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.

Data having three values or more is stored in a memory cell in a nonvolatile manner. A data circuit has a plurality of storage circuits. One of the plurality of storage circuits is a latch circuit. Another one of the plurality of storage circuits is a capacitor. The latch circuit and the capacitor function to temporarily store program/read data having two bits or more. Data held by the capacitor is refreshed using the latch circuit if data variation due to leakage causes a program. As a result, the data circuit does not become large in size even if multi-level data is used.

One package contains a plurality of memory chips. Each memory chip has an I/O terminal which generates a busy signal. The busy signal enables a busy state when a power supply voltage value reaches a specified and guaranteed range after a power-on sequence. The busy signal maintains the busy state until completion of initialization operations for the plurality of memory chips. The busy signal releases the busy state after completion of all initialization operations for the plurality of memory chips.

A semiconductor integrated circuit includes a limiter circuit for outputting a voltage determining flag in order to set a boosted voltage level of a booster circuit to be a predetermined value, and a monitoring circuit for monitoring a monitoring node of the limiter circuit to output a monitoring signal for the stabilization of a boosted voltage to a first external terminal. The monitoring circuit detects a first level change of the voltage determining flag from “H” to “L” after the starting of the operation of the limiter circuit, by means of a comparator, to which an external power supply voltage and external reference voltage supplied from second and third external terminals are given, and thereafter, outputs a monitoring signal for holding a constant logical level during the operation of the limiter circuit. In order to provide a voltage trimming function, a voltage intended to be set in an external terminal may be given from the outside to deactivate a feedback system of the limiter circuit to operate a resistance value of the limiter circuit to detect and store a limiter flag. Thus, there is provided a semiconductor integrated circuit capable of simply monitoring the output voltage state of an internal power supply circuit by the external terminal and easily trimming an internal voltage.
