    摘要: A simultaneous function dynamic random access memory (“DRAM”) technique of particular applicability to DRAMs, synchronous DRAMs (“SDRAM”), specialty DRAMs, embedded DRAMs, embedded SDRAMs and the like which enables the execution of “read”, “write”, “active” and “precharge” commands on a single clock cycle. The technique of the present invention is of especial applicability to embedded memory arrays or specialty DRAMs where the number of input signals to the DRAM are not necessarily limited by mechanical component packaging constraints or component pin counts. In general, the advantages of the technique are obtained through the use of separate address fields, including bank addresses, for “read” and “write” commands, and separate bank addresses for “active” and “precharge” commands with a resultant highly parallel operational functionality.

    摘要: Dummy cells each having the same layout as a normal memory cell are aligned in a row direction to the normal memory cells, and are arranged in rows and columns. In each dummy cell column, a dummy bit line is arranged, and a plurality of dummy cells are simultaneously selected and connected to the corresponding dummy bit line when one word line is selected. A voltage detecting circuit detects the potentials on the dummy bit lines to determine timing of activation of a sense amplifier. In the semiconductor memory device, the potential on the dummy bit line can be changed at high speed, and internal data read timing can be optimized independent of a structure of a memory cell array.

    摘要: A memory system that reduces the number of memory cells programmed in a memory array is provided. A logic comparator determines whether more than half of the bits of a write data word require a program operation. If so, the logic comparator provides a status signal having a first state. A status signal having the first state causes the inverse of the write data word to be written to the memory array, along with the status signal. If the status signal does not have the first state, the write data word is written to the memory array, along with the status signal. During a read operation, a data word and corresponding status signal are read from the array. If the status signal has the first state, the inverse of the data word is provided as a read data word. Otherwise, the data word is provided as the read data word.
