    Abstract: PURPOSE: To improve the data signal/noise ratio in a high density DRAM by using a non-selective bit line as an AC ground bus and shielding a detected data bit line or a column line. CONSTITUTION: An isolation clock ISOA lowers and turns off an isolation device 1 and 2, at the beginning of an access cycle, in the case of access to a memory cell responding to a word line ML situated on the left side of a sense amplifier 10 on a bit line BL2. With ISOA lowering, a P channel/clamp device 9, 11 turns on, connecting to an array power source potential VD3 a non-active bit line segment BL1 and BL1' separated from the amplifier 10. When a reference word line R2' corresponding to the selected line ML becomes an active state, data and a reference signal are connected to a line segment BL2 and BL2'. Accordingly, signals generating on the reference bit line and the data bit line are all shielded from all dynamic interline connections.

    Abstract: PURPOSE: To solve the confrontation which can exist between an error correcting system at a chip level and that at a system level by providing an error correction and detection means at not less than two levels so as to prohibit the operation of an error correction and detection means at a lower-order level when a multiplex fault is generated. CONSTITUTION: A correction impossible error detection signal from the syndrome generator 91 for a chip level error correction circuit 90 is supplied for a latch 55 through an AND gate 53 and an OR gate 56, and the latch 5 supplies a correction prohibiting signal to a decoder 92. The reset input R of he latch 55 receives a reset mode A or B signal generated similarly to a set mode A signal. After a system error circuit is attained, the reset mode A signal resets only he latch 55 through the OR gate 54 to recover normal operation. A set mode B signal is used for executing system judgment by prohibiting on-ship error correction for attaching the memory bit mapping of the position of defective data. Thereby the fault tolerant ability of a high density semiconductor memory is improved.

    Abstract: PURPOSE: To attain batch writing in the plural memory cells of a memory device such as a DRAM for the purpose of a test and stress impression. CONSTITUTION: The first set of word lines (W1 and W3) which control the connection of the memory cells of the first set of memory cells with the first bit line of each bit line pair (39T and 39C) are turned on. Afterwards, a voltage between the two bit lines of the bit line pair is averaged (24), and the charge of the first bit line of the bit line pair is made higher than the charge of the second bit line of the bit line pair. Next, a sense amplifier (23) connected with the bit line pair is turned on, the difference of the charges between the bit line pair is sensed, and the first set of memory cells are charged. Then, the second set of word lines (W0 and W2) which control the connection of the memory cells of the second set of memory cells with the second bit line are turned on. At last, the previously turned-on word lines are turned off, and then the sense amplifier is turned off.

    Abstract: PURPOSE: To make the detection of an on-chip voltage during the gradient rise of power supply possible within a high reliability range by utilizing an auxiliary threshold current, so that sufficient power supply detection may be performed during the gradient rise of the power supply, when the voltage rises. CONSTITUTION: An auxiliary threshold current has a characteristic such that it varies depending upon the length of the transistor of a device or the device itself when the device is short. However, the variability of the characteristic is reduced, when the device is long. Therefore, the sensitivity of a power supply rise detecting circuit with respect to a slow power supply gradient can be eliminated by utilizing the auxiliary threshold currents of devices connected to a latch L and having various lengths. The charging of a latch node is controlled by the auxiliary threshold current, and a latched-state threshold voltage is mainly decided by the device widths of a P-type channel field effect transistor P0 and an N-type channel field effect transistor N0. In this case, the use of the latch L is meaningful, because the latch L provides an abrupt status change during the slow power supply gradient for avoiding oscillation in a circuit which is intended to be initialized.
