    摘要: A nonvolatile semiconductor memory device with high repair efficiency prevents over-erasing even if a memory cell is replaced in the word line direction. The nonvolatile semiconductor memory device includes the following: erasing bias circuits for erasing data in normal memory cell arrays and a redundancy memory cell array; erasing decode circuits for decoding defective address information; and redundancy control circuits connected in series so that a preceding stage controls the next in order to store defective address information based on an erasing decode signal and to switch the erasing bias circuits based on the defective address information. In erasing data, the redundancy control circuits switch the erasing bias circuits so as to inhibit the application of an erasing bias to word and source lines connected to control gates of the normal memory cell array that is replaced by the redundant memory cell array and also inhibit the erasing bias application to those connected to control gates of the unused redundant memory cell array.

    摘要: An apparatus for selecting redundant memory cells in integrated circuit memory devices. The apparatus includes eight memory cell blocks, each of which includes a plurality of memory cell groups, a redundant memory cell group of a first set and a redundant memory cell group of a second set; and eight selecting fuse circuit blocks. Four of the selecting fuse circuit blocks are coupled to the memory cell blocks and adapted to select a redundant word line group of the first set of any of the eight memory cell blocks, and the other four selecting fuse circuit blocks are coupled to the memory cell blocks and adapted to select a redundant word line group of the second set of any of the eight memory cell blocks.

    摘要: In a driver circuit for driving a pair of data lines, the amplitude of a differential input signal is reduced from 2.5 V to 0.6 V, which is smaller than a conventional lower-limit source voltage (approximately 1.5 V). The amplitude of the differential signal transmitted through the pair of data lines is amplified to 2.5 V by an amplifying circuit and the resulting signal is then latched by a latch circuit. After the latching by the latch circuit, the operation of the amplifying circuit is halted. The driver circuit is constituted solely by a plurality of NMOS transistors so as not to increase a leakage current flowing in the off state. Here, the threshold voltage of the NMOS transistor positioned on the ground side is reduced to a conventional lower-limit value (0.3 V to 0.6 V), while the threshold voltage of the NMOS transistor on the power-source side to a value lower than the above lower-limit value (0 V to 0.3 V), thereby enhancing a driving force of the NMOS transistor on the power-source side.

    摘要: A memory array divided into a plurality of sub-memory-arrays is disposed on a chip so that, if a specified sub-memory-array is selected by a sub-memory-array selecting circuit, a normal read/write operation is performed with respect to the sub-memory-array based on an address indicated by a group of external address signals. At the same time, a clock generator for self-refresh mounted on a chip generates a word-line basic clock for self-refresh and a word-line basic clock for refresh, thereby selecting the word lines in the sub-memory-arrays which have not been selected. Prior to a predetermined time at which the sub-memory-array subjected to a refresh operation is subsequently selected, a refresh halt signal is outputted so as to forcibly halt the refresh operation, thereby preventing insufficient recharging of a memory cell. Each of the plurality of sub-memory-arrays stores, of sequential sets of image data, data on one frame or one field.
