    摘要: A high voltage output driver derives operational power from high voltages and a switching circuit which reverses the output state of the high voltage output driver. The high voltage output driver has in a current path of the high voltages, a series circuit of a first MOS transistor (M1) and second MOS transistor (M2), with the serial connection node thereof being the driver output terminal. The switching circuit operates to reverse the complementary switching states of the first and second MOS transistors such that one transistor in the on-state is switched to an off-state first and the other transistor is switched to an on-state afterward. Even if the other MOS transistor has its Vds exceeding the minimum breakdown voltage when it operates to turn on, the through current path is already shut off, and therefore the high voltage output driver does not break down.

    摘要: The read speed of an on-chip nonvolatile memory enabling electric rewrite is increased. The nonvolatile memory has a hierarchal bit line structure having first bit lines specific to each of a plurality of memory arrays, a second bit line shared between the plurality of memory arrays, a first selector circuit selecting the first bit line for each of the memory arrays to connect the selected first bit line to the second bit line, and a sense amp arranged between the output of the first selector circuit and the second bit line. The hierarchal bit line structure having the divided memory arrays can reduce the input load capacity of the sense amp.
