Embodiment Construction

[0016] Exemplary embodiments will be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] figure 1 is a block diagram of one embodiment of a semiconductor memory device. The semiconductor device 1 includes a memory cell array 100 , a word line gate circuit 200 , a decoder 300 and a sense amplifier circuit 400 .

[0018] The memory cell array 100 may be variously implemented according to cell types. For example, a DRAM cell includes a capacitor coupled to a transistor for storing data. Transistors are used as switches. The SRAM cell includes two PMOS transistors and four NMOS transistors. In the memory cell array 100 there are a plurality of memory cells (DRAM, SRAM, etc.) arranged in a matrix and connected to word lines and bit lines.

[0019] The decoder 300 receives the address ADDR to select a word line, and then applies a word line voltage to the selected word line WL.

[0020] The word line gating circuit 200 is located between the memory cell ...

Abstract

We describe a semiconductor memory device including a memory cell array and a storage device to store access data. The memory cell array is accessed responsive to the access data. The memory cell array access is determined by the access data stored in the storage device. The memory cell array is accessed according to access data only if necessary, drastically reducing power dissipation.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to semiconductor devices, and more particularly to a semiconductor memory device including circuitry for storing access data. Background technique [0002] Semiconductor memory devices have been widely used as main memory in computers, cache memory and embedded memory in microprocessors. Semiconductor memory devices are classified into RAM (Random Access Memory) and ROM (Read Only Memory) devices. [0003] A RAM device is a memory device capable of storing write data and reading stored data. A RAM device is a volatile memory that does not retain stored data when the power is turned off. Typical examples of RAM devices are dynamic RAM (DRAM) and static RAM (SRAM). [0004] ROM devices can only read stored data. A ROM device is a non-volatile memory that retains stored data even when the power is turned off. ROM devices are divided into programmable ROMS (PROM) and one-time programmable ROMS (OT-PROM). PROM d...
