Abstract: PURPOSE: To prevent the occurrence of erase and change of contents of non- specified memory cells by providing a normally-open switch and a current generator to control a discharge current. CONSTITUTION: A memory cell 5 to be erased is specified. For performing the erasing, a programming voltage Vpp from a logical switch SW is connected to the cell to set a source line SRC a high voltage a normally-open switch 11 of control transistors M2 and M3 and an erase transistor M4. After completion of the erase stage, the line SRC has an erase voltage value higher than the high potential, which voltage is discharged to the ground. This causes a signal SL to be set at its high level, thus turning a switch I1 ON. This causes the voltage of the line SRC to be controlled by a current IS to continue slow discharging operation. In this way, since the discharging operation of the source line SRC is controlled to be gradually slow, the occurrence of erase/change of contents of the memory cells 5 other than the specified cell can be prevented.

Abstract: PURPOSE: To provide a power stage which can evade the loss of the accuracy of the circuit due to current absorption because a current is possibly absorbed at an output node of a circuit using a couple of Zener diodes connected reversely in parallel. CONSTITUTION: A bipolar transistor Q1 for decoupling the output node Vo of the power stage from a 2nd field effect transistor M2 is installed. When the Zener diodes D1 and D2 absorb a current Id, this current is supplied from the transistor Q1, which absorbs it from a high voltage node Vb.

Abstract: PURPOSE: To obtain the amplification state protecting circuit which is reduced in the total number of circuit elements, specially, sense circuits and therefore improved in the reliability of protection and decreased in the integration area of the circuit. CONSTITUTION: This circuit is provided with a circuit switching means G which is piloted by a logic OR gate F by a monostable M and generates a turn-on command signal with predetermined continuation duration in case of an abnormal operating conditions. After a sense circuit B which senses an abnormal state at a start or in the normal operation enables an AND gate H, a turn-off signal is sent through the OR gate. The signal of the AND gate arrives as a confirmation signal through an OR logic gate C from a window comparator A coupled with an amplification stage start member, a monostable flip-flop, and the output terminal of the AND gate H.

Abstract: PURPOSE: To reduce a chip area by unnecessitating any protection memory cell by forming a combined circuit for generating a signal for inhibiting the selection of any memory cell. CONSTITUTION: A non-volatile register 1 is formed from memory cells MC0-MCn and a redundant word line selection circuit 2. The cells MC0-MCn have output signals CMP0-CMPn to be activated when row address signals are coincident with memories. The selection circuit 2 inputs all the signals CM0-CMPn and generates signals RS0-RSi for selecting any one redundant line word and preventing the defective word line of which the address is coincident with the address stored in the register from being selected. Besides, a combined circuit 3 generates a signal DIS for inhibiting the selection circuit 2 from generating the signals RS0-RSi. The protection memory cell is unnecessitated by a redundant circuit formed from the selection circuit 2 and the combined circuit 3.
