    摘要: Two paths for receiving the outputs of a logic select circuit LOGS are individually equipped in a symmetric manner with output MOSFETs Q52 and Q53, feedback MOSFETs Q54 and Q55 and isolating MOSFETs Q56 and Q57, the paired of which have conduction types different from each other. Negative erasing Vee voltage and programming Vpp voltage to be fed to the paths through the feedback MOSFETs are prevented without fail from being transmitted to a logic select circuit by the paired isolating MOSFETs of the different conduction types. As the elements for selecting the positive or negative logic output of the logic select circuit, CMOS transfer gates TG1 and TG2 can be adopted to maximize the amplitude of the output logic signal of the logic select circuit with respect to an operating power.

    摘要: A semiconductor memory (1), having a plurality of memory blocks (2 and 3) provided with a plurality of memory cells, a data input/output buffer (7), and first control means (11) for controlling the rewriting and reading of data for the memory cells is provided with first storage means (30) for designating defective memory blocks and detection means (32) for detecting an access to a defective memory block designated by the first storage means in accordance with an address signal. When the detection means detects an access to a defective memory, the first control means inhibits the data rewrite operation for an instruction for a data rewrite operation and inhibits the output of data from the input/output buffer for the data read operation. The inhibiting function makes it possible to provide a memory device having compatibility with a non-defective semiconductor memory only by combining semiconductor memories having irremediable defects without fixing the levels of specific address input terminals so as to keep the defective memory blocks non-selective.
