Abstract
A semiconductor device includes signal lines over which signals are transferred, and a drive circuit driving the signal lines in operating modes. The operating modes include a dynamic operation mode in which the signal lines are precharged, and a static operation mode in which the signal lines are not precharged.
Claims3
A semiconductor device comprising:
- signal lines over which signals are transferred;
- and
- a circuit precharging the signal lines and then driving the signal lines on the basis of signals to be transferred in a first operation mode, and driving the signal lines on the basis of signals to be transferred in the absence of precharging in a second mode.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
