    Abstract: A non-volatile memory element with dual programmable cells and associated read circuit, which comprises a circuit (LATCH) of the bistable type connected between the two memory cells, to which it is coupled through first and second switching circuit elements (SW1, SW2). Such switching elements enable a single initial write step by one of the two memory cells only, and thereafter, enable connection of the clear cell and the programmed cell to the bistable circuit.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a circuit structure (1) for reading data contained in an electrically programmable/erasable integrated non-volatile memory device, comprising a matrix (2) of memory cells (3) and at least one reference cell (4) for comparison with a memory cell (3) during a reading phase. The reference cell (4) is incorporated in a reference cells sub-matrix (5) which is structurally independent of the matrix (2) of memory cells (3). Also provided is a conduction path between the matrix (2) and the sub-matrix (5), which path includes bit lines (b1ref) of the submatrix (5) of reference cells (4) extended continuously into the matrix (2) of memory cells (3)

    Abstract: A method for reading a synchronous multilevel non-volatile memory with cell addresses which define a pair of memory cells on different planes of the multilevel memory and plane addresses which define the plane on which the memory cell defined by a memory cell address is to be read, its peculiarity being the fact that it comprises the steps of: switching the plane address (Az) a preset time interval after the switching of a memory address (Ax, Ay) and at the highest possible switching frequency; and reading in output from the memory the content of a memory location which corresponds to the memory address on planes alternatively indicated by the switching of the plane address.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a semiconductor integrated, storage circuit device (MEM) having at least a first enable terminal (CE) for enabling the device (MEM), and a first number of address terminals (A0-A19) for inputting an external address (EA) formed of a corresponding first number of bits (A0-A19). It comprises a plurality (MTX) of data storage elements which are addressable by an internal address (IA) formed of a second number of bits (A0-A20) larger than said first number, and further comprises address storage elements (BF1) which are coupleable with their inputs to said first enable terminal (CE) for storing additional address bits (A20); thus, the internal address (IA) is comprised of the external address (EA) and the additional address bits (A20).

    Abstract: A process for manufacturing an integrated circuit provides for the formation of a matrix of floating-gate non-volatile memory cells having dual polysilicon levels, with the two polysilicon levels being isolated by a gate dielectric layer (4) and an interpoly dielectric layer (9) therebetween, and for the concurrent formation of one type of thick-oxide transistor (7) in peripheral zones to the matrix. The process of the invention provides for removal, during the step of defining the first-level polysilicon (5) in order to form the floating-gate structures of the memory cells, of the polysilicon (5) from the active area zone of the thick-oxide transistor (7), so that the gate oxide of the transistor (7) results from the superposition of said first (4) and second (9) dielectric layers.
