US 5,479,111 A · Signal transmitting device in a semiconductor apparatus

Abstract

In a signal transmitting device in a semiconductor apparatus, a second signal 29 and a third signal 40 are activated by the activation of a first signal 2 which is entered. More specifically, the third signal 40 is firstly activated, and the second signal 29 is then activated while the third signal 40 is being activated, and then the third signal 40 is inactivated. Further, a fourth signal 42 is activated by the activation of the second signal 29 or by the activation of the third signal 40. Accordingly, even though a noise removing circuit 80 or the like is disposed in a first signal transmitting circuit 70 for activating the second signal 29, the period of time required by the time the fourth signal 42 is activated, can be shortened. Thus, there can be obtained a semiconductor apparatus which is fast in access (speed at which a signal is transmitted to a subsequent stage) and which is resistant to noise.

Dependent claims

A signal transmitting device in a semiconductor apparatus in which a first signal as an input signal is entered, second and third signals are generated, and a fourth signal is supplied, comprising:

a first signal transmitting circuit which receives the first signal and activates the second signal by the activation of said first signal:
a second signal transmitting circuit which receives said first signal and activates the third signal by the activation of said first signal before said second signal is activated by said first signal transmitting circuit, and which maintains the activation of said third signal at least until said second signal is activated;
and
a third signal transmitting circuit which receives either said second signal or said third signal and activates the fourth signal while said second signal is being activated by said first signal transmitting circuit or while said third signal is being activated by said second signal transmitting circuit.
