    摘要: A non-volatile semiconductor memory includes a memory cell array having a plurality of electrically-rewritable non-volatile memory cells. The memory cell array is provided with an initially-setting data area, programmed in which is initially-setting data for deciding memory operation requirements. The non-volatile semiconductor memory also includes an initial-set data latch. The initially-setting data of the memory cell array is read out and transferred to the data latch in an initially-setting operation.

    摘要: An EEPROM employs, as a scheme of detecting data of a memory cell in a memory cell array, a scheme of detecting the potential of a bit line potential sense node, which depends on the relationship in amplitude between the current for charging a bit line from a current source and the discharge current flowing to a selected cell using a sense amplifier. The sense amplifier is arranged in correspondence with one bit line and includes a constant current source transistor for charging the corresponding bit line, a latch circuit for latching memory cell data read out to the bit line potential sense node, and a switch transistor for turning on/off the charge path to the bit line based on data of the latch circuit. In the verify read mode, the cell current between the Vcc node and Vss node of a cell not to be written or a completely written cell can be turned off, so verification can be performed without flowing any unnecessary current.

    摘要: Systems and methods for circuits which can reduce the average frequency of a clock signal while keeping the maximum frequency of the clock signal are disclosed. Embodiments of these systems and methods may allow for a circuit which receives a clock signal and can output a clock signal with a frequency which is on average some ratio of the frequency of the received clock signal, but still has a maximum frequency which is substantially equal to the frequency of the received clock signal. In one mode of operation, these circuits may output a clock signal substantially identical to a received clock signal, while in another mode of operation these circuits may output a clock signal substantially identical to a received clock during a time interval, thus reducing the average frequency of the output clock signal with respect to the received clock signal while maintaining the maximum frequency of the received clock signal.
