    摘要: In a phase change memory, when M bit (8 bits=1 byte) data is written, erase operation and program operation are performed in units of n bit (M>n) data. Further, when M bit data is written, program operation is performed in units of the n bit (M>n) data. Further, when M bit data is read from the memory cell, read operation is performed in units of the n bit (M>n) data. For example, when the data is written into to the phase change memory, the data is not overwritten but program is performed after once erasing the target memory cell. The data size for erasure and the data size for program are made equal. Erase and program operation are performed only for the demanded data size.

    摘要: In a memory array structured of memory cells using a storage circuit STC and a comparator CP, either one electrode of a source electrode or a drain electrode of a transistor, whose gate electrode is connected to a search line, of a plurality of transistors structuring the comparator CP is connected to a match line HMLr precharged to a high voltage. Further, a match detector MDr is arranged on a match line LMLr precharged to a low voltage to discriminate a comparison signal voltage generated at the match line according to the comparison result of data. According to such memory array structure and operation, comparison operation can be performed at low power and at high speed while influence of search-line noise is avoided in a match line pair. Therefore, a low power content addressable memory which allows search operation at high speed can be realized.

    摘要: A write command is inputted from an outside, voltages of bit lines become VDL and VSS, and a voltage in accordance with a threshold voltage (LVT: low threshold voltage, MVT: mid threshold voltage, HVT: high threshold voltage) of a memory cell transistor is written into a storage node of a capacitor via the memory cell transistor. Thereafter, when a plate line connected to a plate side of the capacitor is driven from voltage VPL to voltage VPH and the voltage of the storage node is increased due to coupling, the voltage VDL of the bit line is reduced to the voltage VDP, and the voltage excessively written into the storage node is reduced in accordance with a level of a threshold voltage of the memory cell transistor, thereby reducing a variation in the voltage of the storage node due to a variation in the threshold voltage.
