  • Patent number: 5614860
    Abstract: A voltage-controlled filter circuit has a cutoff frequency directly proportional to a ratio of two current values. The filter circuit comprises a variable conductance circuit having two bipolar junction input transistors supplied with an input voltage signal at the bases thereof and a first variable current source at each emitter thereof. The collectors supply the bases of a pair of differential transistors. A second variable current supply is coupled to common emitters of the pair of differential transistors. Externally supplied control signals set the two current values of the variable current sources. The filter circuit may be manufactured as a semiconductor integrated circuit device for signal processing for use in processing a recorded signal read from a recording medium. The recorded signal is supplied to a semiconductor integrated circuit for signal processing to remove unwanted signal and noise components.

  • Patent number: 5285168
    Abstract: An operational amplifier is equipped at its input stage with a folded cascode type differential amplifier and at its downstream stage with pre-buffers, which include a differential amplification stage of PMOS input and a differential amplification stage of NMOS input, as level shifters. A MOS resistor having its gate terminal fed with an intermediate bias potential between a supply voltage V.sub.DD and an earth potential is connected between every one of the drain terminals of current-mirror connected load MOSFETs in the pre-buffers. As a result, the gains of the pre-buffers in the steady state can be suppressed to about 10 dB or less. The individual MOSFETs of the push-pull output stage are individually driven by the pre-buffers of low gains.

  • Patent number: 5068828
    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device having a plurality of memory arrays in which static memory cells are disposed in a lattice arrangement at intersections of word lines and complementary data lines. The load circuits thereof are characterized as having a varying impedance effected by the combination of a first pair of P-channel MOSFETs disposed between the complementary data lines and a first node supplied with a first supply voltage and kept normally in an ON-state, and a pair of transistors, such as a second pair of P-channel MOSFETs, similarly connected as the first pair of P-channel MOSFETs and which are turned off selectively in accordance with a control signal corresponding to a predetermined selection timing signal in a write-in mode. The semiconductor memory device has a plurality of switching circuits which are coupled between the plurality of complementary data lines and a pair of data read and write lines.

  • Patent number: 4961164
    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device is provided which includes a plurality of memory arrays each including main word lines, sub word lines to which a plurality of memory cells are connected, and a decoder which selectively connects the sub word lines to the main word lines. The main word lines are relatively short, since they are isolated electrically between memory arrays, and their resistance can thus be relatively low. The main word lines are not directly connected with a plurality of memory cells, and this results in a smaller capacitance coupled to the main word lines than is customarily the case. Consequently, the semiconductor memory device can have an enhanced operating speed.
