    摘要: The semiconductor device of the present invention includes a column decoder (select and write circuit), which selects multiple pages that are not located adjacently to each other so as to simultaneously program multiple bits in the memory cells of the selected page, when the multiple bits are programmed in the multiple pages. The page is a selection unit and is composed of a given number of the memory cells located on a same word line. An unnecessary stress of programming is not applied to the memory cells that are not to be programmed, by increasing the distance between the memory cells to be programmed simultaneously.

    摘要: A semiconductor device includes a first memory cell array that includes memory cells for storing data and is managed on a sector basis, a second memory cell array including memory cells storing sector protection information on the sector basis, and a control circuit checking the sector protection information stored in the second memory cell array whenever the sector to be programmed or erased is selected. Thus, the sector protection information in all the sectors does not have to be latched at the time of power on. The latch circuit equal in number to the sector does not have to be provided. It is thus possible to reduce the number of the circuits drastically and the chip area can be reduced.
