    摘要: An EEPROM cell is described as having a screening metal structure formed of preference in the first metal layer and located in substantial overlaying relationship at the floating gate terminal. This defeats the possibility of anomalous readings being obtained by measuring the amount of charge on the floating gate terminal. An additional screening metal structure, to be formed in the third and following metal layers, may be provided to fully overlie the cell and provide additional protection against anomalous readings.

    摘要: To form a ramp signal for the programming of a memory cell without losing excess voltage in a control circuit, the output of a voltage pull-up circuit is connected to the programming input using a P type transistor. It is shown that this P type transistor then charges the memory array at constant current, prompting a linear increase of the voltage. This results in preventing the memory cell that is to be programmed from being subjected to excessively sudden variations of voltage. It is shown that by acting in this way, the integrated circuit can be made to work even with very low voltages.

    摘要: In a memory, a zone descriptor contains authorizations to act which may pertain to actions of reading, writing and erasure and which concerns memory words of a zone of the memory controlled by this descriptor. The zone descriptor also has an information element indicating the length of the memory zone by including the address of the next descriptor. An internal zone control signal is produced in order to store a mode of management of the memory zone and, an address corresponding to the end of the zone. The end of zone address is then compared with the addresses delivered by an address counter. A modification of the stored information is prompted when the end of a zone is reached.

    摘要: The access to memory words of an integrated circuit is protected by the creation of a decision table that receives addresses of instruction words and/or data words to be protected and that receives also addresses of the control bits of a control word assigned to a word to be protected. It can be shown that this mode of action provides greater security through the use of a decision table made in wired circuit form as well as greater flexibility through the programmable quality of the control words assigned to each memory word to be controlled.

    摘要: An integrated circuit includes non-volatile storage configured to secretly store a digital word, the value of which forms an identification code. The integrated circuit also includes control circuitry configured to receive the digital word and to generate transient electrical currents or transient voltages, the characteristics of which depend on the value of the digital word. There is an electrically conductive network configured to be passed through by the electrical currents or receive the transient voltages so as to generate an electromagnetic field that identifies the integrated circuit.

    摘要: The disclosure relates to detectors of the level of supply voltage in an integrated circuit. The disclosed detector is designed to detect the crossing of low levels of supply voltage. It comprises a first arm to define a first reference voltage and a second arm to define a second reference voltage, these two reference voltages varying differently as a function of the supply voltage and their curves of variation intersecting for a value of the supply voltage located close to a desired threshold. A comparator receives the two reference voltages. The first arm has a resistive divider bridge, an intermediate connector of which constitutes the first reference voltage. The second arm comprises a resistor series-connected with a native P type MOS transistor, the point of junction of this resistor and this transistor constituting the second reference voltage. A non-linear element may be parallel-connected to the resistor which constitutes the first reference voltage.

    摘要: A voltage reference generator includes a voltage source and a differential amplifier. The voltage source supplies a stable voltage reference to a positive input of the differential amplifier which is configured as a follower having its output looped back to its negative input. The negative feedback loop is a variable-resistance loop that is controlled by the output of the differential amplifier. The variable-resistance feedback loop transiently imposes open-loop operation when the voltage reference generator is turned on so as to provide high current to the output before imposing closed-loop operation in follower mode.
