    摘要: A nonvolatile semiconductor memory device capable of realizing optimized erasing operation in a memory array configuration in which a plurality of pages correspond to and are connected to each of a plurality of word lines and higher speed of the erasing operation. In a flash memory, the erasing operation is performed by an erasing method of erasing a plurality of pages arbitrarily selected in a lump. In a two-page erasing mode, page erasure, page pre-erasure verification, page rewriting process, page pre-rewriting verification, and page upper end determining process are performed in order. The method realizes, particularly, (1) suppression of the number of erase verification times to the minimum by performing erase verification only on arbitrary one even-numbered or odd-numbered page in the pages to be erased in consideration of variations in the erasing characteristic, and (2) prevention of erroneous determination of the upper end of erasure since it is unnecessary to set a memory cell to be rewritten every rewrite verification by continuously executing the rewriting process page by page.

    摘要: This is a nonvolatile semiconductor memory device capable of raising the speed of write operation of Y access circuits in a 1×sense latch circuit+2×SRAM configuration. In a multi-value flash memory, in a mode of writing from the lower voltage side, writing and erratic determination are performed after data are transferred from SRAMs to a sense latch circuit for “10” and “00” distributions; after the data transfer for “01” distribution, writing is done; after the data transfer for “11” distribution word disturb determination is done; and simplified upper limit determination is done in this sequence. In particular by (1) writing from the lower voltage side of the threshold voltage distribution in the multi-value memory and (2) consecutive application of “write processing” and “upper limit determination processing” to each threshold voltage distribution, after the end of write processing for “10” and “00” distribution, since the threshold voltages of all the memory cells are lower than the upper limit determination voltages of the “10” and “00” distributions, no transfer of write data is needed in upper limit determination processing because other threshold voltage distributions are not masked.

    摘要: Externally supplied program data is latched into data latch circuits DLL and DLR. A judgment is made as to whether or not the latched program data corresponds to any threshold value of multi-levels every time each of plural programing operations is carried out. The program control information corresponding to the judgment result is latched into a sense latch circuit SL. Based upon the latched program control information, the programing operation for setting threshold voltages having multi-levels to a memory cell is carried out in a stepwise manner. Even when the programing operation is ended, the externally supplied program data is left in the data latch circuit. Even when the programing operation of the memory cell is retried due to the overprograming condition, the program data is no longer required to be again received from the external device.

    摘要: A non-volatile memory system is provided with a control device and non-volatile memory devices, each including memory cells and data latches. The control device supplies commands to the non-volatile memory devices, including a write command, and first and second read commands. When the control device supplies the write command with write address information and data for storing in the non-volatile memory device, it stores the data to the data latches and then to the memory cells, and then verifies storage. When the control device supplies the first read command with read address information, the nonvolatile memory device reads data stored in the memory cells to the data latches and then outputs the data in the data latches to the control device. When the control device supplies the second read command, the non-volatile memory device outputs data in the data latches to the control device.
