    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To preliminarily prevent any accident to change data due to the accumulated influence of disturbance in a memory area which rewriting dose not generate is prevented beforehand. SOLUTION: A memory device comprises an erasable and writable nonvolatile memory (2) and a control circuit (5). The control circuit is made possible to perform the replacing processing of a memory area in a predetermined timing. The replacing processing is performed by writing the stored data of a first memory area, which has relatively a fewer number of times of rewrite, in a second memory area which is not used and replaces the first memory area with the second memory area, where the data has been written, as a working area. Thus, a memory area which has a fewer number of times of rewrite is used as an object to be replaced with another memory area so that it is possible to preliminarily prevent any accident to change illegal data due to the accumulated influence of disturbance in a memory area which has no rewrite.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform rewriting control with a small number of circuits by storing the number of times of rewriting in a memory element analogically in a NAND type flash memory. SOLUTION: This memory is provided with a memory cell array 10 divided into a plurality of parts, and a rewriting number of times writing control circuit in which writing is performed for a cell transistor of the rewriting number of times storing region 10 allotted to a portion in non-selection arrays out of a plurality of memory cell arrays with a weaker electric field than that for normal writing, and the number of times of rewriting is stored by varying analogically a threshold of the cell transistor by the quantity of injection of electrons to a floating gate of the cell transistor.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To decrease the number of times of replacement of a memory and to improve the reliability, by splitting a non-volatile memory having a storage capacity of plural times of that of a system to each block and providing an exclusive location of the number of times of write for each unit block. CONSTITUTION:A storage area of an EEPROM having a capacity >=2 times the capacity requested to the system is splitted to blocks 1 and 2, and the direction of split is taken in the direction of word arrangement. Exclusive locations 3, 4 to store the number of times of program write to the corresponding memory are allocated to the blocks 1, 2 respectively, and the number of bits of each location corresponds to the limit value of the number of times of program write of the corresponding memory. When the number of times of program write of the block 1 reaches a specified value, the block is used switchingly. Whether or not the number of times of write reaches the specified value is discriminated with a count value stored to the locations 3, 4.
