    摘要: A dummy cell (reference electric potential generating circuit) DC has a paraelectric capacitor DCC1 and a ferro-electric capacitor DCC2. One end of the paraelectric capacitor DCC1 and one end of the ferro-electric capacitor DCC2 are commonly connected to a node N1. A dummy plate electric potential DPL1 is supplied to the other end of the paraelectric capacitor DCC1, and a dummy plate electric potential DPL2 is supplied to the other end of the ferro-electric capacitor DCC2. When data of a memory cell MC is read at a bit line (selective bit line) BL1, a reference electric potential is supplied to a bit line (reference bit line) BL2 from the dummy cell DC.

    摘要: In a NAND EEPROM using the local self-boosting system, an intermediate voltage which allows a memory cell adjacent to a selected memory cell to be turned on is applied to the control gate of the adjacent memory cell. As a result, even if the adjacent memory cell is in a normally-off state, the potential of a bit line can be transmitted to the adjacent memory cell. Thus, the reliability of the write inhibition in a non-selected NAND memory cell column is improved, while data can be written at random into a plurality of memory cells in a selected NAND memory cell column. When data is to be erased, an absolute value of an erasing voltage applied to a control gate can be less. As a result, data can be erased by a lower erasure voltage than that required in the conventional art. Consequently, the element refinement, the reliability and the yield can be further improved.

    摘要: A variable potential generating circuit includes a resistive potential divider circuit and first and second operational amplifiers. The resistive potential divider circuit includes a switching element and a current-scaling type digital/analog converter circuit connected in series between a power supply node and a ground node. The resistive potential divider circuit has a first node at which a divided potential obtained by resistive division of a variable potential to be output from a variable potential output node appears and a second node to which a virtual potential is applied. The first operational amplifier compares the divided potential of the first node with a reference potential to effect the feedback control for setting the variable output potential equal to the reference potential. The second operational amplifier compares the virtual potential of the second node with the reference potential to effect the feedback control for setting the virtual potential equal to the reference potential.

    摘要: The semiconductor memory device of the present invention includes a memory cell having a floating gate and a control gate, for maintaining data by shifting the threshold value. In the test mode, the data read from the memory cell is verified by the verify circuit. If the result of verify is not approved, the writing of data is carried out again. The number of times of such writing is counted by the count circuit. In the data table, various correlations between the numbers of times of write and write voltages are stored. The write voltage data corresponding to the number of times of write from the count circuit is selectively output from the data table. The write voltage data is written in the memory element by the write circuit. The voltage at the other terminal of the voltage limiting circuit for varying the write voltage, is divided into several voltages, and thus the write voltage can be varied. The control circuit controls the dividing circuit such as to set the write voltage indicated by the write voltage data in the memory element in the write mode. Thus, the write voltage is optimized, and the appropriate number of times of write can be performed.

    摘要: In a dynamic semiconductor memory, bit line pairs and word lines are perpendicular to each other and arranged in a matrix constituted by memory cells. Dummy cells are arranged at intersections between the bit line pairs and a pair of dummy cell word lines. The capacitance of each dummy cell is half that of the memory cell. A pre-sense amplifier and a main sense amplifier are arranged in each pair of bit lines. When data is read out from a selected memory cell, the pre-sense amplifiers are simultaneously activated to perform the pre-sensing operation. However, in the main sensing operation, only one specific main sense amplifier arranged in a certain bit line pair including the bit line connected to the selected memory cell is activated.

    摘要: A digital conference circuit for multiplexed voice signals. Each slot for each of the users is further sub-divided into sub-slots for all the users. A selection circuit indicates which originating users are to be connected with which receiving users within a conference. No message is retransmitted to the originator. The received message in a slot is gated according to the selection signal into an adder, also receiving the output of a shift register holding the signals for all sub-slots in one slot. The added signal is shifted into the shift register. Once all the corresponding sub-slots have been added, the output of the shift register is transmitted to the users.
