Summary :

Circuit techniques for realizing fast cycle time of DRAM are described. 1) A high-speed and high-efficiency word-line level Vpp supply can be obtained by a unique static CMOS double-boosted level generator (SCDB) which controls the Vpp charge supply gate. 2) A new write-control scheme eliminates the timing overhead of a read access time after write cycle in a fast page mode operation. 3) A floor plan that minimizes the load of signal paths by employing the lead-on-chip (LOC) assembly technique. These techniques are implemented in an address-multiplexed 16 Mbit CMOS DRAM using a 0.5-µm CMOS technology. A 31-ns RAS cycle time and a 19-ns fast page mode cycle time at Vcc3.3 V, and also even at Vcc1.8 V, a 53-ns RAS cycle time and a 32-ns fast page mode cycle time were achieved. This DRAM is applicable to battery-operated computing tools.
