    Abstract: A non volatile memory apparatus including a control circuit, plural terminals having clock, command and other terminals, plural nonvolatile memory cells, and first and second volatile memories. The clock and command terminals respectively receive a first clock signal and commands including read and program commands. In response to the read command, the control circuit controls reading data from the memory cells, stores read data to the second volatile memory, transfers data to first volatile memory, and outputs data via the other terminal except the command terminal in response to the first clock signal. In response to the program command, the control circuit controls receiving data via the other terminal except the command terminal in response to the first clock signal, stores received data to the first volatile memory, transfers data to the second volatile memory, and writes data to the memory cells.

    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: At the data programming time, data of a plurality of bits are transformed by a data transforming logic circuit into data (multi-value data) according to the combination of the bits, and the transformed data are sequentially transferred to a latch circuit connected to the bit lines of a memory array. A program pulse is generated according to the data latched in the latch circuit and is applied to a memory element of a selected state correspondingly to the multi-value data. At the data reading operation, the states of the memory elements are read out by changing the read voltage to intermediate values of the individual threshold values and are transferred to and latched in a register for storing the multi-value data, so that the original data may be restored by a data inverse transforming logic circuit on the basis of the multi-value data stored in the register. As a result, the peripheral circuit scale of the memory array can be suppressed to a relatively small size, and programming operation performed in a short time can be realized.
