摘要： A plurality of memory cells corresponding to an address space larger than 2n and smaller than 2(n+1), an invalid address detecting circuit, and an invalid signal outputting circuit are comprised. Upon command input, the invalid address detecting circuit invalidates a command in the case where the invalid address detecting circuit detects a fact that an address signal supplied from exterior indicates an invalid address space. Therefore, at the time of invalid address supply, internal circuits are not activated and an erroneous write or erase operation can be prevented. Since the internal circuits do not operate, power consumption can be reduced substantially. The invalid signal outputting circuit outputs an invalid signal by receiving the fact of invalid address signal detection by the invalid address detecting circuit. Therefore, a system unit mounting the semiconductor memory device can easily recognize that the invalid address signal has been supplied to the semiconductor memory device. As a result, a malfunctioning can be prevented and reliability of the system unit improves.

摘要： Binary bit addresses for error detection designating the individual bits of multilevel memory cells for retaining two bits of data, respectively, are assigned so that pairs of the binary bit addresses corresponding to each of the memory cells are mutually exclusive in each digit. For each digit of the binary bit addresses, first parity codes including a parity code of data corresponding to all the binary bit addresses having “0” in the digit and a parity code of data corresponding to all the binary bit addresses having “1” in the digit are generated for both write data and read data. The presence of a memory cell storing erroneous data in both bits is detected when all the first parity codes of the read data are different from the first parity codes of the write data. Thus, the multilevel cell memory can perform reliable error detection/correction by a simple method.

摘要： A data buffer of a memory controller receives first program data, whose size is smaller than that of a page buffer, from a system, and holds the received data. A data adding circuit of the memory controller adds mask data to the first program data, to generate second program data whose size is equal to that of the page buffer. Since the mask data are not programmed to memory cells, only the first program data, which are supplied from the system, are programmed to pages of a nonvolatile semiconductor memory. Namely, even when the size of the page buffer of the nonvolatile semiconductor memory is large, it is possible to maintain interchangeability with an exiting system only by using the memory controller of the present invention.

摘要： In a memory card which includes a memory chip and a controller connected to the memory chip for the control of transferring a data from outside, the controller is provided with a buffer in which data is temporarily stored. In a first operation mode, the controller clears the data stored in the buffer after the data in the buffer is transferred to the memory chip. In a second operation mode, the controller does not clear the data stored in the buffer even after the data in the buffer is transferred to the memory chip. By the use of these modes, it becomes possible to write the data obtained by means of external transfer into the memory chip repeatedly for a plurality of times by means of internal transfer. Thus, it becomes unnecessary to repeat external transfer and internal transfer every time.
