    摘要: The current paths of column selection transistors are inserted between a pair of input nodes, on the one hand, of a sense amplifier constituted by a current-mirror type differential amplifier, and column lines, on the other hand. The current paths of transistors for clamping column potential are inserted between the input nodes of the sense amplifier, on the one hand, and a power source, on the other. The gates of the transistors for clamping column potential are supplied with a bias potential lower than the potential of the power source. When data is read out from selected memory cells, the potential of the input nodes of the sense amplifier is clamped to a value lower than the potential Vcc of the power source by the transistors for clamping column potential. The storage data in the selected memory cells is input directly to the input nodes of the sense amplifier through the current paths of the column selection transistors.

    摘要: A voltage converter circuit has an input terminal for receiving an input binary signal and a gate for generating an output binary signal corresponding to the input binary signal. An output signal from the gate is supplied to a first input terminal of an inverter through a transistor and further to a second input terminal of the inverter directly, so as to immediately stabilize the output signal from the voltage converter circuit. The inverter inverts the input signal to a higher-voltage binary signal. When a voltage level of the higher-voltage binary signal reaches a given voltage level while the voltage level of the higher-voltage binary signal changes, a feedback circuit is operated to set the input signal supplied to the first input terminal of the inverter at a higher voltage.

    摘要: In a flash memory EEPROM, a memory cell MC is formed in a P-type semiconductor substrate. A peripheral transistor TR is formed in an N-type well. Another peripheral transistor TR is formed in a P-type well. The P-type well is by turn formed an N-type well and electrically insulated from the substrate. The substrate is typically provided with a metal back structure and its substrate voltage is set to predetermined voltages respectively for data erasure, data storage and data retrieval. With such an arrangement, the level of voltage stress with which the device is loaded during data erasure can be remarkably reduced to allow a down-sizing and an enhanced quality to be realized for the device.
