    摘要: A circuit generates a power on reset signal in response to the changing of a supply potential across a supply node and a reference node from a power down level to a power on level. The circuit comprises a capacitor having a first terminal coupled to the supply node and a second terminal. An output driver, such as an inverter, is coupled between the supply node and the reference node. The output driver has an output coupled to the second terminal of the capacitor. An input driver comprises a circuit which drives the input of the output driver to a level which tracks changes in the supply potential. A clamp transistor, such as a n-channel MOS transistor having a lower threshold than normal transistors in the circuit, is coupled between the input of the output driver and the supply potential. The clamp transistor clamps the input of the output driver to a driver ready level which is below the trip point of the output driver when the supply potential is at a power down level. In addition, a feedback transistor is included, which has a gate coupled to the output of the output driver, a drain coupled to the input of the output driver, and a source coupled to the supply node. The feedback transistor pulls the input of the output driver to a driver off level above the trip point of the output driver.

    摘要: A program method, applied in a flash memory, includes the following steps. Firstly, a first memory sector and a second memory sector are selected, wherein the first and the second memory sectors respectively correspond to a first word line and a second word line. Next, a first operation phase and a second operation phase are determined. Then, the first word line is biased with a first setup voltage, and the second word line is driven in one of a program operation and a program-verification operation, in the first operation phase. After that, the second word line is biased with a second setup voltage, and the first word line is driven in the other one of the program operation and the program-verification operation in the second operation phase.

    摘要: A memory circuit with a word line driver and control circuitry is disclosed. The word line driver receives a first voltage reference signal, a second voltage reference signal, and an input signal. The word line driver has an output coupled to a word line. The control circuitry is configured to deselect the word line by applying the input signal to the input of the word line driver. For example, in a program operation the word line is deselected to indicate that the word line is not programmed, and another word line is selected to be programmed. During an operation in which the word line is deselected and another word line is selected, the word line discharges through both of a first p-type transistor and a first n-type transistor of the word line driver.
