Abstract: PURPOSE: To obtain a voltage booster for a nonvolatile memory. CONSTITUTION: The voltage booster 1 comprises a charge pump 2 for generating a boost voltage Vboost on a boost line 3. The booster includes a voltage divider 5 to which a voltage V1 proportional to the boost voltage Vboost is applied, and also includes a comparator 6 to which a reference power 4 having a low reference voltage is applied, so that the charge pump 2 is put in its enable or disable state depending on a comparison result. A voltage limiter 8 is connected between the boost line 3 and ground. Further, a boost circuit 7 accelerates a voltage increase when the boost line is operated with low power, but a bus leading to the ground is made short to provide less power consumption.

Abstract: PURPOSE: To obtain an integrated programming circuit having redundancy by enabling the drive of a redundant programming load circuit according to the logical state of a data line through a switch circuit in response to a decoded output signal and inhibiting the drive of the other programming load circuit. CONSTITUTION: When a defective column address COLADD is supplied to a memory device, signals (OCO-OC3 and OCON-OC3N) are outputted from the identification code of a matrix part stored in a non-volatile register RR where this defective column address COLADD is stored. The output signals are supplied to a NAND gate 7 and in response to the output signal of the NAND gate 7, a switch circuit 6 enables the drive of a redundant programming load circuit PLOADR according to the logical state of a data line (DO-D15). At the same time, the gate 7 inhibits the drive of another programming load circuit (PLOADO-PLOAD15) through the switch circuit 6.

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.
