Abstract: An integrated programming circuitry for an electrically programmable semiconductor memory device comprises a plurality of programming load circuits (PLOAD0-PLOAD15), each one associated to a respective memory matrix portion (OD0-OD15) or group of columns (BL), and a plurality of programming load control circuits (CNT0-CNT15), each one controlling the activation of one respective programming load circuit (PLOAD0-PLOAD15) according to the logic state of a respective data line (D0-D15) carrying a datum to be programmed; the memory device comprises a group (RB) of redundancy bit lines (RBL) and an associated redundancy programming load circuit (PLOADR); each programming load control circuit (CNT0-CNT15) comprises decoding means (7) supplied with signals (OC0-OC3,OC0N-OC3N) which, when a defective column address (COLADD) is supplied to the memory device during programming, are generated from a matrix portion identifying code (OC0'-OC3') stored in a non-volatile register (RR) wherein the defective column address (COLADD) is stored, and switch means (SW,6) responsive to a decoded signal (ROUT) at the output of said decoding means (7) to enable the activation of the redundancy programming load circuit (PLOADR) according to the logic state of the data signal line (D0-D15) and to cause the inhibition of the activation of the respective programming load circuit (PLOAD0-PLOAD15).

Abstract: A voltage booster (1) comprising a charge pump (2) for generating a boost voltage (Vboost) over a boost line (3). The booster comprises a comparator (6) which is supplied by a voltage divider (5) with a voltage V1 proportional to the boost voltage (Vboost), and by a reference source (4) with a low reference voltage, and which, depending on the outcome of the comparison, enables or disables the charge pump (2). A voltage limiter (8) is connected between the boost line (3) and ground; and a boost circuit (7) accelerates the voltage increase on the boost line following low-power operation in which the paths toward ground are interrupted for reducing consumption.

Abstract: A voltage-boosted phase oscillator for driving a voltage multiplier comprises two intermeshed ring oscillators, each composed by an odd number of inverters connected in cascade through a closed loop and generating a normal phase and a voltage-boosted phase derived from the normal phase through a bootstrap circuit. The frequency of oscillation of both intermeshed ring oscillators is established by means of two similar RC networks common to both loops. The synchronization of the respective oscillations of the two rings is ensured by means of a plurality of SR flip-flops connected in cascade, formed by two NAND gates which, singularly, constitute as many inverters of the two rings. The oscillation and the arresting of the oscillation are controlled by means of a logic signal fed to a common input of a first pair of NAND gates which constitute respectively a first inverter of the relative ring oscillator and to a second input of which the phase produced by the relative ring oscillator is fed.
