Abstract:
According to one aspect, a memory cell array includes a bit line connected to a plurality of nonvolatile memory cells, where the nonvolatile memory cells are selectively programmable in any one of at least first, second, third and fourth threshold voltage states, and where the first, second, third and fourth threshold voltage states correspond to four different data values defined by first and second bits. A page buffer circuit stores a logic value as main latch data and is responsive to a main latch signal to selectively flip the logic value of the main latch data according to a voltage level of the bit line. A sub-latch circuit stores a logic value as sub-latch data and is responsive to a sub-latch signal to selectively flip the logic value of the sub-latch data according to the voltage level of the bit line. The memory device is operable in a read mode which reads the threshold voltage state of the non-volatile memory cells and a programming mode which programs the threshold voltage state of the non-volatile memory cells, wherein the page buffer circuit is selectively responsive to the sub-latch data to inhibit flipping of the logic value of the main latch data in the programming mode.

Abstract:
Integrated circuit memory devices and operating methods map a plurality of memory cell blocks excluding defective memory cell blocks into a continuous address sequence of variable length. The memory cell blocks excluding the defective memory cell blocks, are preferably mapped to defective normal memory cell blocks, beginning at a highest memory cell block address and sequentially proceeding to lower cell block addresses, so as to generate continuous addresses for the memory cell blocks. Continuous address spaces may be provided by providing a plurality of flag blocks, a respective one of which corresponds to a respective one of the normal memory cell blocks. Each flag block contains a first indication that the corresponding normal memory cell block is nondefective, a second indication that the corresponding normal memory cell block is substituted with a redundant memory cell block, or a third indication that the corresponding normal memory cell block is substituted with another normal memory cell block. Then, upon addressing a normal memory cell block, a redundant memory cell block is substituted if the second indication is in the flag block that is associated with the selected normal memory cell block. A nondefective normal memory cell block is substituted for a selected normal cell block in response to the third indication being in the flag block that is associated with the selected normal memory cell block.
Abstract:
A redundant circuit for EEPROMs which is capable of replacing defective normal memory cells with redundant memory cells in a wafer state as well as in a packaged state. The nonvolatile semiconductor memory includes an array having normal row blocks and redundant row blocks. A normal row decoder selects one of the normal row blocks, and a normal row decoder disable circuit disables the normal row decoder in response to a redundant array selection command. A redundant row block selection circuit selects one of the redundant row blocks in response to the redundant array selection command and an external address. First and second redundant latch circuits are provided for storing programmed addresses corresponding to defective normal row blocks. The second redundant latch circuit is programmed when first redundant row blocks are defective, and is capable of being programmed in a package state. Thereafter, a redundant address overlap selection prevention circuit prevents both the first and second redundant row blocks from being selected when the defective normal row block address is specified, and enables only the second redundant row block to be selected instead.
