    摘要: A method and apparatus for regulating voltages in semiconductor devices. Trim bits are stored in a trim flash array, where the trim bits define a voltage value and where the voltage value is accessible once a control signal representing a word line signal is provided to the trim flash array reaches a selected voltage level. A refresh signal is provided to a voltage regulator in response to the control signal reaching the selected level, causing the voltage regulator to change its regulation value to that defined by the trim bits. A signal at a voltage level represented by the voltage value is provided to a memory array that is accessed based on the provided signal.

    摘要: An erase discharge circuit in a flash memory is coupled to an array source and a p-well drive and receives first and second discharge signals. The erase discharge circuit operates during a discharge cycle in a first mode in response to the first discharge signal to couple the first node to the second node and to discharge voltages on the first and second nodes at a first rate. The erase discharge circuit operates in a second mode in response to the second discharge signal to couple the first node to the second node to discharge the voltages on the first and second nodes at a second rate.

    摘要: A memory device has a segmented memory cell array that take a row address and a column address and allows for data words in a column page to be read internally in parallel for faster access. The memory device employs a segmented memory array that routes column address and column address+1 to the segments. This allows for a random starting data word in the column page, while the data words in the next column page (column address+1) are loaded into the memory array segments before the starting data word. When the data page mode or linear burst access crosses a column address boundary the next data words in column address+1 are available and no wait states need to be asserted to allow for new column address values to propagate.

    摘要: A non-volatile memory generates a pump voltage from a voltage source, which is typically a charge pump circuit or alternative source. The memory includes a non-volatile memory array having a plurality of memory cells. The pump voltage is utilized to erase or program the floating gate memory cells. After the non-volatile memory device completes an erase or programming operation, the pump voltage source is disabled. A discharge control circuit gradually discharges all of, or the initial component of, a remaining programming voltage charge to ground. The discharge control circuit, therefore, reduces noise caused by a large discharge current spike in the non-volatile memory device.
