    摘要: There is achieved a high-integrated and high-speed nonvolatile memory which can stabilize an operation of a phase-change memory for a short operation cycle time. A latch is provided in a write driver. A change to a high-resistance state of a phase-change element is performed per column cycle by a write-enable signal, and a change to a low-resistance state thereof is performed after a pre-charge command is inputted and concurrently with deactivation of a pre-charge signal. Thereby, a write time to a memory cell in which phase-change resistance is changed to a low-resistance state, and a period from a write operation for changing the phase-change resistance to a high-resistance state to a read operation to the above memory cell can be lengthened without extending the column cycle time, so that the stable write operation is achieved.

    摘要: A semiconductor device comprises a plurality of memory cells, a central processing unit, a timer circuit which times a RESET time, and a timer circuit which times a SET time. A threshold voltage of an NMOS transistor of each memory cell is lower than that of the peripheral circuit, thereby easily executing a RESET operation. The direction of a flowing current is changed across the RESET operation and the SET operation, and the bit lines are activated at high speed, thus preventing system malfunctions. Further, the semiconductor device can overcome such problems as a wrong write operation and data destruction, resulting from the variation in the CMOS transistors when operating phase change elements with minimum size CMOS transistors at a core voltage (e.g. 1.2 V). According to the present invention, stable operations can be realized at a low voltage, using minimum-size cell transistors.
