Abstract: An output stage (1) for electronic circuits (2) with high voltage tolerance and of the type comprising an output buffer made up of a complementary transistor pair (Pu,Nu) comprising a P-channel MOS pull-up transistor (Pu) and an N-channel MOS pull-down transistor. The transistors are connected together to make up an output terminal (U) of the stage which comprises in addition a switch (6) having an input (8) connected to the output terminal (U) of the stage and an output (9) connected to the control terminal of the pull-up transistor to drive said control terminal in a state of extinction of the output buffer.

Abstract: A regulating circuit for discharging non-volatile memory cells (5) in an electrically programmable memory device, of the type which comprises: at least one switch connected between a programming voltage reference (VPP) and a line (SCR) shared by the source terminals of the transistors forming said memory cells (5), and at least one discharge connection between said common line (SCR) to the source terminals and a ground voltage reference (GND), further comprises a second connection to ground of the line (SCR) in which a current (Is) generator (G) is connected and a normally open switch (I1). Also provided is a logic circuit (3) connected to the line (SRC) to compare the voltage value present on the latter with a predetermined value, and to output a control signal for causing the switch (I1) to make. This solution allows a slow discharging phase of the line (SRC) to be effected at the end of the erasing phase.

Abstract: A voltage boost device includes a first boost stage (4) and a second boost stage (5) connected to an input terminal and to an output terminal (10), the output terminal (10) supplying an output voltage higher than a supply voltage. The input terminal receives an operating condition signal (SB) having a first logic level representative of a standby operating state and a second logic level representative of an active operation state. The first boost stage (4) is enabled in presence of the second logic level of the operating condition signal (SB), and is disabled in presence of the first logic level of the operating condition signal (SB); the second boost stage (5) is controlled in a first operating condition in presence of the first logic level of the operating condition signal (SB), and is controlled in a second operating condition in presence of the second logic level of the operating condition signal (SB).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of recovering faulty non-volatile memories. This method can be applied to an electrically programmable semiconductor non-volatile memory device being set up as a multi-sectors memory matrix and including selection circuitry for selecting words or individual bytes of the memory. According to this method, the memory matrix is addressed by byte, rather than by memory word, by acting said selection circuitry, whenever the device fails an operation test. The use of a Hamming code of error correction to remedy malfunctions due to manufacture allows the method to be applied to those devices which fail their test and would otherwise be treated as rejects.
