摘要:
A multi-chip system and a boot code fetch method include a nonvolatile memory chip storing a volatile memory chip, and a boot code, and a host fetching the boot code. The boot code is transferred to the volatile memory chip before the host fetches the boot code in the nonvolatile memory chip, and the boot code is fetched in the volatile memory chip. Therefore, a bootRAM of the conventional nonvolatile memory chip may be removed, so that an area of the nonvolatile memory chip can be reduced.

Disclosed is a multichip system and method of transferring data between memory chips in direct. The multichip system includes first and second memory chips, and a host system to control operations of the first and second memory chips. The first memory chip controls the second memory chip to transfer data to the second memory chip in response to local transfer information provided from the host system. The first memory chip controls the host system not to access the first and second memory chips while conducting a local transfer operation. According to the invention, since the data is able to be directly transferred between the memory chips without the host system, it enhances the efficiency of the multichip system and improves a data transfer speed.

Disclosed is a program method for a flash memory device which includes; storing data in a buffer memory and generating a high voltage as a word line voltage. When transmission of data to the buffer memory is complete, the program method simultaneously transfers data in the buffer memory to a page buffer circuit, and programs data in the page buffer circuit in a memory cell array according to the word line voltage.

Methods are provided to program a memory device having a plurality of memory blocks. A first address for selecting a row of each of the memory blocks is generated according to a multi-page program operation. A second address for selecting a memory block is received and latched, which is repeated until second addresses of memory blocks to be selected are all received and latched. Memory blocks are selected by the latched second addresses, and then the same rows of the respective selected memory blocks are simultaneously activated according to the first address. Related memory devices also are described.

The disclosure is a method of controlling operations in a static random access memory employing twin cells. After a wordline coupled to first and second cell transistors is conductive, a voltage difference between a first bitline, which is connected to a first cell capacitor through the first cell transistor, and a second bitline, which is connected to a second cell capacitor through the second cell transistor, is driven into a sense amplifier to be developed with amplification. An active wordline turns nonconductive when one of the bitline voltages accords with a predetermined reference voltage.
