    摘要: A semiconductor device which has a sense amplifier and is supplied with an external power supply voltage includes a drive signal line connected to the sense amplifier, a step up circuit generating a first voltage from the external power supply voltage, the first voltage being higher than the external power supply voltage, and a step down circuit lowering the external power supply voltage into a second voltage. For enabling the sense amplifier to perform sensing operation in a normal mode involving external access, the first voltage is applied to the drive signal line in an initial stage of the sensing operation, and thereafter the second voltage is applied to the drive signal line. In a refresh mode not involving external access, the step up circuit is shut down, and the second voltage is applied to the drive signal line from the initial stage of the sensing operation.

    摘要: In a semiconductor device including a row-based control circuit applied with a current reduction circuit having a standby state and an active state, a refresh control circuit generates a refresh request signal every predetermined time interval on a self-refresh mode and time-sequentially generates an internal active signal at N times in connection with the refresh request signal once. The row-based control circuit time-sequentially refreshes information of memory cells on the based of the internal active signal at the N times. The refresh control circuit inactivates the row-based control circuit by making the current reduction circuit the standby state.

    摘要: In a SDRAM, there is introduced a control signal going active low following a passage of a predetermined period of time after a sense amplifier activation signal goes active high. When a signal going high during a burst period goes low and the control signal also goes low, a word line is dropped, non-selected low. As such, paired bit lines can have a potential difference sufficiently amplified to allow data to be satisfactorily rewritten into a memory cell.

    摘要: An internal power supply circuit produces an internal power supply voltage from an external power supply voltage. A voltage level control circuit controls a voltage level and a temperature characteristic of the internal power supply voltage generated by the internal power supply circuit. The internal power supply circuit produces the internal power supply voltage having a negative or zero temperature characteristic in a low temperature region and a positive temperature characteristic in a high temperature region. The voltage level control circuit includes a structure optimizing a capacitance value of a sense power supply line stabilizing capacitance for driving a sense amplifier circuit, a level converting circuit determining the lowest operable region of the external power supply voltage of the internal power supply circuit, or a structure forcedly operating the internal voltage down converter upon power-on. The internal power supply voltage at a desired level is stably produced with a small occupied area and a low current consumption.
