Abstract:
The SRAM cell is formed by an inverter circuit (P1, N1) using a storage node V2 as an input and a storage node V1 as an output, a load transistor P2 connected between a power source VDD and the storage node V2 using the storage node V1 as an input and the storage node V2 as an output, an access transistor N3 connected between a read bit line RBL and the storage node V1, and an access transistor N4 connected between a write bit line WBL and the storage node V2. When the access transistor N4 is controlled by a write word line WWL, the access transistor N4 can be used as holding control means and writing means for the memory cell, making it possible to obtain a semiconductor device capable of operating at a high speed with a small number of elements.
Abstract:
A voltage generator that monitors a writing margin as a control amount in order to carry out an optimum power source control when control of a SRAM cell power source is carried out at writing operation, and always keeps the writing margin constant; and a power source selector are included to switch power source voltage at writing. By switching the power source voltage at writing, a semiconductor memory device in which a stable writing operation is achieved without largely deteriorating writing time in the SRAM cell and an ultrahigh speed operation or ultralow power operation can be carried out is obtained.
Abstract:
The control unit includes a CPU which generates an access signal for performing writing or reading on the external memory, encryption/decryption means which, when the access signal is used for writing, encrypts an address designated by the CPU to generate a write address and encrypts write data contained in the access signal to generate write encrypted data, and which, when the access signal is used for reading, encrypts an address designated by the CPU to generate a read address and decrypts the encrypted data read from the external memory to generate plaintext data, and external control means which writes the write encrypted data in a position designated by the write address generated by the encryption/decryption means and which reads the encrypted data from a position designated by the read address generated by the encryption/decryption means and supplies the same to the encryption/decryption means for its decryption.
Abstract:
The SRAM cells of a semiconductor storage device each comprise first and second inverter circuits loop-connected with each other to form a hold circuit; two access transistors; and a hold control transistor connected in series with a drive transistor of the second inverter circuit. While the memory cell is not accessed, the hold control transistor causes the first and second inverter circuits to form the loop connected hold circuit for statically holding data. When the memory cell is accessed, the hold control transistor causes the first and second inverter circuits to be disconnected from the loop connection for dynamically holding data, thereby preventing data corruption that would otherwise possible occur due to a read operation. Moreover, a sense amplifier circuit that uses a single bit line to read data from a memory cell is disposed in a space appearing in the memory cell array, thereby effectively using the area.
