Summary :

A crossing charge recycle refresh(CCRR) scheme and a serial charge recycle refresh(SCRR) scheme are proposed for the large capacity DRAMs with hierarchical bit-line architecture to reduce main bit-line charging current. A separated driver sense-amplifier(SDSA) circuit is essential to realize this scheme because it features 11 times shorter charge transfer period than that of conventional sense-amplifiers. These circuits are applied to an experimental 1-Gb DRAM, which achieves reduction of main bit-line charging current to 37.5%.
