Compared with the existing technology, the invention has the advantages that:The present invention is internal in traditional DRAM products to be supplied In the design basis of piezoelectric voltage module, additional one mode of adding controls gating circuit so that dram chip is in normal operating mould Under formula, scheduled internal supply voltage is still used;And in a power saving mode, the internal supply voltage reduced using one, To achieve the purpose that reduce the quiescent dissipation under DRAM energy-saving modes.
【Description of the drawings】
Fig. 1 is a kind of structural schematic diagram reducing the circuit of quiescent dissipation under DRAM energy-saving modes of the present invention.
【Specific implementation mode】
Refering to Figure 1, a kind of circuit reducing quiescent dissipation under DRAM energy-saving modes of the present invention, including it is traditional Internal DRAM supply voltage generator (left sides Fig. 1 box inside points) and mode control circuit (on the right of Fig. 1).Mode control circuit Including switch S1, switch S2, PMOS tube PMOS2 and whole control circuit.The output end of internal DRAM supply voltage generator It is divided into two-way, all the way by switch S1 connection internal DRAM supply voltage networks, another way passes through concatenated switch S2 and PMOS Pipe connects internal DRAM supply voltage network.The input of whole control circuit be external command signal, according to input external command, Judge whether dram chip is in energy-saving mode, and the corresponding generation energy-saving mode control letter when dram chip is in energy-saving mode Number and generate non-energy-saving mode control signal in non-energy-saving mode.Static work(under a kind of reduction DRAM energy-saving modes of the present invention The method of consumption, when energy-saving mode control signal is high, switch S2 conductings, internal supply voltage vint_int passes through one PMOS2 is managed, and voltage is sent to internal supply voltage Vint after reducing a threshold voltage (300~400mv), gives internal DRAM institute Some logic module power supplies.In such a mode, since voltage value reduces 300~400mv, all logic modules it is quiet State power consumption greatly reduces, and thus reduces the quiescent dissipation under DRAM energy-saving modes.When non-energy-saving mode control signal is high, Switch S1 conductings, the voltage of internal voltage generator output are fed directly to internal supply voltage network, the various behaviour of dram chip It is normally carried out.
