    摘要: A synchronous semiconductor memory device capable of improving substantial transfer rate is provided. In response to a write command immediately following an act command, a control signal generating circuit applies an inactive enable signal to a read preamplifier & write buffer. In response to a write command and a precharge command, the control signal generating circuit generates an active enable signal, and the read preamplifier & write buffer writes the data stored in an FIFO to a memory cell. As late write is not performed upon reception of a write command immediately following an act command, erroneous writing of data to a not intended address can be prevented.

    摘要: The constant current generating circuit includes a high resistance element for generating a very small current. This very small current is supplied to a first MOS transistor having a sufficiently large gate width to gate length ratio. The gate-source voltage of the first MOS transistor becomes its threshold voltage VTH, and the voltage applied across a resistance connected between the gate of the first MOS transistor and the ground line is set to a constant value VTH. Thus, a constant current is normally passed through the resistance. Since the very small current is supplied from the high resistance element which is normally turned on, regardless of the change of the power supply voltage, a constant current can be generated stably.

    摘要: The present invention provides a non-volatile memory capable of realizing erase/write operations in sufficiently small division units while suppressing an increase in chip area to the minimum, and shortening an erase time. Two of a physical erase state and a logical erase state are provided as threshold voltage distribution states of each memory cell. In the logical erase state, a threshold voltage criterion of the memory cell is shifted to a state higher than the physical erase state. When data rewriting of the memory cell placed in the physical erase state is performed, a logical erase is performed and the threshold voltage criterion is shifted to a high voltage level. The logical erase simply shifts the voltage level of the threshold voltage criterion. Since an electrical charge accumulated in the memory cell is not moved, erasing can be done at high speed and in a short period of time.

    摘要: In a flash memory, after an initial write operation ends, each bit line associated with a memory cell subjected to a write is precharged and each bit line associated with a memory cell that is not subjected to the write is discharged and verified to detect a memory cell low in threshold voltage and a memory cell thus detected is subjected to an additional write. The verification can be verified without being affected by a current flowing through the memory cell that is not subjected to the write. All memory cells can have their respective threshold voltages set accurately.

    摘要: A ring oscillator according to the invention includes a plurality of inverters cascade-connected between an input node and an output node. Each inverter includes four transistors connected in series between a power supply node and a ground node. A first pair of transistors each have a channel sized to have an input capacitance for delaying the signal of a preceding stage inverter for a prescribed time period. A second pair of transistors are coupled to a current mirror circuit and limits current flowing through the first pair of transistors. Thus, power consumption for obtaining a signal in a prescribed cycle is reduced.

    摘要: A plurality of unit integrated circuits mounted on a large-scale integrated circuit device, for example, a wafer scale memory, are each provided with a bypass circuit which selectively shorts input and output nodes in the corresponding unit integrated circuit. By selectively bringing the bypass circuit into a transfer state, it is possible to effectively couple together all unit integrated circuits which are judged to be normal among a plurality of unit integrated circuits disposed along one row, for example. Improved redundancy arrangements are also provided, including first and second redundant elements for the unit integrated circuits, to effectively utilize the normal elements in the unit integrated circuits. Further, an improved arrangement for hierarchically connecting together the outputs of all the unit circuit blocks is provided which reduces the signal line load for the memory device.
