Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a DRAM of an MTBL system in which interference noise between bit lines is reduced and density is high.
SOLUTION: Duplication of a sense amplifier (SA) and a bit switch (BSW) in a conventional MTBL system is eliminated, one line of a sense amplifier and a bit switch (BSW/SA) is arranged between each cell area. That is, an array is shifted in the transverse direction and piled vertically, and area is reduced. A pair of bit lines connected every other one in sense amplifiers (SA) arranged in transverse one line is replaced alternately up and down. In a pair of bit lines 11, intersection is performed at one place and interval of bit lines is made wider from the intersection point. Also, in a pair of bit lines 16, intersection is not caused, interval of bit lines is made wider at a half way. In a new MTBL system, in both cases of bit lines connected to the same sense amplifier and bit lines connected to different sense amplifiers out of adjacent bit lines, interval of the bit lines is varied (wider or narrower) at before or after the intersection point. Therefore, interference noise between adjacent any bit lines is reduced.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simultaneously accelerate RAS access time and a data transfer rate for the acceleration of a DRAM. SOLUTION: This DRAM array is provided with a row decoder means 2 and a column decoder means 3 respectively connected to the word line and bit line of a cell matrix part 1 and the column decoder means 3 is provided with plural bit switches 44 and 46 for connecting a prescribed bit line to an output bus and a local latch 36 for storing data bits provided in each group 32 of the bit lines which is the unit of the prescribed number of the bit lines. The bit switch is provided with a hierarchical structure, and since the bit line and the output bus are connected through the two serially connected bit switches, the load capacity of data lines 52 and 56 is reduced. Data inside the respective local latches 36 are serially stored in a local buffer 74 in a prescribed order and fast burst transfer is made possible.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a DRAM circuit with which operation speed of writing can be increased even when a write-mask is performed and its control method. SOLUTION: This DRAM circuit has a new column switch 14 for connecting a bit-line-pair 12 and a data-line pair 5 through a sense amplifier 13. This new column switch has a function for separating the data-line-pair 15 selected in write-mask-operation from the corresponding bit-line-pair 12. Consequently, even if the column switch 14 is turned on before it is sufficiently amplified by the sense amplifier 13, there in no possibility that the sense amplifier 13 is erroneously operated and data on the bit-line-pair 12 is destroyed operating speed of writing can be increased independently of existence of write-mask- operation of a DRAM.
