Abstract: An equalizing circuit is connected between a pair of bit lines. The equalizing circuit is made up of three MOS transistors and an equalization control signal is supplied to the gates of the MOS transistors. A sense amplifier circuit is connected to the bit lines. The sense amplifier circuit amplifies the potential difference occurring between the bit lines, for the detection of data. The equalization control signal is output from a level conversion circuit. An internal boosted voltage-generating circuit constantly generates a boosted voltage which is higher than an externally-applied power supply voltage applied to a power supply terminal. The boosted voltage is applied to the level conversion circuit. The level conversion circuit converts an input control signal, whose high-level voltage is equal to, or lower than the externally-applied power supply voltage, into the boosted voltage, thereby generating the equalization control signal.

Abstract: A speech signal is input to an excitation signal generating section, a prediction filter and a prediction parameter calculator. The prediction parameter calculator calculates a predetermined number of prediction parameters (LPC parameter or reflection coefficient) by an autocorrelation method or covariance method, and supplies the acquired prediction parameters to a prediction parameter coder. The codes of the prediction parameters are sent to a decoder and a multiplexer. The decoder sends decoded values of the codes of the prediction parameters to the prediction filter and the excitation signal generating section. The prediction filter calculates a prediction residual signal, which is the difference between the input speech signal and the decoded prediction parameter, and sends it to the excitation signal generating section.
