    摘要: A NAND cell unit includes a plurality of memory cells which are connected in series. An erase operation is effected on all memory cells. Then, a soft-program voltage, which is opposite in polarity to the erase voltage applied in the erase operation, is applied to all memory cells, thereby setting all memory cells out of an over-erased state. Thereafter, a program voltage of 20V is applied to the control gate of any selected one of the memory cells, 0V is applied to the control gates of the two memory cells provided adjacent to the selected memory cell, and 11V is applied to the control gates of the remaining memory cells. Data is thereby programmed into the selected memory cell. The time for which the program voltage is applied to the selected memory cell is adjusted in accordance with the data to be programmed into the selected memory cell. Hence, data “0” can be correctly programmed into the selected memory cell, multi-value data can be read from any selected memory cell at high speed.

    摘要: A system includes a nonvolatile semiconductor memory and an electronic device which includes the nonvolatile semiconductor memory. The nonvolatile semiconductor memory selects a first operation mode while the nonvolatile semiconductor memory is connected to a first capacitor having a first capacity, and the nonvolatile semiconductor memory selects a second operation mode while the nonvolatile semiconductor memory is connected to a second capacitor having a second capacity higher than a first capacity. The nonvolatile semiconductor memory operates in the selected one of the first and second operation modes. The first operation mode is a mode in which a peak of current consumption takes a first value, and a second operation mode is a mode in which a peak of current consumption takes a second value lower than the first value.

    摘要: A level shifter circuit comprises a first output MIS transistor of a first conductivity, and a second output MIS transistor of a second conductivity type having a second threshold voltage. The former has a first threshold voltage, wherein the output voltage is positively fed back to a gate terminal and the power supply voltage is applied to a first terminal to generate a first voltage at a second terminal. In the latter, the first voltage is applied to a first terminal and a second voltage is applied to a gate terminal to control conduction to generate the output voltage at a second terminal. The first and second charge type MIS transistors and the discharge MIS transistor are connected between the first terminal and gate terminal of the second output MIS transistor to charge or discharge the potential of the gate terminal of the second output MIS transistor.

    摘要: A non-volatile semiconductor device has a memory cell array having electrically erasable programmable non-volatile memory cells, reprogramming and retrieval circuits that temporarily store data to be programmed in the memory cell array and sense data retrieved from the memory cell array. Each reprogramming and retrieval circuit has a first latch and a second latch that are selectively connected to the memory cell array and transfer data each other. A controller controls the reprogramming and retrieval circuits on data-reprogramming operation to and data-retrieval operation from the memory cell array. Each reprogramming and retrieval circuit has a multilevel logical operation mode and a caching operation mode. In the multilevel logical operation mode, re-programming and retrieval of upper and lower bits of two-bit four-level data is performed using the first and the second latches in storing the two-bit four-level data in one of the memory cells in a predetermined threshold level range. In the caching operation mode, data transfer between one of the memory cells selected in accordance with a first address and the first latch is performed while data transfer is performed between the second latch and input/output terminals in accordance with a second address with respect to one-bit two-level data to be stored in one of the memory cells.
