Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An internal voltage generation circuit including a drive control signal generator and an internal voltage driver. The drive control signal generator generates a drive control signal in response to an active pulse signal and a drive signal. The internal voltage driver, electrically coupled to the drive control signal generator, divides a level of an internal voltage signal in response to the drive control signal to generate a division voltage signal, compares a level of the division voltage signal with a level of a reference voltage signal to generate the drive signal, and drives the internal voltage signal in response to the drive signal.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An internal voltage generation circuit comprising: a pulse generator configured to generate an active pulse signal in response to an active signal which has been enabled from a period when an active command signal is inputted to the internal voltage generation circuit until a period when a pre-charge command signal is inputted to the internal voltage generation circuit; a drive control signal generator configured to generate a drive control signal in respo…
