Abstract: The invention provides a voltage-generating circuit with a simple configuration capable of saving space and generating reliable voltage. The voltage-generating circuit of the invention includes a reference voltage-generating unit, a PTAT voltage-generating unit, a comparison unit, and a selection unit. The reference voltage-generating unit generates a reference voltage essentially without dependency on temperature. The PTAT voltage-generating unit generates a temperature-dependent voltage with a positive or negative dependency on temperature. The temperature-dependent voltage is equal to the reference voltage at a target temperature. The comparison unit compares the reference voltage with the temperature-dependent voltage. The selection unit selects and outputs either the reference voltage or the temperature-dependent voltage.

Abstract: The invention provides a clamp voltage generating circuit capable of generating a correct clamp voltage. The clamp voltage generating circuit includes an emulate transistor, having a drain coupled to a power source VDD, a source coupled to a node, and a gate coupled to the clamp voltage; a current setting circuit, connected between the node and ground, for setting a current flowing from the node to the ground; a regulator, inputting a feedback voltage from the node and a reference voltage, and outputting a voltage VCLMP. The current setting circuit duplicates a current of a bit line, so that the emulate transistor is similar to a charge transfer transistor.

Abstract: A semiconductor memory device is provided. The semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell array, a read only memory (ROM), a central processing unit, and a random access memory (RAM). The memory cell array stores data related to operating conditions of the semiconductor memory device. The ROM stores data used to control an operation of the semiconductor memory device. The central processing unit controls the operation of the semiconductor memory device according to the data read from the ROM. The central processing unit reads the data related to the operating conditions from the memory cell array in response to a requested operation and then temporarily stores the read data related to the operating conditions in the RAM.

Abstract: A semiconductor memory device which is capable of high-speed operation in synchronization with external control signals is provided. The semiconductor memory device has a data input portion, a memory array, a data output portion, and a control portion. The data input portion receives command and address input data in response to the external control signals. The memory array has a plurality of memory elements. The data output portion outputs data read from the memory array in response to the external control signals. The control portion has the function of delay-compensation. During the time interval for receiving the input data, the function of delay-compensation estimates the delay time of the internal circuits, stores the estimated delay-time in a memory unit, and adjusts the output timing of the data output portion.

Abstract: A charge pump circuit that suppresses low boost efficiency is provided. The charge pump circuit 100 of the invention includes a main pump circuit CPn_M and a gate controlling pump circuit CPn_G controlling the main pump circuit CPn_M. The main pump circuit has the same basic configuration as the controlling pump circuit, which are both KER-type pump circuits. The controlling pump circuit controls the operation of a transistor of the main pump circuit after the main pump circuit is boosted, so that reverse current will not flow from the main pump circuit to the forward section of the pump circuit.

Abstract: A semiconductor memory device which is able to perform a power sequence with high reliability is provided. When a power from an external device is supplied, the controller of the flash memory of the invention is configured to read codes stored in a read-only memory in synchronization with a clock signal to perform a power-on sequence. In addition, the controller is further configured to deactivate the clock signal so as to pause the power-on sequence when it has been detected during the power-on sequence that the voltage of the power is not greater than a threshold, and to activate the clock signal to resume the power-on sequence when it is detected that the voltage of the supplied power exceeds the threshold again.
