    摘要: Each of a plurality of memory arrays is divided into a plurality of memory mats MAT00L-MAT07L to MAT10R-MAT17R in directions in which word lines and bit lines extend. First common data lines, that is, sub-IO lines, are provided which correspond to these memory mats and which are disposed in parallel to the word lines. Bit lines designating the corresponding memory mats are selectively connected to the first common data lines. Second common data lines, that is, main IO line groups MIOG0-MIOG7, are also provided and are disposed in parallel to the bit lines. Designated sub-IO lines are selectively connected to the second common data lines. Moreover, a plurality of main amplifiers forming a main amplifier unit MAU0 are orderly arranged in the direction in which the bit lines extend. These include a first main amplifier comprising a static current mirror amplifier which requires a relatively large operating current and a second main amplifier comprising a dynamic CMOS latch amplifier which requires only a relatively small operating current. These main amplifiers are put to proper use in conformity with the operating mode involved. By virtue of these arrangements, the number of parallel bits in a multibit parallel test mode of a dynamic RAM becomes expandable without being restricted by the number of the sub-IO lines correspondingly provided for each memory mat.

    摘要: The present invention is intended to operate a semiconductor device at high speed with low voltage. A circuit configuration is used in which the transfer impedance between a common I/O line and a data line is changed depending on whether information is to be read or written. A current/voltage converter is provided which includes a MISFET different in conduction type to a select MISFET. Thus, the speed of reading information is increased. An intermediate voltage generator having high driving capability is provided. Thus, the circuit has sufficient driving capability for an LSI having large load capacitance. A voltage converter is provided which converts a data line supply voltage or word line supply voltage to a higher voltage. Therefore, stabilized signal transmission is ensured.

    摘要: A semiconductor integrated circuit is disclosed, in which a group of sense amplifiers activated at the same time by a selection signal on a selection signal line are divided into a plurality of blocks, and a power-source line for driving sense amplifiers is formed for each sense amplifier block so as to cross the selection signal line. Alternatively, an input/output line is divided into a plurality of sub-input/output lines, and a plurality of input/output lines are formed so that each input/output line crosses its sub-input/output lines, to form a hierarchical structure with respect to input/output lines. Thus, the load capacitance of each power-source line is reduced, and the time constant of each of the charging and discharging of the load capacitance is decreased. That is, the above semiconductor integrated circuit can operate at high speed.

    摘要: In a voltage converter provided in a semiconductor device and supplying an internal supply voltage to a circuit in the semiconductor device, a circuit is provided for generating a first voltage whose dependency on an external supply voltage is regulated to a predetermined small value, while another circuit is provided for generating a second voltage whose dependency on the external supplying voltage is larger than the dependency of the first voltage. Another circuit selects the first voltage when the semiconductor device is in a state of a standard operation and selects the second voltage when the device is in another state of operation, such as testing or aging. The selected voltage may be converted by a differential amplifier which is constituted by a load of P-channel MOS transistors and a source-coupled pair of N-channel MOS transistors. An output of the differential amplifier is fed back through a directly coupled voltage lowering circuit which generates the converted output.
