    摘要: In a synchronous semiconductor memory device, memory arrays (MA) forming activation units each are divided into a plurality of small memory arrays (MK). There are provided local I/O line pairs (LIO) each for two small memory arrays. The global I/O line pairs (GIO) crossing word lines are arranged in word line shunt regions (WS). The connection switches (BS) are arranged in the crossing between the local I/O line pairs and global I/O line pairs. Each small memory array in the activated memory array is connected to the corresponding global I/O line pair through the local I/O line pair. Thereby, a plurality of bits can be simultaneously read without increasing an area occupied by interconnections. The control of connection switch is made using a sense amplifier activation signal. Global I/O lines are precharged/equalized after data are transferred to read data registers provided for data output terminal for sequential data output or into selected memory cells. External clock signal is frequency-divided to produce phase-shifted internal clock signals which are used for producing internal voltage through charge operation.

    摘要: A first clock signal for controlling the inputting of an external signal and for controlling internal operation and a second clock signal for controlling data output are applied to separate clock input nodes, respectively. Data output timing with respect to the first clock signal can be adjusted and thus clock access time and data hold time can be adjusted. Internal data read path is pipelined to include a first transfer gate responsive to the first clock signal for transferring internal read data and a second transfer gate responsive to the second clock signal for transferring the internal read data from the first transfer gate for external outputting through an output buffer. A synchronous semiconductor memory device is provided capable of setting clock access time and data hold time at the optimal values depending on the application and of reducing the clock access time.

    摘要: To one memory array, global signal input/output line pairs in two systems, a switch for connecting the global IO line pairs to a write buffer group alternately on a clock cycle basis, and another switch for connecting the global IO line pairs to an equalize circuit alternately on a clock cycle basis are provided. During one clock cycle, writing of data through one global IO line pair and equalization of the other global IO line pair can be carried out in parallel. Therefore, data can be written easily at a high frequency.

    摘要: In an internal clock signal generation circuit, a phase comparator for detecting phase difference between an external clock signal and an internal clock signal includes a transistor and a capacitor with respect to a signal line through which a clock signal corresponding to the external clock signal is transmitted, and a transistor and a capacitor with respect to a signal line through which a clock signal corresponding to the internal clock signal is transmitted. The rising timing of the signal having a more lagging phase of the signals of the two signal lines becomes more gentle. As a result, the phase difference is increased, and the phase comparator can compare the phase at high precision.

    摘要: There is provided a semiconductor device that enables high-speed data read and reduces the area of a drive circuit for activating a word line. By signal transmission through a common word line having a low resistance and coupled at a plurality of points to a word line, it is possible to read data at high speed. Further, since the common word line is provided common to a plurality of memory blocks, a word line driver can be provided common to the memory blocks. Further, by disposing a latch circuit, corresponding to a sub-digit line, for holding the active state of the common word line, it is possible to transmit a row selection signal during data write through the common word line and thereby reduce a metal wiring layer.
