word lines. The memory system also includes an address decoder and a sense enable circuit. The address decoder, upon receiving an address, interprets the address to enable a particular word line, or word lines, and to disable precharging of a bit line, or bit lines. With the word line active, the sense enable circuit generates a sense enable signal when the clock signal has encountered a transitional edge, or is in an active state. When the sense enable signal is active, the sense amplifier reads the data from the addressed memory cell via the bit lines to produce output data.
