The capacitance-resistance (CR) delay circuit technology assures full asynchronicity between memory cell array and peripheral circuits over a wide range of both operating and process conditions and thus realizes a fast access time. A noise compensation scheme is used to generate a constant delay even under the power supply line noise. The circuit was applied to a 4 Mbit dynamic RAM (DRAM) peripheral circuit. As a result, timing loss as well as malfunction could be successfully avoided, and 7 ns faster access time and 39 ns shorter cycle time, compared with a conventional design using normal inverter chains, have been achieved. >

The design of a voltage-mode digital-to-analog (D/A) converter using only fabrication steps required by MOSFETs is described. The converter is implemented using a basic-circuit-building block called the three-input amplifier (TIAMP), which can perform voltage addition and voltage division by 2 without using any passive component. The technique has been used to implement a 12 bit D/A converter for which five samples were tested with accuracies ranging from 6 to 10 bits. Accuracy is limited in the present design by the relatively small sizes chosen for the input transistors. The maximum conversion rate of the present prototypes has been measured to be approximately 1 MHz with a static power dissipation of 50 mW. >

A variable-gain amplifier (VGA) with a gain range of 50 dB has been implemented in a standard 3 mu m CMOS process using parasitic lateral and vertical bipolar transistors to form the core of the circuit. The bipolar transistors had been characterized extensively. The VGA has a bandwidth larger than 3 MHz over the whole gain range and operates on a single 5 V power supply. The active area is about 0.8*0.9 mm/sup 2/. >

A DPCM video codec for two-dimensional prediction with adaptive quantizer is presented. The necessary line buffer is realized on chip. Transmitter or receiver mode, application as part of a 3D interframe codec, and processing of luminance or chrominance signals are optional. Correct operation has been verified up to 26 MHz.

The memory organization is partitioned into four 64k matrices. The power to the submicron CMOS memory cells is supplied by an on-chip switching voltage regulator. The 3.9V matrix supply protects the memory cells against hot carrier stress and ensures high cell noise margins'. In the 5V periphery, 1 . 3 ~ NMOS cascode devices were integrated'. Each matrix is organized in 128 rows by 512 columns and is further divided into 16 blocks of 32 columns, utilizing a divided word line structure3. A common read/write block area with local sense amplifiers and write drivers is shared between each pair of matrices. A matrix global Y-select signal enables one of eight columns and precharges the remaining unselected columns to the matrix voltage (VDI).
