    摘要: In response to a plurality of address signal input from the outside in sequence, an erase information inputting section controls an erase information holding section corresponding to the batch erase block to be erased so as to hold an erase information data. By repeating this operation in sequence, the erase information data are stored in the erase information holding sections corresponding to the plural batch erase blocks to be erased. Successively, on the basis of the erase information data stored in the erase information holding sections, block erasing sections are activated to erase all the nonvolatile memory cells of each of the corresponding blocks where the erase information data are held. As a result, the erasure operation is achieved for all the batch erase blocks corresponding to the erase information holding sections in each of which the erase information data is held, so that a plurality of batch erase blocks can be erased simulataneously, thus reducing the erasure time, as compared with the prior art memory device.

    摘要: A non-volatile semiconductor memory device has writing part (203, 205, 209) for writing data in a non-volatile memory cell in response to a write pulse, readout part (419) for reading out data stored in the memory cell, and verification part (207, 210; 417) for verifying to ensure that normal writing has been completed by reading data from the memory cell after each writing. The device repeats writings unless a normal writing can be confirmed by the verification part. At this time, the writing part can vary writing time and in a part of a sequence of repeating writing unless a normal writing can be confirmed, it sets writing time longer for the next writing action than that for one writing action. Since this setting is performed according to constant multiplication, constant increment, or constant multiplication of accumulated value, necessary time for obtaining normal data write can be reduced.

    摘要: Data latch circuits are provided corresponding to select memory cells from or into which read or program is executed. The data latch circuits are grouped by two into sets. When 2-bit data is read from or programmed into the select memory cells, one data latch circuit is selected by a select signal, and, when 1-bit data is read or programmed, the two data latch circuits in one set are selected by a select signal. Between one or two selected data latch circuits and a data input/output buffer, data is exchanged. By so doing, changeover between 2-level data and multi-level (4-level or more-level) data concerning program or read of data into or out the memory cells becomes possible.

    摘要: According to the present invention, a voltage level for boosting a writing voltage to be supplied to memory cells of a memory cell array, and writing time are optimized in consideration of writing efficiency and a distribution of threshold voltage. A boosting circuit boosts the writing voltage to be supplied to memory cells. A counter counts the number of writing times in accordance with a signal of a timer. The timer outputs the signal used to count the number of writing times at a fixed interval from a first writing time until an arbitrary writing time in counting a predetermined number of writing times by the counter and to count the number of writing times at an interval when the number of writing times is gradually increased after the arbitrary writing time in order to control supplying time of the writing voltage to the memory cells. Additionally, a voltage control circuit gradually divides a boost level due to the boosting circuit in accordance with the arbitrary number of writing times until the writing voltage reaches a predetermined upper limit, and maintains the writing voltage when the writing voltage reaches the predetermined upper limit.

    摘要: A plurality of memory cell arrays Array0, Array1, Array2, Array3, Array4, Array5, Array6 and Array7 which can perform a parallel operation are arranged in a later generation chip. Each of the memory cell arrays Array0 and Array4, the memory cell arrays Array1 and Array5, the memory cell arrays Array2 and Array6, and the memory cell arrays Array3 and Array7 constitutes one cell array group. A Pass/Fail signal indicative of success or failure of the operation is outputted in accordance with each cell array group. It is good to make the number of cell array groups equal to the number of memory cell arrays or the number of cell array groups of a precedent generation chip.
