    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a DRAM in which power consumption of refreshing is reduced to degree of a data retention mode of a low/medium speed SRAM. SOLUTION: This device has such constitution that the number of word lines intersecting with bit lines is made 1/n (n: positive integer) of the prescribed number of lines with making the number of word lines for each block 12a into the prescribed number of lines and making the number of blocks 12a (n) times. Length of bit lines is shortened, capacity of bit lines is reduced, and power consumption of a memory array 16a is reduced.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a memory system which is constituted of DRAM capable of executing seamless operation by not only a reading operation but also a writing operation by preventing band width from being substantially reduced as compared with a clock pulse frequency regardless of in which bank access is performed and in which order it is executed. SOLUTION: Memory array is separated from data in an early stage by applying pre-fetch mechanism in reading and writing so as to prevent the energizing and pre-fetching operations, etc., which are the ones required for succeeding reading in memory array from being the main cause of reduction in access speed. Two-fold data of an array time constant is pre-fetched so that the both of reading ans writing are simultaneously realized concerning the seamless operation by singlel bank configuration in spite of any kind of low-access.

    Abstract: PURPOSE: To reduce the swing of a bit line by limiting the swing of a rise bit line to prescribed voltage higher than power voltage. CONSTITUTION: External voltages VCC and VSS are used for a word line driver 20, PMOS cell array 16 in an n-type well, a COMS AC connection sense amplifier 18 and a bit line monitor circuit 22. Since an initial bit line is precharged by VEQ which is larger than the threshold of QPCELL of VTP, a signal can be generated at high speed. A signal charge appearing on the bit line BL30 from an access cell is speedily detected in the sense amplifier at sense clocks ϕSR and ϕSP. Here, voltages VCC and VSS charge rise BL and discharge fall BL. Thus, sense speed improves. At that time, a reference bit is monitored in the monitor circuit 22, non-activates clocks ϕ1 and ϕ2 and limits voltage when it reaches setting voltage. Then, the swing of boosting voltage is limited between a power source and setting voltage and the swing of the bit line can be reduced.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a semiconductor memory device in which active current is reduced by reducing the number of sense amplifiers to be simultaneously activated.
    SOLUTION: This SDRAM has a divided word line structure, and includes a plurality of banks. Each bank BNK0 includes arrays AR1 to 64 and a main word line MWL of 4K. A row address signal is captured according to a row address strobe signal, and a segment address signal is captured according to a column address strobe signal. A main row decoder MRD simultaneously activates main word lines MWL1, 5, 9 and 13 according to the row address signal. The segment row decoder SRD selects only the array AR1 according to the segment address signal, and activates only a sense amplifier SA of 1K corresponding to the selected array AR1. The main word lines MWL1, 5, 9 and 13 are activated, however the segment word lines of the arrays 2 to 64 are not activated, and no data is therefore destroyed.
