A semiconductor integrated circuit device constituted by a plurality of sets each of which having a pair of memory mats and each memory mat having a plurality of memory cells arranged in a matrix and a sense amplifier, I/O lines for transmitting signals provided by the sense amplifiers, selecting circuitry for selecting either a condition for sending out the signals provided by the sense amplifiers on the I/O lines or a condition for not sending out the same on the I/O lines, and Y-selection lines for transmitting the selection signals. A decoder connected with selection is disposed substantially at the middle of the Y-selection lines. X- and Y-address buffers are disposed close to each other nearer to the center of the chip than X- and Y-redundant circuits. A reference voltage generating circuit is disposed nearer to the edge of the chip than an output buffer circuit. A relief selecting circuit of each memory mat is formed adjacent to a redundant line selecting circuits included in the same memory mat. At least some of wiring lines connected to each sense amplifier are formed in a wiring layer in which Y-selection lines are formed. The Y-selection lines are extended in gaps between the sense amplifiers.

Semiconductor integrated circuit device

A temperature control apparatus for use in a refrigerating machine, wherein an a.c. control element and the solenoid coil of a holding type solenoid are connected in series in an a.c. power circuit, the holding type solenoid serving to actuate a damper for opening and closing the outlet for ejecting cooled air into the refrigerating chamber, and also a temperature sensor for detecting the temperature in the refrigerating chamber and a triggering circuit for triggering the a.c. control element are provided in the a.c. power circuit. The triggering circuit supplies a trigger signal to the control electrode of the a.c. control element at a predetermined period in synchronism with the phase of the current from the a.c. power source in response to the output of the temperature sensor, so that the solenoid coil is energized to drive the damper.

Temperature control apparatus for refrigerating machine

An automatic washing machine which automatically carries out the steps of washing, rinsing and dehydrating in accordance with a preselected program, comprises an indication means for indicating the occurrence of abnormal operation if it occurs in the steps of washing, rinsing and dehydrating, in such a manner that the indication mode differs from cause to cause of the occurrence of the abnormal operation.
