    Abstract: A data transfer apparatus is disclosed which has a first, a second, and a third pipeline processing circuits disposed in cascade connection. The first and the second pipeline processing circuits are each provided with an arbitrary signal processing circuit, a switch element for controlling the introduction of data into the signal processing circuit, and a switch control circuit for turning on the switch element on detecting completion of the transfer of data from the signal processing circuit to a pipeline processing circuit in the subsequent stage. The third pipeline processing circuit is provided with an output circuit and a switch element for introducing data transferred from the second pipeline processing circuit into the output circuit as synchronized with an external clock signal. Between the first and the second pipeline processing circuit, therefore, data can be transferred with a timing conforming to the timing of the operation of the signal processing circuit without being synchronized with an external clock signal. In the output circuit, data can be issued as synchronized with an external clock signal. Thus, a signal of a very high frequency can be selected as a clock signal for setting the timing of the whole of a system incorporating the data transfer apparatus therein.

    Abstract: A semiconductor memory having a plurality of banks, a first specify unit, and a second specify unit. The first specify unit is used to specify one of the banks by decoding a bank address signal contained in a row address signal. The second specify unit is used to specify one of the banks by decoding the bank address signal contained in the row address signal, according to bank status signals that indicate whether or not each of the banks is activated. Therefore, the semiconductor memory is used for different bank configurations. Namely, with this arrangement, the semiconductor memory is capable of serving as a memory having a smaller number of banks, to thereby improve convenience.

    Abstract: A semiconductor memory includes a plurality of cell blocks, a refresh control circuit which sequentially refreshes a plurality of the cell blocks, an access control circuit which accesses a plurality of the cell blocks, and an ECC circuit which is provided in a data path between the access control circuit and the plurality of cell blocks, so that the data which is input from and output to the access control circuit is converted to a predetermined bit converted data (so called code) by the ECC circuit and is stored in the plurality of cell blocks. Accordingly, when the access control circuit accesses the plurality of cell blocks, if the access cannot be carried out for specified cell block which is in a refresh state (that is, a correct data (code) cannot be written to or read from the cell block in a refresh state) the data in the access control circuit side can be reproduced as correct data by the ECC circuit. Therefore, viewed from the external, a predetermined access can be carried out without being affected by the refresh state.

    Abstract: A dynamic random access memory (DRAM) device is formed on a semiconductor substrate, the device having an array of memory cells which are divided in several sub-arrays. The device has memory blocks each containing one of the sub-arrays, a word decoder and column decoder. Each of the memory blocks is selected independently to perform an access operation and refresh operation. As long as different memory blocks are selected for the respective operations, both operations are performed in parallel, however, when the same memory block is selected for both operations, namely, double selection, a comparison circuit detects the double selection and gives priority to one of the operations. The operation selected thus, preferentially performed. Usually, the refresh operations is then performed. However, in order to decrease the "busy ratio" of the device, the access operation is performed preferentially. Further, a complicated operation for priority selection may be performed according to a predetermined schedule memorized in a priority providing means. In addition, a common word bus line is proposed for accessing each of the memory blocks, namely, each sub-arrays, in order to reduce the number of common word lines for realizing a further high packing denisty of the DRAM device. This common bus line is also applicable to other devices such as a static RAM.
