    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: PURPOSE: To make it possible to continue the burst transmission in the same page while altering a column address by controlling the falling timing of OE. CONSTITUTION: When OE falls 110 and CAS continuously falls 112 at a time t10, burst transmission starting conditions are satisfied. A column address Cay2 is latched at the fall 112, an object to be accessed is decided. The data burst transmission is started from the CAS fall 114 of a time t11, fall data Dy2 is latched, and then data Dy3, 0, 1 are latched at the falls 115, 116, 122 of the CAS. The OE fall 120 and CAS fall 122 are combined as a burst transmission initiation start signal. At the fall 122, next column address CAz3 is latched, and 4 data after the data Dz3 is burst transmitted in response to the CAS fall 124 of time t15 up to time t16 to 19. Accordingly, at the burst initiation start, 4-continuous bit data are always read.

    Abstract: PURPOSE: To increase a storage voltage and reading signal by connecting a capacitor for a charge pump with a memory cell. CONSTITUTION: A lead 24, which works as a charge pump control line UP, is installed on a word line 22. The lead 24 is extending along the word line, and has an extending part 25 which is at least partly overlapped with a trench lead 14 The conductor part 25 is separated from the trench conductor 14 and a connection body 21 by an insulation layer 23, and forms capacitance Cp for the charge pump. The lead 24 has a conductor 25 extending into the trench and the conductor can also be provided so as to form a capacity Cp with the trench conductor 14. In this case, a Cp value can be increased. The capacity Cp and the charge pump control line UP are added to one transistor DRAM cell. A circuit is comprised of a sense amplifier driven by a word line WL, a bit pair BLT and BLC, a cell capacity Cp , a PMOS type charge transport central FETTx, SP, and SN. It is possible to reduce a voltage of a node Nc lower than a threshold voltage of Tx by a temporarily charged voltage of Cp .

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an oscillator used for semiconductor memories and capable of reducing power consumption.
    SOLUTION: When the voltage V1 of a comparison node N1 becomes larger than a first reference voltage Vref1, a differential amplifier 101 inside the oscillator 1 makes a pulse generating circuit 110 output pulses. When the pulses are output, the comparison node N1 is discharged by a charging/discharging circuit 105. At this point, a control circuit 4 inactivates a first control signal CT1 and stops the differential amplifier 101. After the comparison node N1 is discharged, it is gradually charged by the charging/discharging circuit 105. As a result, when the voltage V1 exceeds a second reference voltage Vref2 which is the total of threshold voltages of a discharging circuit 43, the control circuit 4 activates the first control signal CT1 and operates the differential amplifier 101.
