Abstract(in English) This paper proposes a "Non-Precharged Bit-line Sensing" (NPBS) scheme in which data access is performed without precharging bit-lines. This realizes both an improvement of random access speed and a reduction of power dissipation. Also, we propose a power reduction scheme for the memory system named "Initial Same Data Write" (ISDW). A test chip using 0.28um CMOS process technology has achieved 30ns random access cycle time, and refresh power has been reduced by 55%.
