Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a nonvolatile memory which can perform synchronous reading with a frequency higher than a frequency which can be used now for data stored in a nonvolatile memory and which is operated by a burst reading mode. SOLUTION: This nonvolatile memory (10) is provided with an input pin (2) receiving an external clock signal supplied by a user, an input buffer (4) receiving the external clock signal and supplying an intermediate clock signal relating to the external clock signal and being delayed, and a delayed lock loop (12) receiving the intermediate clock signal and supplying the intermediate clock signal distributed in the nonvolatile memory and synchronizing with the external clock signal substantially.

Abstract: PURPOSE: To provide a NOR flash type memory array corresponding to the programming of small current without changing any auxiliary element such a decode, sense and load devices. CONSTITUTION: Concerning a flash EEPROM memory array 35, asymmetric structure is provided by memory cells 36 having source areas composed of row/column style and connected to respective bit lines BL, source regions connected to common source lines BLS and control gate regions connected to respective work lines WL and in that asymmetric structure, either the source region or the drain region provides a high resistant section so that the cells in various areas can be programmed and erased. The memory array 35 includes a bias transistor 41 for preventing spurious writing by keeping the drain region and source region of cell connected to the bit line, to which any address is not designated, at the same potential when programming.

Abstract: A circuit for switching between supply voltages and in particular for non-volatile flash memory devices and of the type comprising a first and a second circuit branch each incorporating a pair of transistors (MA,MB;Mc,MD) connected in series provides that at least one branch (2) of the circuit be structured with a bridge circuit made up of P-channel MOS transistors. The bridge is made of a first (5) and a second (4) pairs of transistors (M1,M2,M3,M4) connected between a first supply voltage reference (SUPPLY1) and a common node (D). The first pair (5) comprises transistors (M1,M2) bigger than the transistors (M3,M4) of the second pair (4) while between the transistors (M3,M4) making up the second pair (4) is inserted a pair of resistors (R1,R2). Between the pair of resistors (R1,R2) there is an interconnection node (F) connected to a corresponding interconnection node (E) between the transistors (M1,M2) of the first pair (5).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of erasing an electrically programmable non-volatile memory device constructed as a multi-sector matrix memory and being of the type with an erase algorithm integrated into the device. The method comprises the following steps: erasing some or all of the matrix sectors in parallel; subsequently reading and checking each erased sector; storing the address of a sector being checked when the issue of a check is unfavorable; carrying out a fresh parallel erasing step; and starting a new reading/checking step from the sector that has checked unfavorably.
