前記制御回路は、前記センスアンプを活性化させてビット線対の電位を増幅した後に、アクティブスタンバイ期間に、前記ビット線対間の電位差を増幅した状態で前記トランスファゲートにより前記センスアンプ内のビット線対と前記メモリセルアレイ内のビット線対とを切断し前記メモリセルアレイ内のビット線対でデータを保持させつつ、前記センスアンプを非活性化することを特徴とする半導体記憶装置。 - 前記メモリ素子の選択終了に際して、前記制御回路は、前記トランスファゲートにより前記センスアンプ内のビット線対と前記メモリセルアレイ内のビット線対とを接続し、前記センスアンプを活性化させて前記ビット線対の電位を再増幅し、前記ビット線対を介して前記メモリ素子に記憶データを書き込む、請求項1に記載の半導体記憶装置。
- 前記センスアンプの活性化開始後、所定時間以内にリード、ライト、又は、プリチャージコマンドが入力されないと、前記制御回路は、前記トランスファゲートにより前記センスアンプ内のビット線対と前記メモリセルアレイ内のビット線対とを切断し、前記センスアンプを非活性化する、請求項1又は2に記載の半導体記憶装置。
- 前記センスアンプの非活性化後、前記センスアンプ内のビット線対が、所定のレベルにプリチャージされる、請求項1〜3の何れか一に記載の半導体記憶装置。
- 前記所定のレベルが、メモリセルアレイ内の内部降圧電圧の2分の1である、請求項4に記載の半導体記憶装置。
- 前記所定のレベルが、メモリセルアレイ内の内部降圧電圧である、請求項4に記載の半導体記憶装置。
- 前記センスアンプの非活性化後は、前記メモリセルアレイ内のビット線対で、前記記憶データを保持する、請求項1〜6の何れか一に記載の半導体記憶装置。
- 前記センスアンプの非活性化後、リード、ライト、又は、プリチャージコマンドが入力されると、前記制御回路は、前記トランスファゲートにより前記センスアンプ内のビット線対と前記メモリセルアレイ内のビット線対とを接続し、前記センスアンプを再活性化する、請求項7に記載の半導体記憶装置。
- 前記センスアンプの再活性化後、所定時間以内にリード、ライト、又は、プリチャージコマンドが入力されないと、前記制御回路は、前記トランスファゲートにより前記センスアンプ内のビット線対と前記メモリセルアレイ内のビット線対とを切断し、前記センスアンプを非活性化する、請求項8に記載の半導体記憶装置。
