Patent number: 6519187Abstract: An internal address signal corresponding to data to be written into a memory cell is held in a latch circuit. The held internal address signal is selected by a multiplexer in the next writing operation and applied to a decoder. Write data is taken in and held by a latch circuit during the period in which data is not being read out from the memory cell array. A comparator compares the held internal address signal and an internal address signal for reading data. If a matching is found between them, the multiplexer outputs data from the latch circuit for externally output. Accordingly, delay of a writing operation following a reading operation can be eliminated without increasing chip cost, package cost, and system cost, as a result high speed operation of cache memories is achieved and the speed performance of computers of various levels such as supercomputer, large size calculators, work stations and personal computers can be improved.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2001Date of Patent: February 11, 2003Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Tomohisa Wada

Patent number: 6026036Abstract: In a synchronous semiconductor memory device, a predecoder is provided between a former stage address input register formed of first latch circuits and a latter stage address input register formed of second latch circuits. The first and second latch circuits operate in response to first and second internal clock signals complementary to each other.

Patent number: 5886934Abstract: A semiconductor memory device comprises first and second data buses. An output drive circuit adjusts the potentials at the first and second data buses in response to an internal read signal read from a memory cell. The gates of a PMOS transistor and an NMOS transistor forming an output stage corresponding to an output final stage are connected to ends of the first and second data buses, respectively. The potential of an output signal derived from the output stage loosely transits with a value decided by the capacitances of the first and second data buses. Thus, through rate control of the output signal can be implemented without reducing current drivability of the MOS transistors forming the output final stage.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 1997Date of Patent: March 23, 1999Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hideaki Nagaoka, Tomohisa Wada
