    摘要: The semiconductor device includes a nonvolatile memory, having a memory array containing 1-bit twin cells, each composed of electrically rewritable first and second storage devices, the first and second storage devices holding binary data according to difference of their threshold voltages, and having different retention characteristics depending on difference of the binary data thereof; a read circuit for differentially amplifying complementary data output from the first and second storage devices of the twin cell selected for read, and judging information stored in the twin cell; and a control circuit. Two memory cells constituting a twin cell are arranged to hold different data. Therefore, even when the retention performance of one memory cell deteriorates, the difference between data held by the two memory cells can be maintained. Hence, differential amplification of such difference enables acquisition of proper stored information. Thus, retention performance of an electrically rewritable nonvolatile memory cell is improved.

    摘要: For each memory block, a predecoder for predecoding an applied address signal, an address latch circuit for latching the output signal of the predecoder, and a decode circuit for decoding an output signal of the address latch circuit and performing a memory cell selecting operation in a corresponding memory block are provided. Propagation delay of latch predecode signals can be made smaller and the margin for the internal read timing can be enlarged. In addition, the internal state of the decoder and memory cell selection circuitry are rest to an initial state when a memory cell is selected and the internal data output circuitry is reset to an initial state in accordance with a state of internal data reading. Thus, a non-volatile semiconductor memory device that can decrease address skew and realize an operation with sufficient margin is provided.
