    摘要: In a nonvolatile semiconductor memory having a two-stage sense read circuit using a level shift circuit and a single-end sense amplifier, relationships of sizes of a main memory cell bit line charge transistor, a main memory cell bit line transfer gate transistor, a main memory cell bit line load transistor, a dummy cell bit line charge transistor, a dummy cell bit line transfer gate transistor, and a dummy cell bit line load transistor are set to simultaneously satisfy conditions for equalizing a bit line and a dummy cell bit line and conditions for equalizing a sense line and a dummy cell sense line. Therefore, the potentials of the bit line and the dummy cell bit line and the potentials of the sense line and the dummy cell sense line can be simultaneously equalized, and a high-speed read operation can be achieved.

    摘要: In a flash memory EEPROM, a memory cell MC is formed in a P-type semiconductor substrate. A peripheral transistor TR is formed in an N-type well. Another peripheral transistor TR is formed in a P-type well. The P-type well is by turn formed an N-type well and electrically insulated from the substrate. The substrate is typically provided with a metal back structure and its substrate voltage is set to predetermined voltages respectively for data erasure, data storage and data retrieval. With such an arrangement, the level of voltage stress with which the device is loaded during data erasure can be remarkably reduced to allow a down-sizing and an enhanced quality to be realized for the device.

    摘要: A voltage converter circuit has an input terminal for receiving an input binary signal and a gate for generating an output binary signal corresponding to the input binary signal. An output signal from the gate is supplied to a first input terminal of an inverter through a transistor and further to a second input terminal of the inverter directly, so as to immediately stabilize the output signal from the voltage converter circuit. The inverter inverts the input signal to a higher-voltage binary signal. When a voltage level of the higher-voltage binary signal reaches a given voltage level while the voltage level of the higher-voltage binary signal changes, a feedback circuit is operated to set the input signal supplied to the first input terminal of the inverter at a higher voltage.
