    摘要: A shift register includes plural latches corresponding to normal word lines of normal memory cell rows and a redundancy word line of a redundancy memory cell row, respectively, in order to sequentially activate any of the redundancy word line and the normal word lines upon every refresh request. An activation circuit activates any of the normal word lines and redundancy word line according to an output of the shift register. A first storing circuit stores in advance a defect address indicating a defective normal memory cell row. A first activation control circuit prohibits activation of a normal word line corresponding to the defect address stored in the first storing circuit when the output of the shift register indicates the normal word line.

    摘要: A plurality of switching transistors is provided, each connects power supply terminals of a plurality of first circuit blocks to a power supply line, respectively. Among the first circuit blocks, the power supply terminals of the first circuit blocks operating at different timings are connected by an internal power supply line. A power supply control circuit simultaneously turns on the switching transistors connected to the internal power supply line, in response to operation(s) of at least any one of the first circuit blocks connected to the internal power supply line. Since the switching transistors can be shared among the first circuit blocks not operating simultaneously, operation speed of the first circuit blocks can be increased. Since a total size of the switching transistors can be made small, standby current can be decreased. Accordingly, a semiconductor integrated circuit operating at a high speed can be constituted without increasing the standby current.

    摘要: A semiconductor integrated circuit, comprising a circuit unit having a predetermined function such as a level shifter circuit or a driver transistor circuit by a combination of a plurality of transistors, is disclosed. Among a plurality of the transistors of the circuit unit, the source potential of at least one transistor adapted to turn off during the standby period of the circuit unit is changed. Preferably, the semiconductor integrated circuit is configured to reduce the sub-threshold current flowing between the source and the drain of at least one transistor adapted to turn off during the standby period of the circuit unit by changing the source potential at a timing based on the standby period of the circuit unit in such a manner that a predetermined bias voltage is applied between the gate and the source of the transistor. A method of switching the source potential of at least one transistor in the semiconductor integrated circuit having the configuration described above is also disclosed.

    摘要: A first transistor is turned on during operation of a circuit block, to connect a substrate of the transistor to a first substrate voltage line. A second transistor is turned on during non-operation of the circuit block, to connect the substrate of the transistor to a second substrate voltage line. ON resistance of the second transistor is higher than that of the first transistor. A source-to-substrate voltage of the transistor being not in operation is set to be higher than that of the transistor being in operation. When a semiconductor integrated circuit switches from the operation state to the non-operation state, its substrate voltage changes gradually to a second substrate voltage. Charging/discharging currents of the substrate voltage can be dispersed so that it is possible to suppress current consumption in shifting from the operation state to the non-operation state and reduce a standby current in the non-operation state.

    摘要: In a semiconductor memory, sub-decoders in two adjacent sub-decoder groups are mirror-arranged with respect to the boundary between the two blocks. Sub-select lines are cross-connected to the sub-decoders in one sub-decoder group. This permits all sub-select lines connected to the two adjacent sub-decoder groups to be sequentially selected in a certain direction in accordance with a sequentially incremented address. Even when shift redundancy processing is performed, the order of selection of these sub-select lines does not reverse itself owing to the mirror arrangement.
