SEMICONDUCTOR MEMORY DEVICE CONTROLLABLE CURRENT SPENDING

摘要

The device consists of a decoder which decodes given incoming addresses, a driver which puts a output signal from the decoder into an input node, and amplifies that signal to drive memory cell, a wordline driver which is inserted between a driver and a decoder and consists of discharge elements to discharge a voltage applied to the input nodes of the driver when the memory cell is unselected, and a capacitor which is inserted between the input nodes of the driver and a ground to restrain the voltage going up when the memory cell is unselected.
