Abstract
A synchronous semiconductor memory device, comprising: burst signal generation means for generating a burst signal for controlling generation of an internal column strobe signal; burst generation control means for controlling generation of the burst signal; burst length stop signal generation means for generating a burst length stop signal for controlling a length of the burst signal to the burst signal generation means; and internal column strobe generation means for directly receiving output signals of a buffer command which are not decoded to generate an interrupt in the middle of the burst signal and generating the internal column strobe signal by the burst signal.
Claims6
A circuit for generating internal column strobe signal in a synchronous semiconductor memory device, comprising:
- a clock buffer part for buffering an external clock signal to generate a first internal clock signal;
- an internal clock generation part for receiving the first internal clock signal to generate a second internal clock signal;
- a command decoder part for periodically generating an external column strobe enable signal synchronized to the second internal clock signal by a chip select bar signal, a row address strobe bar signal, a column address strobe bar signal and a write enable bar signal;
- a burst signal generation part for a burst signal generated by the external column strobe enable signal and disabled by a burst length stop signal;
- and
- an internal column strobe generation part being controlled by the chip select bar signal, the row address bar signal, the column address bar signal, and the write enable bar signal, for generating an internal column strobe signal synchronized to the second internal clock signal inputted after the burst signal is enabled, and for stopping the generation of the internal column strobe signal by the disablement of the burst signal.
