    摘要: A collective erasure type nonvolatile semiconductor memory device which allows use of redundant structure to word lines is provided. A row address buffer having address converting function simultaneously selects a plurality of physically adjacent word lines from a memory array in programming before erasure. Programming before erasure is effected on the memory cells on the simultaneously selected word lines. Even when physically adjacent word lines are short-circuited between each other, programming high voltage can be transmitted to the defective word lines, as these word lines are selected simultaneously. Therefore, the memory cells on the defective word lines can be programmed before erasure, so that over erasure at the time of collective erasing operation can be prevented. Thus, redundant structure for replacing defecting word lines by spare word lines can be utilized.

    摘要: Disclosed is a flash EEPROM including a voltage lowering circuit therein for lowering an externally applied high voltage serving as a source of an erase pulse to a predetermined voltage in a range in which a tunnel phenomenon sufficiently occurs in memory cells. The voltage lowered by the voltage lowering circuit is converted into a pulse of a small width, and the converted pulse is then applied as an erase pulse to the memory cells. A flash EEPROM including a memory cell array divided into first and second blocks is also disclosed. An erase pulse applying circuit for applying the voltage lowered by the voltage lowering circuit as an erase pulse to the memory cells, and an erase verify circuit for erase verifying are provided for each of the first and second blocks. The erase pulse applying circuit and the erase verify circuit corresponding to the first block and the ones corresponding to the second block are configured to operate independently.

    摘要: In a semiconductor integrated circuit such as a semiconductor memory device capable of operating in a special mode in addition to a standard operation mode, a high voltage detection circuit 10 detects a high voltage applied to one of control signal input terminals CS and outputs a detection signal HV to a special mode circuit 14. The special mode circuit 14 outputs a switch signal CO to a switching circuit 11 in response to the detection signal HV. The switching circuit 11 connects an input/output buffer 7 to a latch circuit 12 in response to the switch signal CO. A special mode code MC is applied to input/output terminals DT and transmitted to the latch circuit 12 through the switching circuit 11. A special mode decoder 13 decodes the special mode code MC which has been latched by the latch circuit 12 and outputs a signal for specifying the special mode to a control circuit 8. Operation in the special mode specified by the control circuit 8 is executed. By detecting a confirmation signal CS applied to one of the control signal input terminals CS during the execution of the special mode, the special mode code MC which has been already latched by the latch circuit 12 can be outputted from the input/output terminals DT.

    摘要: A plurality of memory cell transistors having floating gates are disposed in a matrix in the direction of row and column to form a memory cell array. The memory cell array is divided into a plurality of sectors for every predetermined row. In each sector, sector selecting transistors and sub bit lines are provided, so that erasing and programming can be made for each sector. Therefore, total erasing for sector becomes possible, and since no voltage is applied to sub bit lines and word lines of non-selected sectors, the number of operations of preventing writing into non-selected memory cells is as many as the word lines included in one sector.
