    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.

    摘要: An EEPROM includes an array of memory cells divided into a plurality of memory blocks in a semiconductor well region in a substrate. Each block includes series arrays of FATMOS transistors each acting as one memory cell, wherein binary information may be stored in a selected cell transistor by causing carriers to tunnel between the floating gate thereof and the well region. In each block, word lines are connected to the control gates of cell transistors; control lines are to select transistors provided in the series arrays of cell transistors, with which bit lines are associated. A block-erase operation is performed such that a desired one of the memory blocks is selected for erase, while forcing the remaining memory blocks to remain non-erased. To do this, a first voltage is applied to those of the word lines of the selected block, while applying a second voltage to the remaining word lines of the non-selected blocks, the control lines of all the blocks, and the well region.

    摘要: A plurality of electrically erasable programmable read-only memories or EEPROMs are associated with a controller LSI. Each EEPROM includes an array of floating-gate tunneling memory cell transistors arranged in rows and columns. When a sub-array of memory cell transistors providing a one-page data is selected for programming, the controller LSI performs a write/verify operation as follows the electrically written state after the programming of the selected memory cell transistors is verified by checking their threshold values for variations, and when any potentially insufficient cell transistor remains among them, the rewrite operation using a predetermined write voltage for a predetermined period of time is repeated so that the resultant write state may come closer to a satisfiable reference state. Each rewrite/verify operation is performed by applying the write voltage to the insufficient cell transistor for a predetermined period of time.

    摘要: A highly-integrated semiconductor dynamic random-acess memory is disclosed wherein a reference voltage-generating circuit is connected by voltage-transmission lines to a row-address buffer and a column-address buffer. The reference voltage-generating circuit receives a power-supply voltage and generates first and second reference voltages which are different, by different values, from an ordinary reference potential level. These reference voltages are supplied to the address buffers through the voltage-transmission lines. The first and second reference voltages are adjusted to compensate for a potential deviation which occurs on the voltage-transmission lines. Therefore, even when either reference voltage fluctuates due to an increase in the coupling capacitance between the substrate of the dynamic random-access memory, on the one hand, and the voltage-transmission lines, on the other, both address buffers are prevented from malfunctioning.
