Abstract

See full text

A macro generation method and a macro structural arrangement are provided for a VLSI semiconductor circuit device. A circuit macro is defined by a plurality of circuit blocks including at least one control block and an identified number of storage blocks. The control block includes a control section, a bit decoder section, a word decoder section and a work selector section. Each of the storage blocks includes a memory section, a bit selector section and a sense latch driver section. One of a plurality of stored predetermined bit decoders is selectively provided for the bit decoder section. A required number of storage blocks is identified responsive to the selected bit decoder for the selected number of bits per word. A required number of word selectors and memory array subsections is identified responsive to the selected bit decoder for the selected number of words.
