摘要:
The time required for the program verify and erase verify operations can be shortened. The change of threshold values of memory cells can be suppressed even if the write and erase operations are executed repetitively. After the program and erase operations, whether the operations were properly executed can be judged simultaneously for all bit lines basing upon a change, after the pre-charge, of the potential at each bit line, without changing the column address. In the data rewrite oepration, the rewrite operation is not effected for a memory cell with the data once properly written, by changing the data in the data register.

A non-volatile semiconductor memory device comprises a memory cell array of data-rewritable non-volatile memory cells or memory cell units containing the memory cells, and a plurality of word lines each commonly connected to the memory cells on the same row in the memory cell array. In write pulse applying during data writing, a high voltage for writing is applied to a selected word line, and an intermediate voltage for writing is applied to at least two of non-selected word lines. The beginning of charging a first word line located between the selected word line and a source line to a first intermediate voltage for writing is followed by the beginning of charging a second word line located between the selected word line and a bit line contact to a second intermediate voltage for writing.

A semiconductor memory device disclosed herein comprises a memory cell array in which memory cells are arranged in a matrix and a row decoder circuit for selecting a word line in this memory cell array and for applying a voltage to the selected word line. The decoder circuit includes a plurality of first transistors of a first conductivity type in which one end of each current path is directly connected to each of the word lines, and a second transistor of a second conductivity type opposite to the first conductivity type for applying a voltage to a gate of the first transistor connected to a selected word line at the time of the operation for applying a voltage to the selected word line. The application of a voltage to the selected word line is performed only by the first transistor of the first conductivity type.

In a semiconductor integrated circuit, an internal circuit is capable of executing a first operation and a second operation concurrently, and an output circuit outputs to the outside of the semiconductor integrated circuit information indicating whether or not the first operation is being executed and information indicating whether or not the second operation is executable.

A voltage switching circuit is disclosed which is constructed from a minimum number of transistors and prevents the threshold voltage margin from being lowered by causing high-voltage cutoff and supply voltage transfer functions heretofore performed by a single depletion transistor to be shared between two series-connected depletion transistors different in gate insulating film thickness or threshold voltage. Thus, without using enhancement transistors which involve an increase in pattern area a voltage switching circuit can be provided which is small in chip area, low in cost and high in yield and reliability and provides a stable operation with a low supply voltage which is impossible with one depletion transistor.

A non-volatile semiconductor memory includes a memory cell array having a plurality of electrically-rewritable non-volatile memory cells. The memory cell array is provided with an initially-setting data area, programmed in which is initially-setting data for deciding memory operation requirements. The non-volatile semiconductor memory also includes an initial-set data latch. The initially-setting data of the memory cell array is read out and transferred to the data latch in an initially-setting operation.

There is provided a semiconductor memory device, which realizes rewriting of data in the memory cell by applying a potential difference between the gate and the source, or applying a potential difference between the gate and the drain, which is larger than the power supply voltage. This semiconductor memory device is provided with a source line potential control circuit configured to control the source line potential. The source line potential control circuit sets the source line potential at the time of the mode for programming “1” data in a plurality of blocks in one package to a level lower than at the normal-data programming mode.

A docking station useful for connecting a portable computing device to a network or other external device. The docking station includes a first supporting device having a first mounting surface and connector thereon to support and electrically connect to a portable computing device. The first mounting surface is rotationally mounted to a base, and slightly inclined with respect to the underside of the base. Such configuration allows the portable computing device to lie substantially horizontal and to be rotated about a substantially vertical axis. The docking station further includes a second supporting device having a second mounting surface to support the first supporting device thereon. The second mounting surface is mounted on a base, and is significantly inclined with respect to its base. Such configuration allows the portable computing device to lie substantially vertical and to be rotated about a substantially horizontal axis.

One aspect of an embodiment of the invention provides an apparatus for interlocking a display housing to a display support member. The apparatus comprises a lever, a first fastener and a second fastener. The first fastener is pivotally coupled to one end of the lever. The second fastener, however, is coupled to the other end of the lever. The second fastener engages a display support member when the lever is placed in a first state and disengages from the display support member when the lever is placed in a second state. The adjustment of the lever to move from a first state to a second state is in response to an event performed on the first fastener.
