    Abstract: PURPOSE: To set a timing accurately while suppressing noise by loading a simulate signal to an output simulation circuit through a switch subjected to required control and resetting a simulate generation circuit in response to the variation of simulate signal. CONSTITUTION: Upon provision of a sync signal SYNC, a simulate signal SP is generated from the simulate signal generator 34 of delay FF and a load block signal SS makes a transition to L through a switch 35 opened by a load enable signal L before being loaded to an unblocked output simulation circuit 21. When the signal SP is inverted to 'L', output is inverted to H through a NAND gate 30 and an inverter 32 and the generator 34 is reset instantaneously through a monostable multivibrator 33. On the other hand, a signal SS is inverted to H and loading to the circuit 21 is blocked. According to the circuitry, loading of signal and blocking of loading are controlled accurately and the effect of noise due to housing is suppressed.

    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: There is described a semiconductor memory comprising a matrix of lines and columns of memory cells, wherein the columns (BL) are grouped together in sectors, each sector representing the portion of the matrix itself related to a data input/output line. Each sector is in turn divided into packets (1) of columns, and there are redundancy columns (BLR) suitable for replacing a matrix column (BL) containing defective memory cells. Each of the redundancy columns (BLR) is included in a respective packet (1). The memory also comprises control circuits (5,6,7) to execute the abovementioned replacement.
