    摘要: A phase change memory includes a memory cell with a phase change element storing data according to level change of a resistance value in association with phase change, a write circuit converting the phase change element to an amorphous state or a polycrystalline state according to the logic of write data in a write operation mode, a read circuit reading out stored data from the phase change element in a readout operation mode, and a discharge circuit applying a discharge voltage to the phase change element to remove electrons trapped in the phase change element in a discharge operation mode. Accordingly, variation in the resistance value at the phase change element can be suppressed.

    摘要: When a leakage type determining circuit determines that leakage current components of a gate leakage and a substrate leakage are larger in a resume standby mode, a VDDR regulator generates a power supply voltage VDDR at a first voltage level lower than a power supply voltage VDD, and supplies the voltage as a power supply voltage VDDR1 to an SRAM module via a selector switch. When the leakage type determining circuit determines that a leakage current of a channel leakage is larger, the VDDR regulator supplies the power supply voltage VDDR1 higher than the first voltage level and lower than the power supply voltage VDD to the SRAM module. Also, an ARVSS regulator supplies a cell source power supply voltage higher than a reference voltage to an SRAM module in another region.

    摘要: In a semiconductor device, memory modules each having a low power consumption mode that is enabled and disabled by a control signal belong to a memory block. A transmission path of the control signal is provided such that the control signal is inputted in parallel to the memory module via an inside-of-module path, and such that the control signal is outputted by a particular memory module of the memory modules via the inside-of-module path to a downstream outside-of-module path. The particular memory module in the memory block is selected such that it has a greater storage capacity than the other memory modules belonging to this same memory block have.

    摘要: Disclosed here is a method for speeding up data writing and reducing power consumption by reducing the variation of the threshold voltage of each of non-volatile memory cells at data writing. When writing data in a memory cell, a voltage of about 8V is applied to the memory gate line, a voltage of about 5V is applied to the source line, a voltage of about 1.5V is applied to the selected gate line respectively. At that time, in the writing circuit, the writing pulse is 0, the writing latch output a High signal, and a NAND-circuit outputs a Low signal. And, a constant current of about 1iA flows in a constant current source transistor and the bit line is discharged by a constant current of about 1iA to flow a current in the memory cell.
