Abstract:
A system includes a power supply, a memory controller and a memory device. The memory controller is configured to receive power from the power supply, generate a memory power supply voltage for use by the memory device based on the power received from the power supply and provide the memory power supply voltage to the memory device.
Abstract:
A semiconductor memory device is kept in a busy state by controlling a ready/busy pad when a detection signal is output since an external voltage is less than a reference voltage, prevents generation of an operating voltage by a pump circuit by preventing generation of a pump clock, and resets a microcontroller by preventing generation of micro clock. Accordingly, the semiconductor memory device may be prevented from malfunctioning through a series of operations when the external voltage is less than the reference voltage.
