Patent number: 8717795Abstract: Disclosed herein is a device that includes first and second ports arranged in a first direction and first and second circuits arranged between the first and second ports. The first and second ports are coupled to the first and second circuits, respectively. The first and second circuits include first and second sub circuits that control an operation timing thereof based on a timing signal, respectively. The control signal is transmitted through a control line extending in a second direction. Distances between the control line and the first and second sub circuits in the first direction are the same as each other. A coordinate of the control line in the first direction is different from an intermediate coordinate between coordinates of the first and second ports in the first direction.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2012Date of Patent: May 6, 2014Assignee: Elpida Memory, Inc.Inventors: Hayato Oishi, Hisayuki Nagamine

Patent number: 7864618Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes a plurality of banks, each of which is constituted of a plurality of memory cell arrays that are aligned in series in the longitudinal direction, wherein each memory cell array includes a plurality of memory cells, and wherein memory cell arrays of banks are collectively aggregated into a plurality of blocks, each of which includes memory cell arrays aligned in the perpendicular direction, in connection with a plurality of DQ pads. DQ pads are arranged in proximity to blocks. Substantially the same distance is set between memory cells and DQ pads so as to reduce dispersions in access times with respect to all DQ pads, thus achieving high-speed access in the semiconductor memory device. The wiring region of IO lines is reduced in the center area of the chip.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2008Date of Patent: January 4, 2011Assignee: Elpida Memory, Inc.Inventors: Yoshiro Riho, Hayato Oishi, Yoshinori Haraguchi, Yoshinori Matsui
