Description
BACKGROUND OF THE
In general, a semiconductor integrated circuit such as a DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) is provided with a receiving device for receiving various signals from the memory controller. The receiving device is provided with an on die termination circuit to improve the signal integrity of the receiving circuit and the receiving circuit (SI).
A configuration example of a receiving apparatus according to the prior art is shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 1, the receiving apparatus of the semiconductor integrated
By selectively operating the
However, in the case of a semiconductor integrated circuit according to the related art, in particular, a semiconductor memory used for a mobile device, the signal preservation performance is deteriorated because the signal reception operation is performed while the on die termination circuit is turned off to reduce current, which is the most important performance index. There is a problem.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a receiving device of a semiconductor integrated circuit capable of improving signal integrity while minimizing current consumption.
A receiving device of a semiconductor integrated circuit according to the present invention includes a receiving circuit; And an on-die termination circuit configured to selectively implement a termination resistance of the receiving circuit among a first termination resistance value and a second termination resistance value in response to activation of at least one of an enable signal and a control signal. do.
A receiving device of a semiconductor integrated circuit according to the present invention includes a receiving circuit; And set the termination resistor of the receive circuit to a first termination resistor value in response to the activation of the enable signal and to set the termination resistor of the receive circuit to a second termination resistor value in response to the deactivation of the enable signal. Another feature is the provision of a die termination circuit.
Since the receiving device of the semiconductor integrated circuit according to the present invention can greatly increase the termination resistance value as necessary, it is possible to increase the signal integrity while suppressing the increase in the consumption current to improve the high-speed operation stability of the semiconductor integrated circuit.
Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of a reception device for a semiconductor integrated circuit according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in FIG. 2, a receiving device of a semiconductor integrated circuit according to the present invention includes a receiving circuit (RX) 110, a first on die termination circuit (ODT1) 120, and a second on die termination circuit (ODT2). 130 is provided.

The operation of the receiving apparatus of the semiconductor integrated circuit according to the present invention configured as described above is as follows.
The first enable signal enb1 and the second enable signal enb2 are activated at a low level, and the shift control signal shift is a signal activated at a high level. The first enable signal enb1, the second enable signal enb2, and the shift control signal shift may be in a state suitable for an operating condition using a mode register set (MRS) or an extended mode register set (EMRS). Can be programmed.
When the normal on die termination operation is performed, the first enable signal enb1 and the second enable signal enb2 are selectively activated to set a termination resistance value of 120Ω, 240Ω, or 80Ω. The shift control signal shift may be activated as needed when the second enable signal enb2 is deactivated. In this case, the termination resistance value may be set to 480 Ω.
For example, when the first enable signal enb1 is activated and the second enable signal enb2 is deactivated, the
The receiving
Meanwhile, when the on die termination operation is to be stopped, both the first enable signal enb1 and the second enable signal enb2 are deactivated. At this time, when the shift control signal (shift) is activated, the second on
That is, since the first enable signal enb1 is inactivated, all the transistors WP / 4 to WP * 8 of the
On the other hand, since the second enable signal enb2 is inactive and the shift control signal shift is activated, the
Since the shift control signal shift is activated, the
The
The receiving
On the other hand, it is also possible to set the termination resistance value to 96Ω when the first enable signal enb1 and the shift control signal shift are activated.
In the above-described embodiment of the present invention, in order to minimize current consumption, the termination resistance value is changed in an operation mode in which both of the first enable signal enb1 and the second enable signal enb2 are inactivated to stop the on die termination operation. By greatly increasing the current consumption is to suppress the maximum and improve the signal integrity performance. It can also be used to implement a wider variety of termination resistors, even in normal on-die termination mode of operation, as needed.
As described above, since the signal reception operation is performed in a state in which the termination resistance is greatly increased to 480 Ω according to the present invention, signal preservation performance can be improved in the state in which the increase in current consumption is suppressed as much as possible. Is shown. Referring to FIG. 7, it can be seen that the signal preservation performance is improved in the case of the present invention (b) as compared with the conventional technique (a) of performing the signal reception without using the on die termination function.
Hereinafter, a reception device of a semiconductor integrated circuit according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described.
Another embodiment of the present invention is configured to operate by varying the termination resistance value of the receiving
In another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 8, the configuration of the second on
The second on die termination circuit 130 'includes a code shifter 132' and a driver leg 134 ', as shown in FIG.
The
The
Since the
The termination resistance value of the driver leg 134 'is set to 240 Ω according to the output signal scode <0: 5> of the code shifter 132'.
On the other hand, when the on-die termination operation is stopped, the second enable signal enb2 is inactivated, so the
The termination resistance value of the driver leg 134 'is set to 480Ω in accordance with the output signal scode <0: 5> of the code shifter 132'.
As described above, another embodiment of the present invention uses the second enable signal enb2 as a signal for controlling the shifting operation of the code shifter 132 ', thereby activating the second enable signal enb2. Depending on whether or not normal on-die termination operation or the termination resistance value adjustment for improved signal integrity performance is automatically switched, the circuit configuration can be simplified compared to the previous embodiment.
