Description

Be used in the internal signal generator in the semiconductor storage
Technical field
The invention relates to a kind of semiconductor storage, and more specific be about a kind of internal signal generator that is used to reduce current drain in the semiconductor storage that is used in.
Background technology
Semiconductor storage receives outer array order after accomplishing immediately at input one activation command (active command) and in response to the operation of this activation command usually, for example external read order or external write order.Hereinafter, the delay between the input of the input of activation command and outer array order is called tRCD.Input is ordered a together address of input with outer array after tRCD.Yet,, also possibly set the input timing of outer array order such as the semiconductor storage of DDR2 SDRAM even before tRCD.The outer array order that semiconductor storage will be imported before tRCD keeps a schedule time, and generation is ordered corresponding to the inner array of this outer array order after the sequential of this activation command is gone through tRCD, for example internal read order or inner write order.The schedule time between the generation that the input of outer array order and inner array are ordered is called additional delay (AL).An external address of together importing with the outer array order also keeps additional delay (AL), and produces the home address corresponding to this external address subsequently.
Fig. 1 is the sequential chart of the read operation of semiconductor storage.
For carrying out read operation, after the input timing of external read order RD and external address EXT_ADDR is gone through additional delay AL, such as semiconductor storage generation internal read address RD_IADD and the internal read order IRD of DDR2 SDRAM.After a schedule time of internal read order IRD and internal read address RD_IADD generation, semiconductor storage begins to read valid data D0 to D3.Internal read is ordered the schedule time between the beginning of generation and read operation of IRD and home address RD_IADD be called column address strobe (CAS) time-delay CL.After the additional delay AL and CAS time-delay CL of the input timing of read command and address, semiconductor storage begins to carry out read operation.The value that obtains through CAS is delayed time CL and additional delay AL addition is called as read latch RL.
Fig. 2 is the sequential chart of the write operation of semiconductor storage.
Under the situation of write operation, semiconductor storage produces inner write order IWT and inner write address WT_IADD, and from the input timing of write order WT and external address EXT_ADDR write time-delay WL after carry out write operation.Write time-delay WL and lack a clock than read latch RL.That is WL=RL-1=(AL+CL)-1.
Fig. 3 is the calcspar of the convention internal signal generator of semiconductor storage.

Internal signal generator comprises reads address-generation unit 10, write address generation unit 20 and output unit 30.Read address-generation unit 10 and postpone external address EXT_ADDR, and output is corresponding to the internal read address RD_IADD of the additional delay of this semiconductor storage in response to clock signal clk.Write address generation unit 20 postpones internal read address RD_IADD in response to clock signal clk, and output is corresponding to the inside write address WT_IADD that writes time-delay of this semiconductor storage.Output unit 30 is selected one of internal read address RD_IADD and inner write address WT_IADD in response to writing status signal WTS, exports internal column address CA by this.Write status signal WTS and during write operation, be in state of activation.
Read address-generation unit 10 and comprise the additional delay delay cell 12 and first selected cell 14.Additional delay delay cell 12 produces a plurality of extra addresses through postponing external address EXT_ADDR in response to clock signal clk.First selected cell 14 is selected in the extra addresses extra address corresponding to the additional delay of semiconductor storage, and output should selected extra address as internal read address RD_IADD.Write address generation unit 20 comprises the CAS time-delay delay cell 22 and second selected cell 24.CAS time-delay delay cell 22 is through postponing internal read address RD_IADD in response to clock signal clk, to produce a plurality of CAS address.Second selected cell 24 is selected in the CAS addresses CAS address corresponding to the CAS time-delay of semiconductor storage, and output should selected CAS address as inner write address WT_IADD.
Additional delay delay cell 12 comprises a plurality of triggers that are one another in series and connect.CAS time-delay delay cell 22 also comprises a plurality of triggers that are one another in series and connect.The number of the trigger that comprises in additional delay delay cell 12 and the CAS time-delay delay cell 22 is corresponding to maximum additional delay and maximum CAS time-delay.When maximum additional delay is six clocks and maximum CAS time-delay when being seven clocks, an internal signal generator comprises 13 triggers.As previously discussed, because provide internal signal generator to be used for each of external address EXT_ADDR, read write command and thesaurus address, so need hundreds of triggers to be used for semiconductor storage.Therefore, a large amount of electric currents of semiconductor storage consumption, and the size of semiconductor storage increases.In addition, when additional delay that sets when semiconductor storage and CAS time-delay are different from maximum additional delay and maximum CAS time-delay, needn't make in additional delay delay cell 12 and the CAS time-delay delay cell 22 each included trigger all carry out latch operation.Yet each included trigger is all carried out latch operation in additional delay delay cell 12 and the CAS time-delay delay cell 22 under the situation of not considering additional delay and CAS time-delay.Therefore, the internal signal generator shown in Fig. 3 has caused unnecessary current drain.
