摘要： A semiconductor device having a functional circuit block with predictive power controller is provided so as to construct a system LSI manufactured in a practicable number of design steps, which is extensible and in which power is reduced. The functional circuit block includes a prediction circuit and a predictive power shutdown circuit having a power status control circuit. The prediction circuit controls a power status of the functional circuit block by using the power status control circuit, based on input information thereto. When no information is inputted for a predetermined a period of time, the power status control circuit shifts from a power status of the functional circuit block to a low-power status.

摘要： The present invention provides a sense circuit for DRAM memory cell to cover the events that a sense time becomes remarkably longer when a power source voltage is lowered, a sense time under the low voltage condition becomes shorter when temperature rises and a sense time changes to a large extent for fluctuation of processes. The present invention provides the following typical effects. A switch means is provided between the bit line BL and local bit line LBL connected to the memory cells for isolation and coupling of these bit lines. The bit line BL is precharged to the voltage of VDL/2, while the local bit line LBL is precharged to the voltage of VDL. The VDL is the maximum amplitude voltage of the bit line BL. A sense amplifier SA comprises a first circuit including a differential MOS pair having the gate connected to the bit line BL and a second circuit connected to the local bit line LBL for full amplitude amplification and for holding the data. When the bit line BL and local bit line LBL are capacitance-coupled via a capacitor, it is recommended to use a latch type sense amplifier SA connected to the local bit line LBL.

摘要： A dynamic memory requires refreshing to retain data in its memory cells. This may cause access to the dynamic memory for purposes other than refreshing (external access) and access to it for refreshing to compete with each other, resulting in a performance deterioration. According to this invention, a pipelined dynamic memory (PDRAM) is used, and the pipeline frequency (CLK) of the pipelined dynamic memory is made higher than the frequency (CLK1) of external access, and access required for refreshing is made to an unoccupied slot (a timing when any external access request is never issued) in the pipeline of the pipelined dynamic memory. This makes refreshing of the internal dynamic memory an internal operation, which eliminates the need to take refreshing into consideration at the time external access is made, leading to improvement in operating ease and speed.

摘要： In an information processing apparatus involving a cache accessed by INDEX and TAG addresses, accesses to the main memory include many accesses attributable to the local character of referencing and write-back accesses attributable to the replacement of cache contents. Accordingly, high speed accessing requires efficient assignment of the two kinds of accesses to banks of the DRAM. In assigning request addresses from the CPU to different banks of the DRAM, bank addresses of the DRAM are generated by operation of the INDEX field and the TAG field so that local accesses whose INDEX varies and accesses at the time of writing back of which INDEX remains the same but TAG differs can be assigned to different banks, thereby enabling high speed accessing. Furthermore, as reading and writing at the time of writing back can be assigned to a separate bank, pseudo dual-port accessing is made possible with only one port, resulting in higher speed write-back accessing.
摘要翻译：在涉及由INDEX和TAG地址访问的高速缓冲存储器的信息处理装置中，对主存储器的访问包括归因于替代缓存内容的引用和回写访问的本地字符的许多访问。因此，高速存取需要对DRAM的存储体的两种访问进行有效的分配。在将请求地址从CPU分配给DRAM的不同库时，通过INDEX字段和TAG字段的操作来生成DRAM的存储区地址，以使其INDEX变化的本地访问在写入INDEX时被保留相同但是TAG不同可以分配给不同的存储体，从而实现高速存取。此外，由于在回写时的读写可以分配给单独的存储区，因此只能使用一个端口进行伪双端口访问，从而实现更高速的写回访问。

摘要： A semiconductor device having a first circuit block supplied with a first operating voltage, a second circuit block supplied with a second operating voltage, a voltage generating circuit for generating a third operating voltage in response to the first operating voltage, and a third circuit block supplied with the third operating voltage. Preferably, the third operating voltage is generated such that the first operating voltage is increased to a fourth operating voltage by a voltage-up converter, and then the fourth operating voltage is dropped to the third operating voltage by a voltage down-converter. Hence, a power supply operating internally stably in spite of use of a relatively fluctuating voltage can be provided even in the case where a power-supply voltage is dropped.

摘要： To enhance the speed of first access (read access different in word line from the previous access) to a multi-bank memory, multi-bank memory macro structures are used. Data are held in a sense amplifier for every memory bank. When access is hit to the held data, data latched by the sense amplifier are output to thereby enhance the speed of first access to the memory macro structures. Namely, each memory bank is made to function as a sense amplifier cache. To enhance the hit ratio of such a sense amplifier cache more greatly, an access controller self-prefetches the next address (an address to which a predetermined offset has been added) after access to a memory macro structure so that data in the self-prefetched address are preread by a sense amplifier in another memory bank.

摘要： A semiconductor device including a level converter (LSC) is disclosed. The level converter comprises a voltage-up circuit (LSC1) that operates on low voltage of power supply (VDD) and steps up voltage enough to drive the level converter and a level converter circuit (LSC2) that operates on high voltage of power supply (VDDQ). The voltage-up circuit is capable of constantly generating 2×VDD so that the level converter can convert a low voltage of power supply (VDD) below 1 V to VDDQ. This voltage-up circuit can be configured only with MOSFET transistors produced by thin oxide film deposition, thus enabling high-speed operation. To facilitate designing a circuit for preventing a leakage current from occurring in the level converter during sleep mode of a low-voltage-driven circuit (CB1), the level converter circuit (LSC2) includes a leak protection circuit (LPC) that exerts autonomous control for leak prevention, dispensing with external control signals.
