Summary :

This paper proposes a fully self-timing data-bus (FSD) architecture which includes a dual data-bus driven by the read-out data itself and a complementary output differential (COD) amplifier. The proposed COD amplifier achieves a high voltage gain and a high speed data transfer with low power consumption. The read-out data is transmitted from the COD amplifier to the output terminal without the timing control caused by the fluctuation of the device parameters. Therefore the proposed FSD architecture eliminates the timing delay and achieves a timing-free data transfer even in DRAMs with a small signal level at the sense amplifier and the data line. Applying this architecture to a 64-Mb DRAM, a fast column address access time of 16 ns and a RAS access time of 32 ns have been achieved.
