    Abstract: The CFRAM arrangement has a number of memory cells each consisting of a ferroelectric storage capacitor and a selection transistor. Each block of selection transistors is associated with a block-select-transistor. The selection transistors and the block-select-transistor are arranged between a plate line and a bit line and the selection transistors are each connected to word lines. The selection transistors are depletion type FETs. The CFRAM arrangement has a number of memory cells (Z0-Z3) each consisting of a ferroelectric storage capacitor (Cferro0...) and a selection transistor (Tdep10..). Each block of selection transistors is associated with a block-select-transistor (TEnh). The selection transistors and the block-select-transistor are arranged between a plate line (PL) and a bit line (BL) and the selection transistors are each connected to word lines (WL0...). The selection transistors are depletion type field effect transistors.

    Abstract: The circuit includes an information memory with an addressing device with a decoder and an input circuit. The number of address terminal contacts (11,12) is equal to a sum Z+S, where Z is the number of bits required by M elements, and S is the number of bits required by N elements. The numbers P and Q are selected so that for addressing P elements K less than or equal to (Z-2) bits are required and for addressing Q elements L less than or equal to (S-2) bits are required. The input circuit (11-36) has an additional control bit contact (13) and a switchover device (31-34) which receives a control bit to set a first operating mode or a second, third or fourth operating mode accordingly.

    Abstract: The memory arrangement has a memory cell field (7) with a number of memory cells driven via word lines and bit lines and a refresh logic circuit (8) for refreshing the memory contents of the memory cell field. A comparator circuit (9) compares a characteristic parameter of at least one memory cell (10) with a reference value (VREF) and activates the refresh logic as required.
