  • Patent number: 6339560
    Abstract: A dynamic semiconductor memory device for writing/reading out data in/from a memory cell via a write/read circuit determined by a word line selected by a row address and a bit line selected by a column address, and temporally holding burst-written/read data by a data latch arranged on a data line connected to the write/read circuit includes an address transition detection circuit and a read-after-write circuit. The address transition detection circuit detects an address change to generate an operation start instruction signal, and starts a write/read cycle in accordance with the operation start instruction signal. The read-after-write circuit detects a change from a write mode to a read mode to generate a read-after-write instruction signal. When the read-after-write instruction signal is generated, data held by the write/read circuit is transferred to the data latch, and when the data is held by the data latch and read is done for the same row address, the data held by the data latch is read out and output.

    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device such as a DRAM device in which, in each write or read cycle, a plurality bits of data are written to or read from memory cells as a burst. The semiconductor memory device includes: a plurality of write/read circuits for reading data from selected memory cells to data lines and writing data from the data lines to selected memory cells; a column selector for distributing data from an input/output line to the data lines, and outputting data from the data lines to the input/output line; and a plurality of data latches inserted into data line circuit portions between the column selector and the write/read circuits, for temporarily storing data to be written to or read from the memory cells as a burst. In a write cycle, after data stored in the latches is written into memory cells and after elapsing a predetermined time period required for a precharge operation of the bit lines, the next write cycle is started.

  • Patent number: 6151237
    Abstract: In a dynamic type semiconductor memory device having a classified bit line structure, a feedback capacitor is provided between sub-bit lines and main bit lines of a sub-sense amplifier. A voltage difference read out on the sub-bit lines is transferred to the main bit lines, the read out voltage difference is amplified by a main sense amplifier, and data of superordinate bits is read out. At the same time, the data on said main bit lines is feed-backed to the sub-bit lines through the capacitor. Thereafter, a reading operation from the sub-bit lines to the main bit lines is performed again, thereby enabling a reading operation for data of subordinate bits. Thus, in a dynamic type semiconductor memory device having a conventional memory cell structure, data for two bits can be stored in one memory cell.

  • Patent number: 6130845
    Abstract: There is provided a dynamic type semiconductor memory device including (a) a first hierarchized complementary bit line, (b) a second hierarchized complementary bit line, (c) a first sense-amplifier electrically connected to the first bit line, (d) at least one second sense-amplifier electrically connected to both the first bit line and the second bit line, (e) a capacitor located between the first and second bit lines for each of second sense-amplifiers, and (f) a transfer gate arranged in series with the capacity between the first and second bit lines. The above-mentioned dynamic type semiconductor memory device makes it possible to store two-bit data in a single memory cell by employing a memory cell comprised of one transistor and one capacitor, without the use of a conventional memory cell having two transistors and one capacitor. Hence, the dynamic type semiconductor memory device ensures a significant reduction in a chip area.
