Abstract: A noise elimination method is characterized in that when transmitting signals in the same direction on at least two distributed constant lines, a resistance of a terminating resistor at a far-end is set so that voltages propagated to the far-end become equal between two kinds of propagation modes on coupled distributed constant lines. The two kinds of propagation modes are a common mode which propagates with respect to a ground plane and a differential mode which propagates between the coupled lines.

Abstract: A power supply noise eliminating method eliminates power supply noise in a semiconductor integrated circuit having a plurality of first terminals coupled to a first power supply voltage and one or a plurality of second terminals coupled to a second power supply voltage which is different from the first power supply voltage. The power supply noise eliminating method includes the steps of (a) supplying the first power supply voltage to one of the first terminals, and (b) supplying the second power supply voltage to another one of the first terminals via an impedance circuit, thereby eliminating the power supply noise with respect to at least the first power supply voltage.

Abstract: A memory drive circuit includes at least one memory module constructed of a plurality of memory elements, a memory controller for driving said memory module, and a buffer, disposed between the memory module and the memory controller, for receiving a drive signal from the memory controller and transmitting the received drive signal to the memory module. Signal reflection noises produced in the memory module are absorbed by the buffer.

Abstract: A memory device having a memory element including a plurality of memory cells each designated by a row address signal and a column address signal, and a circuit for detecting a transition between the row address signal and the column address signal to thereby effect an equalize operation on the memory element. The supply of a row/column address signal including the row address signal and the column address signal to the memory element is cut off during a logical indeterminate period at the time of the transition. The row/column address signal immediately before its cutoff is held and the held signal is supplied to the memory element during the logical indeterminate period. Thus, a high-speed operation can be done by the equalize operation and the cutoff can provide the prevention of occurrence of a malfunction due to noise such as a glitch or the like.
