Abstract
Abstract In a static-type semiconductor memory device, one word line (WL o , ---) and one pair of bit lines (BL o , BC o , ---) are selected by row address decoders, column address decoders, and the like upon the receipt of address information so as to select one memory cell (C oo , ---). The row address decoders are activated by a word-line driver clock signal (φ w ) of a word line driver (WD). The word-line driver clock signal (φ w ) is generated only during a predetermined time period after the change of address information, and, accordingly, the selection time period of the word line is small.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
271 words
A static-type semiconductor memory device comprising: first and second power supply terminals (V CC , V SS ); a plurality of word lines (WL 0 to WL n-1 ); a plurality of pairs of bit lines (BL 0 , BL 0 , ---); a plurality of load means (Q L0 , Q L0 ', ---), each connected to one of said bit lines and to said first power supply temrinal, for charging said bit lines; a plurality of static memory cells (C 00 , C 01 , ---) each connected to one of said word lines and to one pair of said bit lines; a row-addressing means (RB, RD) for selecting one of said word lines upon the receipt of row-address information; a column-addressing means (CB, CD) for selecting one of said bit line pairs upon the receipt of column-address information; a sense amplifier (SA) for amplifying the difference in potential between a pair of bit lines selected by said column-addressing means; an output buffer (OB), connected to the output of said sense amplifier, for maintaining and outputting a data output signal (D OUT ); a first clock signal-generating circuit (CK 1 ) for detecting the change of said row-address information and said column-address information and generating a first clock signal (CP1); a second clock signal-generating circuit (CK 2 ) for detecting the change of the potential of said word lines and generating a second clock signal (CP2); and a word driver (WD) for activating said row-addressing means, said word driver being set by the rise of said first clock signal and reset by the rise of said second clock signal.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
271 words
A static-type semiconductor memory device comprising: first and second power supply terminals (V CC , V SS ); a plurality of word lines (WL 0 to WL n-1 ); a plurality of pairs of bit lines (BL 0 , BL 0 , ---); a plurality of load means (Q L0 , Q L0 ', ---), each connected to one of said bit lines and to said first power supply temrinal, for charging said bit lines; a plurality of static memory cells (C 00 , C 01 , ---) each connected to one of said word lines and to one pair of said bit lines; a row-addressing means (RB, RD) for selecting one of said word lines upon the receipt of row-address information; a column-addressing means (CB, CD) for selecting one of said bit line pairs upon the receipt of column-address information; a sense amplifier (SA) for amplifying the difference in potential between a pair of bit lines selected by said column-addressing means; an output buffer (OB), connected to the output of said sense amplifier, for maintaining and outputting a data output signal (D OUT ); a first clock signal-generating circuit (CK 1 ) for detecting the change of said row-address information and said column-address information and generating a first clock signal (CP1); a second clock signal-generating circuit (CK 2 ) for detecting the change of the potential of said word lines and generating a second clock signal (CP2); and a word driver (WD) for activating said row-addressing means, said word driver being set by the rise of said first clock signal and reset by the rise of said second clock signal.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
45 words
A device according to claim 1, wherein said output buffer is controlled by said first clock signal, said output buffer generating a high potential signal upon the receipt of said first clock signal, which is high regardless of the output potential of said sense amplifier.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
52 words
A device according to claim 1 or 2, further comprising an inverter means (I 0 ), connected between the output of said second clock signal-generating circuit and said load means, for cutting off said load means upon the receipt of a low inverted signal (CP 2 ) of said second clock signal.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words
A device according to claim 1, 2 or 3, wherein said row-addressing means and said second clock signal--generating circuit are disposed opposite to each other and said word lines are disposed therebetween.
