摘要: A semiconductor memory has a main memory and an ID memory, of which both store data in a nonvolatile memory. The data stored in the ID memory is compared with data entered from outside by a verifying circuit. Whether access to the main memory is permitted or not depends on the result of the verification by the verifying circuit. The operation code for accessing the ID memory is different from the operation code for accessing the main memory. The operation code for the ID memory is changed in accordance with the data stored in the ID memory.

摘要: Nonvolatile memory with a simple structure where recorded information can be read without destruction: Voltage is impressed between control gate CG and memory gate MG at a writing operation. A ferroelectric layer 32 is polarized in accordance with the direction of the impressed voltage. The control gate voltage V.sub.CG to make a channel is low when the ferroelectric layer 32 is polarized with the control gate side being positive (polarized with second status). The control gate voltage V.sub.CG to make a channel is high when the ferroelectric layer 32 is polarized with the control gate side being negative (polarized with the first status). The reference voltage V.sub.ref is impressed to the control gate CG at the reading operation. A high drain current flows when the ferroelectric layer is polarized with the second status and low drain current flows when the ferroelectric layer is polarized with the first status. Recorded information can be read by detecting the drain current. With this reading operation, the polarization status is not destroyed.

摘要: A semiconductor device is equipped with a step-up circuit having a series of multiple charge pump units. Each of the units has a well separation type MOS transistor. The separation well of the transistor is coupled to a high potential so as to form double reverse biases between the N-type well and a P-type substrate and between the N-type well and a P-type well. This permits the threshold Vth of the MOS transistor to be held at low level. The units are provided with a clock whose current supply capability is limited until a predetermined condition (that a predetermined period of time has elapsed after the onset of the step-up circuit by a startup signal or that the output voltage has reached a predetermined level). This limitation of the clock facilitates suppression of power consumption by the step-up circuit during a startup, thereby reducing changes in amplitude of a supply voltage.

摘要: In an electrically erasable programmable ROM in which written data contains in a very limited part high-frequency reload data, the memory capacity is reduced in the following new way. An address detecting circuit (12) detects whether or not designated write addresses are within a predetermined range and discriminates the write object data, which is to be high-frequency reload data, if the designated write addresses are within the predetermined range as the result of detection. Then, three sets of identical data (D.sub.7 to D.sub.0) prepared by a data creating circuit (11) are overwritten respectively in three different memory cells (A.sub.0, A.sub.0 ', A.sub.0 "). In data reading, the individual data are read from the respective memory cells, and one of the data decided by a majority logical circuit (15) is outputted as read data.
