    Abstract: Provided is a semiconductor memory device having a low power consumption write assist circuit. The semiconductor memory device includes multiple word lines, multiple bit line pairs, multiple memory cells, multiple auxiliary line pairs, a write driver circuit, a write assist circuit, and a select circuit. The memory cells are coupled to the word lines and the bit line pairs in such a manner that one memory cell is coupled to one word line and one bit line pair. The auxiliary line pairs run parallel to the bit line pairs in such a manner that one auxiliary line pair runs parallel to one bit line pair. The select circuit couples, to the write driver circuit, one bit line pair selected from the bit line pairs in accordance with a select signal, and couples, to the write assist circuit, an associated auxiliary line pair running parallel to the selected bit line pair.

    Abstract: Cell power supply lines are arranged for memory cell columns, and adjust impedances or voltage levels of the cell power supply lines according to the voltage levels of bit lines in the corresponding columns, respectively. In the data write operation, the cell power supply line is forced into a floating state according to the bit line potential on a selected column and has the voltage level changed, and a latching capability of a selected memory cell is reduced to write data fast. Even with a low power supply voltage, a static semiconductor memory device that can stably perform write and read of data is implemented.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device avoids the disturb problem and the collision between write and read operations in a DP-SRAM cell or a 2P-SRAM cell. The semiconductor device 1 includes a write word line WLA and a read word line WLB each coupled to memory cells 3. A read operation activates the read word line WLB corresponding to the selected memory cell 3. A write operation activates the write word line WLA corresponding to the selected memory cell 3. The selected write word line WLA is activated after activation of the selected read word line WLB in an operation cycle that performs both read and write operations.

    Abstract: In an image information chip or the like, a multi-port SRAM is embedded with a logic circuit. When the 3 port is used, the 1 port may serve as a differential write and readout port, and the 2 port may serve as a single ended readout dedicated port. While the occupied area of an embedded SRAM can be reduced, the number of write and readout ports is limited to only one, and readout characteristics as fast as differential readout cannot be expected in single ended readout. A new arrangement is therefore provided in which three differential write and readout ports are included in a memory cell structure of the embedded SRAM, an N-well region, for example, is arranged at the center of a cell, and a P-well region is arranged on both sides thereof.
