摘要: A semiconductor memory device has memory cells for storing data, sense amplifiers for amplifying the stored data, and cache cells in which the amplified data can be placed for quick recall. The cache cells can continue to hold data during memory-cell refresh cycles, permitting the cached data to be accessed quickly afterward. The cache cells may be coupled to column data lines that can be disconnected from the sense amplifiers, enabling memory cells to be refreshed while cache access is in progress. Write buffers may be provided so that when cache data are replaced, the old cache data can be copied back to the memory cells while the new cache data are being accessed.

摘要: There is provided a level shifter circuit which operates such that when the potential of the input signal changes from the ground potential to the first power source potential, the third transistor turns to be ON, and the fifth transistor turns to be OFF. On this instance, since the potential of the output signal is higher than the first power source potential, the second electrode of the first transistor is initiated to be charged up through the third and the fourth transistors. After that, the potential of the output signal falls down when the eighth transistor turns to be ON state. Since the potential of the second electrode of the first transistor has been charged up, the second transistor quickly turns to be OFF state so that the rush current is reduced flown from the second power source potential to the ground potential. When the potential of the output signal drops down enough, the fourth transistor turns to be OFF state so that the rush current flown from the second power source potential to the first power source potential is prevented.

摘要: A plurality of memory cell arrays each having a plurality of memory cells and a plurality of word lines the word lines are driven by drive circuits which share the driving operation, and permit reading out from and writing into the memory cells connected to the word lines WL to be driven. These drive circuits are respectively connected to main word lines WLO, which are driven by decoding the entered address information in a decoding circuit whereby the drive circuits are driven. Since the main word lines WLO are formed with a third metal wiring layer, a wiring of the word lines can be formed with a gate wiring layer of a transistor and a first metal wiring layer and wiring of a line control circuit can be formed with a second metal wiring layer which intersects the word lines thereby reducing delay operation of the memory.

摘要: A dynamic RAM having a TAG address holding circuit in a TAG block in correspondence with one of a plurality of sub-arrays to hold the lower bits of an X (row) address. A block control circuit in the TAG block determines a "Hit" or "Miss" in accordance with the held address and a new X address in response to the sub-address and outputs a TAG determination signal. In response to the TAG judgment signal, a sub-array control circuit transfers a signal for access to the TAG block and a column sense amplifier. The column sense amplifier is utilized as a cache and data latched in the column sense amplifier are read out on a data bus when a "Hit" is determined.
