POWER CONSUMPTION REDUCING CIRCUIT AND POWER CONSUMPTION REDUCING METHOD USED FOR THE CIRCUIT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a power consumption reducing circuit which can read out data from a memory cell continuously and at high rate with low power consumption.;SOLUTION: In cell arrays CA11-CA1n, CB11-CB1n belonging to the same row of (n) pieces of block A300, block B400 making a pair with two groups, when data of blocks of the cell arrays CA11-CA1n of one side is read out, data of blocks of the cell arrays CB11-CB1n are prepared by half. Operation of sense amplifiers of the cell arrays CA11-CA1n, CB11-CB1n at the time of read-out is divided.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2002,JPO
