Description

Semiconductor storage and operation thereof with temperature-sensing device
Technical field
The present invention is about a kind of semiconductor storage; And more particularly, about having the semiconductor storage of temperature-sensing device.
Background technology
Semiconductor storage possesses a plurality of unit that are used to store data substantially, and wherein each unit comprises that one is used to switch the capacitor that transistor and with transmission charge is used for stored charge (that is, data).Term ' data storage ' mean in unit cell electric charge accumulates in the situation in the capacitor.Therefore, in principle might be under the situation of no any electric power consumption with data storage in unit cell.
PN junction and capacitor generation leakage current from MOS transistor are unfavorable.Along with advancing of time, the amount of the initial charge of being stored reduces and data can disappear.Therefore, in order to prevent loss of data, after reading the operation that is stored in the data in the unit, need come the unit is recharged with initial charge according to the data that read.
Preserve data in the unit cell that is stored in storer by periodically repeating to recharge operation.Recharge operation and be commonly called refresh operation.Refresh operation is controlled by dynamic RAM (DRAM) controller.For refresh operation, DRAM is consumption of electric power periodically.Because need low electric power consumption, be critical problem so in battery-operated system, how to reduce electric power consumption such as the mobile device that comprises notebook computer, PDA or cellular phone.
The device that need be used for the information of the temperature of sensing DRAM accurately and output institute sensing.As one of in the method that during refresh operation, reduces electric power consumption, carry out the cycle that changes refresh operation according to temperature usually.When temperature reduces, can refresh under the situation of operation in nothing and in DRAM, preserve data more of a specified duration.At first, judge a plurality of temperature ranges.Then, in temperature range, set the low frequency refresh pulse that is used to control refresh operation.Refresh clock is illustrated in the signal that enables in the refresh operation.Therefore, because refresh operation is at low temperatures carrying out than small frequency, so electric power consumption reduces.
Along with the integrated level or the operating speed increase of semiconductor storage, hotter semiconductor storage takes place.Heat increases the internal temperature of semiconductor storage, and influences normal running.Therefore, need be used for the temperature in the sensing DRAM accurately and the device of output institute sensitive information, that is, hot end instrument.
