Abstract: A wordline driver circuit is shown for a DRAM, the circuit comprising a PMOS transistor structure (58) having one contact coupled to a wordline (60), a second contact coupled to a negative voltage supply and a gate coupled to a control input, the transistor having an N-well (64) about the gate, first and second contacts. An isolating structure (66) is positioned about the N-well (64) to enable it to be a separately controlled from surrounding N-well structures (64). Pulse circuits (52) are coupled to the transistor (58) for applying, when activated, a potential that enables the wordline (60) to transition to a more negative potential. A bias circuit is also provided for biasing the N-well (64) at a first potential and a second lower potential, the second lower potential applied when the pulse circuits (52) are activated. As a result, body effects in the PMOS transistor (58) are minimized while at the same time enabling a boost potential to be applied to the wordline (60).

Abstract: A boost clock signal generator which provides a boost clock signal from a pair of phase clocks. A pair of differentially-connected FET transistors (46) which generate a boost clock signal. The transistors have drain connections connected to each of two clock signals, and commonly connected sources which form an output terminal for the boost clock signal. A series pass FET transistor (58, 59) is connected with each gate of the differential transistors for maintaining the gate at a floating voltage potential. A pair of capacitive elements couple the drain of each pair of differentially-connected FET transistors to the gate of an opposite transistor. A first and second logic circuit (78, 79) are connected to the series pass FET transistors for enabling one or the other of the differentially-connected FET transistors into conduction. The pair of capacitive coupling elements (51, 52) coupling the drain of each pair of differentially-connected FET transistors to the gate of an opposite transistor increase switching speed of the clock signal generator.

Abstract: A system for a processor with memory with combined line and word access is presented. A system performs narrow read/write memory accesses and wide read/write memory accesses to the same memory bank using multiplexers and latches to direct data. The system processes 16 byte load/sore requests using a narrow read/write memory access and also processes 128 byte DMA and instruction fetch requests using a wide read/write memory access. During DMA requests, the system writes/reads sixteen DMA operations to memory on one instruction cycle. By doing this, the memory is available to process load/store or instruction fetch requests during fifteen other instruction cycles.

Abstract: An improved wordline boost clock circuit that can be used in high speed DRAM circuits requires only one boost capacitor (42) and discharges the wordlines faster, thus improving the DRAM access time. The basic feature of the clock circuit is in the floating gate structure of the NMOS device which drives the load to negative during the boosting. In a first embodiment of the clock (Fig. 2), the gate of a first device (24) is connected to a first node (26) through a second device (28). A second node (30), connected to a wordline, is discharged through the first (24) and a third (32) device when a third node (36) is high with a fourth node (38) low. After a sufficient discharge of the second node (30), the fourth node (38) is pulled to VDD turning the second device (28) on and a fourth device (40) off. The first (NMOS) transistor (24) has its gate and drain connected together and forms a diode. When a boost capacitor (42) pulls the first node (26) down to negative, the first device (24) stays completely off because of its diode configuration and the second node (30) is pulled to negative through the third device (32). In a second embodiment (Fig. 3), a first device (24) is connected between a boost capacitor and a second node (30). The load is discharged through a third device (32) with a fourth device (40) on but a first (24) and second device (28) off. After a sufficient discharge of the load, a fourth device (40) is turned off but a second device (28) is turned on, making the third device (32) a diode. When a fifth node (74) is pulled to ground, the second node 30 is pulled down to negative with the first device (24) on. In the second embodiment circuit the load discharges through only one NMOS device (32) and consequently discharges faster than the circuit of the first embodiment.
