Abstract

Data-output holding characteristics of MOS dynamic RAM's with 2. 5 mu m design rules are studied by employing the hidden-RAS-only-refresh mode. It is verified that the noise voltage caused by internal circuit operation increases the subthreshold current and that the clamp circuitry effectively decreases the subthreshold current.
