Abstract:
Disclosed is a semiconductor memory device capable of performing a modified read operation or a modified write operation. The semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell array, a read circuit, and a write circuit. The semiconductor memory device further includes an operation unit performing an operation on the read data obtained by the read circuit according to the operation assignment information applied through an address line to reduce memory access time when entering the modified read mode. In addition, the semiconductor memory device includes a control circuit to optionally manage a normal read mode and the modified read mode and allow operation result data output from the operation unit to be written by the write circuit in the modified read mode.
Abstract:
A semiconductor memory device comprises a plurality of input/output pads positioned on a semiconductor substrate and a plurality of memory cell arrays. Each of access times of the memory cell arrays is composed differently proportionally to the length of data passage between the input/output pads and the memory cell arrays. Therefore, a fast access memory area and a low access memory area can be provided within a single memory by having the asymmetric access times based on the physical distance to the input/output pad.
Abstract:
In the embodiment according to the concept of the present invention, disclosed is a semiconductor memory cell array. The semiconductor memory cell array includes a first memory cell array area with first group memory cells with preset first operation speeds which are arranged on a chip in a matrix of a row and a column. Also, the semiconductor memory cell array includes a second memory cell array area with second group memory cells with second operation speeds faster than the first operation speeds which are arranged on the chip in the matrix of the row and the column by interposing an input and output sense amplifier. Thereby, the operation performance of a memory chip is improved and low power consumption is obtained.
