摘要:
An access identification circuit (4) identifies a first access operation or a second access operation and outputs an identification signal S. During the first access operation, stored data is read out after detecting a column address CADD, a burst address, and updating a word line to newly select memory cells MC. In the second access operation, the memory cells MC connected to the common word line which has been selected are selected by sequentially switching column selector switches. Operating condition information Dx (DAx and/or DBx) used for setting a load condition in a dummy load circuit (5) and/or setting a pulse width for an equalize signal EQ in an amplification control circuit (6) is stored in each of first and second storage sections (1, 2) that are provided for the first and second access operations, respectively. The operating condition information Dx is selected by a selector circuit (3) in response to the identification signal S and fed to the dummy load circuit (5) and/or the amplification control circuit (6). A suitable operating condition is selected for each of the access operations.

This invention provides a nonvolatile semiconductor memory device including a novel memory core portion in which an influence of a parasitic element component in a memory cell information reading path is excluded in a reading operation, and novel sensing means accompanying this memory core structure, so as to achieve rapid sensing. In the memory core portion, a selected memory cell is selected by a global bit line through a local bit line and an adjacent global bit line is connected to a local bit line in a non-selected sector. A column selecting portion connects a pair of the global bit lines to a pair of data bus lines. A load portion having a load equivalent to a parasitic capacitance of a path leading from the memory cell and for supplying a reference current to a reference side is connected to a pair of the data bus lines. A current of the memory cell information is compared with the reference current by a current comparing portion and a differential current is outputted. A path load is equalized by a pair of adjacent paths so that an effect from noise is canceled, thus making it possible to achieve rapid reading.

A semiconductor device includes a CAM cell array that stores the operation setting information as to the semiconductor device, a controller that controls read and write of the CAM cell array, a row decoder, and a column decoder. With this structure, different row addresses are allocated to respective functions of the operation setting information. Accordingly, stress is not caused in the CAM cell array of the unselected functions at the time of programming.

In the storage device of the invention, latch control is performed on a series of signals in response to latch control signals. Latch control terminals are provided to which the latch control signals are input respectively and a plurality of signal terminals to which a series of signals are input. Herein, a plurality of latch circuits is provided so as to correspond to the plurality of signal terminals, respectively. The plurality of latch circuits are located within a specified distance from their associated signal terminals respectively and within a specified distance from the latch control terminals. The delays of signal transmission from the signal terminals to their associated latch circuits can be equalized and the delays of signal transmission from the latch control terminals to which the latch control signals for executing latch control are input to the latch circuits can be equalized. This contributes to a reduction in the skew of the latch characteristics of the signals.

A memory system (1A) includes a memory section (2A) and a memory control section (3A). The memory section (2A) includes a test circuit (4A), a data register (5A), a data output section (6A), and a memory core section (9A). Data DI is held in the data resistor (5A). The test circuit (4A) outputs write inhibit signal WINH to the memory core section (9A) in response to test signal TEST. Write instruction recognition signal WR which recognizes that a write command is inputted into the memory section (2A) and select signal S are inverted and, in response thereto, retained data DR of the data register (5A) is outputted as output data DO from the data output section (6A). Thus, it is possible to test whether generation, propagation, or recognition operation of a write command CMD and the data DI is normal or not without executing the operation of writing data into a memory cell of the memory section.
