    摘要: A memory mat is provided separately from a memory mat that is a normal memory area, and data therein cannot be read from the outside. In a page buffer, information input from the outside is stored. A comparing circuit compares security information stored in memory mat with information stored in page buffer, and the comparison result is output to the outside as a status. Even when unauthorized copying is performed, information in memory mat is not copied. Therefore, an external apparatus can easily determine whether or not the semiconductor memory is an unauthorized copy by referring to the status.

    摘要: Operations of applying an erase pulse and further performing block program before erasure are executed in steps S2 and S3 before applying the erase pulse on a block by block basis. This narrows the distribution width of the threshold voltage, and reduces the number of the memory transistors to be subjected to over-erase verify so that a total erasing time of data of a flash memory can be reduced.

    摘要: At the time of writing data, a tester outputs a chip enable signal /CE of the L level and selection signals of the L level to simultaneously make semiconductor memory devices active. At the time of reading data, the tester outputs the chip enable signal of the L level to the semiconductor memory devices, and selectively switches the logic level of a selection signal to be outputted to some semiconductor memory devices and that of the selection signal to be outputted to the other semiconductor memory devices to the L level. In such a manner, a number of semiconductor memory devices can be tested without increasing the number of pins of the tester.

    摘要: A voltage generation portion includes a voltage amplifier circuit, receiving a boosted potential VPP generated by a charge pump circuit to output an output potential Vout equal to a standard potential VIN. Output potentials Vout are distributed as voltages for rewriting and erasing on a flash memory via distributor. The output potential Vout can be changed faster than the boosted potential VPP generated by the charge pump circuit does.

    摘要: In the present flash memory a threshold voltage of a memory transistor to which data is written is detected and the detected value is used to set an initial value of a pulse voltage of a write pulse signal, and whenever the write pulse signal is applied, the pulse voltage is increased by a step voltage. The memory transistor's drain current and the threshold voltage's variation can be smaller than when a fixed pulse voltage is applied, as conventional.
