  • Patent number: 8593859
    Abstract: When an operational mode is shifted to a standby mode, a first transistor is brought into a conduction state by a control signal, and a word line is thereby clamped to a ground voltage. Further, a second transistor is brought into a non-conduction state, and supply of an internal power supply voltage to a word line driver is shut off. Subsequently, the supply of the internal power supply voltage is halted for saving electrical power. When the operational mode returns to a normal mode, the supply of the internal power supply voltage is started, and subsequently, the first transistor is brought into the non-conduction state by the control signal, and the second transistor is thereby brought into the conduction state.

  • Patent number: 7826298
    Abstract: In an SRAM according to the present invention, an internal power supply voltage for a memory cell is applied to a back gate of each of P-channel MOS transistors included in an equalizer, a write driver, and a column select gate. Therefore, even if an internal power supply voltage for a peripheral circuit is shut off to reduce current consumption during standby, a threshold voltage of each of the P-channel MOS transistors is maintained at a high level, and hence a leakage current is small.

  • Publication number: 20090160819
    Abstract: The present invention is an inner touch panel in which a 1st and a 2nd planer member, each having an electrode disposed on one surface thereof, oppose each other with a fixed space therebetween. The electrodes face each other across the space, and a polarizing plate is stacked on the other surface of the 1st planer member. At least one of the 1st and the 2nd planer members is a film made of a siloxane crosslinking acrylic silicone resin. Here, in the case of having a thickness in the range of 0.1 mm and 0.4 mm, the film maintains, after heat treatment at 120° C. for 1000 hours, 96% or more of the visible light transmittance at a wavelength of 400 nm before the heat treatment.

  • Patent number: 7145832
    Abstract: A composite gate detects whether an internal array is in a selected state and an internal row activation signal is activated in accordance with a timing relationship between an output signal of the composite gate and an address transition detection signal. When the address transition detection signal is applied, the internal row activation signal is deactivated in accordance with generation timings of delayed restore period signal indicating whether the internal array is in a selected state and of the address transition detection signal to permit the next row access. With such a configuration, the next operation is allowed to start after an internal state is surely restored to an initial state. When the next address transition detection signal is applied during a period of a restoration operation, a column recovery operation, or a refreshing operation, data access is correctly performed without causing data destruction.
