    摘要: A semiconductor memory device that speeds up its operation. A multiplexer puts one of word lines into an active state to select one memory cell in each local block. Another multiplexer puts one of local block selection signals into an active state and puts one of p-channel transistors into the ON state to select one of local blocks arranged in a column direction. A NAND element inverts the logical product of a signal output from a local block selected by a local block selection signal and a signal output from a block not selected and outputs a result obtained to put an n-channel transistor into the ON or OFF state. The n-channel transistor grounds a common bit line when it goes into the ON state. Each of the p-channel transistors is selected by a column switch (not shown) and send read data to a data bus.

    摘要: At switching normal operation mode to low power mode, a first switch disconnects a virtual power supply line and a normal power supply line in response to activation of a switch control signal. The power supply voltage to a first circuit block connected to the virtual power supply line is suspended during the low power mode. A second switch of a floating prevention circuit connects a node between output of the first circuit block and input of a second circuit block to a first voltage line in response to inactivation of the switch control signal during the low power mode. This prevents the input of the second circuit block from floating even without the power supply voltage supplied to the first circuit block, and therefore prevents feedthrough current from flowing through the second circuit block, which enables reduction in power consumption during the low power mode.

    摘要: A semiconductor device and a method for manufacturing the same and method for deleting information in use of the semiconductor device, in which field shield isolation or a trench type isolation between elements is used with suppression of penetration of field oxide into element active region of the device, that is, a defect involved in conventional LOCOS type process, are disclosed. A non-LOCOS insulating device isolation block is formed in a semiconductor substrate. The non-LOCOS insulating device isolation block uses a field shield element isolation structure or trench type element isolation structure. After gate electrode wiring layers are formed in a field region and an active region to the same level, a pad polysilicon film formed on the entire surface to cover the patterns of these gate electrode wiring layers is polished by chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) using the cap insulating films of the gate electrode wiring layers as stoppers, thereby forming the gate electrode wiring layers into separated patterns. With this arrangement, even when the width of the gate electrode wiring layer is reduced to the exposure limit in photolithography, the pad polysilicon film can be separated and patterned.

    摘要: A semiconductor memory that reduces the amount of power consumed by an entire unit by decreasing a charging/discharging current. A row direction selection circuit selects predetermined memory cell groups in a row direction in response to a row input address signal. A column direction selection circuit selects predetermined memory cell groups in a column direction in response to a column input address signal. Connection-disconnection circuits connect a divided bit line corresponding to a column selected by the column direction selection circuit of divided bit lines connected to memory cell groups, respectively, selected by the row direction selection circuit to the corresponding common bit line and do not connect divided bit lines corresponding to the other columns.

    摘要: A frequency comparator compares frequencies of a reference clock and an output clock to output a frequency comparison signal. A frequency variable circuit is composed of a delay circuit, which has a plurality of inverting circuits connected in series, and a first selection circuit. The first selection circuit selects one of odd output signals outputted from odd-numbered inverting circuits, according to the frequency comparison signal to feedback the selected odd output signal to an input of the delay circuit as a feedback signal. A phase comparator compares phases of the reference clock and the output clock to output a phase comparison signal. A second selection circuit selects one of the odd output signals according to the phase comparison signal to output it as the output clock.

    摘要: A programmable logic device with ferroelectric configuration memories storing multiple configuration data sets. The device has programmable logic blocks, interconnections, and I/O blocks to provide desired logic functions. Those building blocks can be dynamically reconfigured by changing the selection of configuration data stored in the device's integral configuration memories. The configuration memories are divided into groups, so that they can be loaded concurrently with multiple configuration data streams. To protect the content of configuration memories from unauthorized access, the device employs an authentication mechanism that uses security IDs stored in the configuration memories. The device has a memory controller to provide an appropriate power supply sequence for ferroelectric memory cells to ensure the reliable data retention when the device is powered up or shut down.
