摘要:
A voltage detection circuit for accurately detecting a voltage while suppressing the voltage fluctuation due to the off-leak current of a transistor. The voltage detection circuit includes first and second capacitors, first and second transistors, a comparator, and a control circuit. The capacitors are connected in series to generate a division voltage corresponding to a high voltage by the capacitors. The potential at a node between the first capacitor and the second capacitor is reset to ground potential when the transistors are activated. When the potential at the node reaches a predetermined potential, the first transistor is inactivated, and then the second transistor is inactivated.

There is provided an oscillator circuit capable of obtaining stable frequency by avoiding output having unstable frequency that is likely to occur to an operation/stop-control-feasible type oscillator circuit when oscillation begins. In such an oscillator circuit, an oscillation permitting signal (EN) sets an oscillator section in oscillation-operable state, whereby a controller section starts operation. The controller section that has stared its operation change an oscillation- frequency control signal (VR) into a signal value corresponding to predetermined oscillation frequency so as to set oscillation frequency at an oscillator section. Further on, the oscillator section outputs an oscillation signal in response to a detection signal (MON) that is outputted after a detector section compares a signal inputted therein with a predetermined signal value and detects that the inputted signal reaches a predetermined signal value. Thereby, transient state of an oscillation-frequency control signal (VR) can be detected. That is, there can be avoided an output of an unstable oscillation signal due to a transient oscillation-frequency control signal (VR).

During an erasing sequence, after a preprogram operation (S1), an erasing operation (S3), and an APDE operation (S5) are executed and confirmation by an APDE verify operation (S6: P) and confirmation by an erase-verify operation (S7: P) are completed, step A is executed prior to a soft-program operation (S10) of a plurality of memory cells. A dummy memory cell program operation (S8) is continuously executed until a completion of a program operation is confirmed by a dummy memory cell program verify operation (S9). By execution of the program operation on the dummy memory cells, a voltage stress similar to that of a program operation is applied to memory cells in an over-erased state via bit lines. Thereby, the over-erased state is reduced thereby lowering a column leak current. Erroneous recognition during a soft-program verify operation (S11) can be prevented, and excessive soft-programming can be avoided.

A memory device, such as a DRAM, includes multiple cell blocks, each having bit lines and word lines. Block control circuits are connected to respective ones of the cell blocks. The block control circuits supply a precharge signals to their associated cell blocks. A block control circuit which is connected to a defective cell block generates a precharge signal having a precharge level of the bit lines and a reset level of the word lines in accordance with an access condition of the defective cell block. The block control circuit sets the precharge signal to the precharge level when the defective cell block is activated and to the reset level when it is deactivated.

A compact power supply circuit which can supply power to various apparatuses and circuits with a high degree of stability. A primary constant voltage circuit is connected to a second power supply line, which is supplied with power from a battery only when a relay is closed. The circuit supplies power to a third power supply line at a constant primary voltage. An auxiliary constant voltage circuit is connected to a first power supply line, which is always supplied with power from the battery for supplying power to the third power supply line at a constant auxiliary voltage lower than the primary voltage. A halt control circuit enables the operation of the auxiliary constant voltage circuit if power is supplied to the second power supply line and disables the operation of the auxiliary constant voltage circuit if the supply of power is interrupted for a period equal to or longer than a predetermined allowable time. The supply of power to the third power supply line is continued by the auxiliary constant voltage circuit if the temporary interruption of the supply of power to the second power supply line is within the allowable time.

A refresh method for a semiconductor memory device features high noise resistance, lower power consumption, and lower cost. All word lines of one or more memory cell blocks that have not been selected in a self refresh mode are controlled to have a floating potential substantially at ground level. Even when a word line and a bit line are short-circuited, this control prevents destruction of memory cell information, which may be caused by noise, and also prevents generation of leakage current. A fuse, etc., for preventing generation of leakage current is unnecessary, so that lower cost is realized.
