摘要:
A memory system includes a ferroelectric memory, flash EEPROM, control circuit, and interface circuit. The control circuit is configured to control the ferroelectric memory and flash EEPROM. The interface circuit is configured to communicate externally. Data is programmed in the flash EEPROM by a write unit which is smaller than a block as an erase unit and larger than a page as a program unit. The ferroelectric memory stores a logical address-physical address conversion table using the write unit.

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 operation, the rewrite operation is not effected for a memory cell with the data once properly written, by changing the data in the data register.

摘要:
A NAND cell type electrically erasable programmable read-only memory has a memory array section containing NAND cell units. Each NAND cell unit has a series array of floating gate type metal-oxide semiconductor field effect transistors as memory cell transistors. The memory section is associated with a control-gate controller, a data-latch circuit, a sense amplifier section, and a data comparator, which is connected via an output buffer to a verify-termination detector. When a data is once written into a selected memory cell in a data programming mode, a specific basing voltage is applied to the selected cell so that the actual electrical data write condition of the selected memory cell is verified. If the comparator detects that the verified write condition is dissatisfied, data-rewriting operations are repeatedly executed by additionally supplied the selected cell with a suitable voltage which compensates for the dissatisfaction of the verified write condition in the selected memory cell transistor.
摘要:
A sense amplifier for signal detection for use in an electrically erasable and programmable read-only memory (EEPROM). The sense amplifier includes a first clock signal-synchronized inverter including a first inverter and first switch for switching between activating and deactivating states of the first inverter, the first clock signal-synchronized inverter having a first input connected to a corresponding one of the bit lines and a first output. A second clock signal-synchronized inverter is arranged in parallel with the first clock signal-synchronized inverter and includes a second inverter and a second switch for switching between activating and deactivating states of the second inverter, the second clock signal-synchronized inverter having an input connected to the output of the first clock signal-synchronized inverter and an output connected to the input of the first clock signal-synchronized inverter. The switches in the first and second clock signal-synchronized inverters are activated with a delay so that a potential on the corresponding bit line is reliably sensed and latched at the output of the first clock signal-synchronized inverter.
