  • Patent number: 6025978
    Abstract: A composite type thin-film magnetic head. In one embodiment, a substrate is used as a base, and an insulating film, a lower shielding magnetic film, a magneto-resistive element, an upper shielding magnetic film, a magnetic gap film, a recording inductive magnetic film and a protective layer are laminated on this base. An inductive head used for recording is formed by the upper shielding magnetic film. A magnetic gap film, a recording inductive magnetic film, and a magneto-resistive head used for playback are formed by the magneto-resistive element. The upper shielding magnetic film and recording inductive magnetic film are formed by an electroplating of permalloy.

  • Patent number: 5629902
    Abstract: In an asynchronous type memory device for controlling a plurality of bytes independently, even if the byte control signal changes in the write cycle, the automatic power-down can be released and further the data can be read after data have been written. When data are transferred from the input/output terminals I/OUBm and I/OLBn to the internal data buses DbusUB and DbusLB through the upper byte data input buffers DinUBm and the lower byte input buffers DinLBn, the change detecting sections UWTD and LWTD generate the write start synchronous pulse .phi.BWS and the write end synchronous pulse .phi.BWE on the basis of the logical result of the write request signal /WE and the control signal /UB or /LB. Therefore, when the data are written and read for each byte independently, data can be written in and read from the memory cells irrespective of the data conditions. Further, the written data can be read immediately without changing the addresses.

  • Patent number: 5544123
    Abstract: A plurality of voltage supply circuits each including an inverter circuit are provided at the final stage of a row decoder. The voltage supply circuits are supplied with voltage Vdd and voltage Vxx. The voltage Vxx is set at a level of Vss in a normal operation mode and at a level higher than that of Vdd in a burn-in test mode. In the latter mode, the voltage Vdd is applied to the voltage supply circuit connected to a selected word line, while the voltage Vxx (higher than Vdd) is applied to the voltage supply circuit connected to a nonselected word line. All word lines are therefore set at a high level and rendered in a selective state.

  • Patent number: 5524095
    Abstract: In a CMOS type static RAM, a substrate bias voltage VPP higher than a power supply voltage supplied from an outer unit is supplied to an N type substrate region of a PMOS transistor of a CMOS inverter forming a word line driving circuit to bias the N type substrate region to the bias voltage VPP and to a power supply terminal of the CMOS inverter as a power supply voltage. Whereby, resistance of storage data to incidence of radioactive rays is increased just after writing to a storage node of a memory cell is ended, and a soft error generation rate can be easily reduced.

  • Patent number: 5068831
    Abstract: In a data read circuit, for a semiconductor storage device, data of a memory cell (11) selected according to an address is inputted to a sense amplifier (22) via a pair of complementary first data lines (N1 to N6). The sense amplifier outputs the inputted and amplified data to a pair of complementary second data lines (N7, N8). First switching means (Tr3) equalizes the pair of complementary first data lines (N5, N6) at the input side of the sense amplifier (22) by making the first data lines conductive with respect to each other. Second switching means (Tr4) equalizes the pair of complementary second data lines (N7, N8) by making the second data lines conductive with respect to each other. Third switching means (Tr5, Tr6) equalizes by making the pair of first data lines (N5, N6) at the input side of the sense amplifier (22) and corresponding ones of the pair of second data lines (N7, N8) conductive with respect to each other. Second equalizing pulse generator means (42) generates a second equalizing pulse (.
