    Abstract: A threshold compensating circuit generates a bias potential VBIAS, that is, a threshold voltage of a MOS transistor offset by a given value. A gate-source voltage having compensation for variation in threshold voltage is thus applied to a transistor. By using a differential amplifier having this transistor as a current source, a voltage down-converter less susceptible to variation in threshold voltage caused by process variation and temperature can be implemented.

    Abstract: In a network in which a plurality of terminals share one communication channel, signal collision is avoided and a predetermined signal is transmitted with a higher priority level. Priority levels are defined so that they are common to all the packets to be sent by nodes (including terminals and relating devices) on a network. Respective slots that regulate timing for sending out packets are assigned to the respective priority levels. Each slot is determined with reference to a time at which an ongoing packet transmission on the communication channel has finished. The priority levels are allocated in such a manner that packets having higher priority levels (packets to be sent out with higher priority) are allocated to slots having earlier timing.

    Abstract: Each of N memory blocks of first to Nth stages includes a plurality of first and second driver units. The plurality of first and second driver units are respectively provided corresponding to one end and another end of a plurality of digit lines included in each memory block. Each of the first driver units in memory blocks before a selected memory block connects a corresponding digit line to a first voltage according to a voltage level on a digit line of the same row in a memory block of a previous stage. A second driver unit in the selected memory block connects a corresponding digit line to a second voltage in order to supply a data write current. In other words, digit lines in the memory blocks before the selected memory block are not used as current lines but as signal lines.

    Abstract: A reference cell is connected to two reference bit lines. In data access, when one reference bit line is driven to a selected state in response to a reference column select signal which is a decode result of a column address, a potential of a selected reference bit line is transmitted to a reference data bus line. A potential difference between the reference data bus line and a data bus line is amplified by a sense amplifier, and read data is output from an external terminal. During the access period, a reference bit line in a non-selected state is precharged to a ground potential in response to a reset signal at H level. In the next data access, when the non-selected reference bit line is selected, successive data reading is attained without waiting for a time period for precharging a bit line.

    Abstract: Disclosed here is a method for speeding up data writing and reducing power consumption by reducing the variation of the threshold voltage of each of non-volatile memory cells at data writing. When writing data in a memory cell, a voltage of about 8V is applied to the memory gate line, a voltage of about 5V is applied to the source line, a voltage of about 1.5V is applied to the selected gate line respectively. At that time, in the writing circuit, the writing pulse is 0, the writing latch output a High signal, and a NAND-circuit outputs a Low signal. And, a constant current of about 1 iA flows in a constant current source transistor and the bit line is discharged by a constant current of about 1 iA to flow a current in the memory cell.
