    Abstract: A memory circuit is described which increases the density of memory cells by including a reference circuit. The memory circuit has an open digit line architecture where sense amplifiers use two digit lines to sense data stored in the memory cells. One of the digit lines is used as a reference while the other digit line is active. A reference circuit is described which can be used to replace one of the digit lines connected to the sense amplifier circuit. The reference circuit models the electrical charateristics of a digit line by including a capacitor and a transistor, each sized to match the characteristics of a digit line.

    Abstract: A circuit for providing electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection is disclosed. The circuit comprises a pair of CMOS field effect pull up and pull down transistors with reduced resistance source and drain, having a well resistor formed external to them between supply and ground busses respectively. During an ESD event, the well resistors serve to both limit the current flow through the transistors, and reduce the voltage drop across them.

    Abstract: A 16 megabit (2 ) or greater density single deposition layer metal Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) part is described which allows for a die that fits within an industry-standard 300 ml wide SOJ (Small Outline J-wing) package or a TSOP (Thin, Small Outline Package) with little or no speed loss over previous double metal deposition layered 16 megabit DRAM designs. This is accomplished using a die architecture which allows for a single metal layer signal path, together with the novel use of a lead frame to remove a substantial portion of the power busing from the die, allowing for a smaller, speed-optimized DRAM. The use of a single deposition layer metal results in lower production costs, and shorter production time.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for optimizing the speed path of a memory access operation in a synchronous depending upon the present latency period for the synchronous DRAM. The improved memory device compensates the time between row address latching and column address latching tRCD by delaying the presentment of the column address to compensate tRCD from the time available for column address latching to valid data-out (tAA) when tRCD is the critical parameter. Optimization circuitry reduces the amount of time available for tAA and "shifts" it to the more critical parameter tRCD, enabling the optimization or reduction of the time allocated for tRCD by compensating tRCD with the extra time available for tAA. Thus, the memory access optimization circuitry enables an optmization or reduction in the total memory access time by compensating the optimized tRCD with the extra time available for tAA.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit memory device is designed for high speed data access and for compatibility with existing memory systems. An address strobe signal is used to latch a first address. During a burst access cycle the address is incremented internal to the device with additional address strobe transitions. A new memory address is only required at the beginning of each burst access. Read/Write commands are issued once per burst access eliminating the need to toggle the Read/Write control line at the device cycle frequency. Transitions of the Read/Write control line during a burst access will terminate the burst access, reset the burst length counter and intialize the device for another burst access. A two stage pipelined output buffer latches read data in a first stage while data from a second stage is driven from the device. Internal read lines may become invalid in preparation for additional access cycles after the data is latched in the first stage. The device is compatible with existing Extended Data Out DRAM device pinouts, Fast Page Mode and Extended Data Out Single In-Line Memory Module pinouts, and the other memory circuit designs. The memory device maintains compatibility with nonburst mode devices such as Extended Data Out (EDO) and Fast Page Mode through bond option or mode selection circuitry. A multiplexer selects between the input address and the burst address generator output to feed an asynchronous address transition detection circuit. The address transition detection circuit generates an equilibration control signal between memory access cycles.

The first body (25) includes a die paddle (30) for supporting the die (10), and the second body (40) includes a plate (45) for overlaying the paddle (30) with the insulator (55) disposed between the paddle (30) and plate (45), thereby providing an electrical decoupling effect therebetween upon supplying power and ground connections, respectively.
