Patent number: 5864508Abstract: A random-access memory includes an array of rows and columns of memory cells. Word lines are associated with rows of memory cells, bit lines lines are with columns of memory cells. A row decoder and a core control circuit are connected to the word lines. A column decoder and a sense amplifier circuit are connected to the bit lines. An individual cell may be addressed by addressing an individual column through a column decoder controlling the voltage on each word line, and through a row decoder controlling the voltage on each word line in response to specified row and column addresses input via row and column address buffers. A booster circuit provides the row decoder with a boosted voltage as a word-line drive voltage. This voltage has been transmitted to a pre-decoder section in the core control circuit before the row address is acquired in the row decoder.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 1997Date of Patent: January 26, 1999Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Daisaburo Takashima, Yukihito Oowaki, Kenji Tsuchida, Masako Ohta

Patent number: 5499209Abstract: A word-line drive voltage generation circuit for use in a dynamic random-access memory is disclosed which is connected to a word line via a row decoder including MOS transistors. The circuit includes a charge-bootstrap capacitor having insulated electrodes, one of which is connected to a first reference voltage generator via a switching MOS transistor, and the other of which is connected via a MOS transistor to a second reference voltage generator. These voltage generators provide the capacitor with the constant d.c. voltage that are essentially insensitive to variation in the power supply voltage for the memory. The resultant word-line drive voltage may thus be free from variation in the power supply voltage during the operation modes of the memory. This enables the word-line voltage to be high enough to allow successful "H" level writing at a selected memory cell without creation of any unwantedly increased dielectric breakdown therein, in the entire allowable range of the power supply voltage.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 1995Date of Patent: March 12, 1996Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Yukihito Oowaki, Daisaburo Takashima, Masako Ohta
