The control logic circuit is responsive to the monitoring signal and the reset signal for generating a logic control signal which is initially in a high state. The differential comparator is responsive to the control signal and is activated only after the power supply voltage has exceeded a predetermined level so as to maintain initially the reset signal on its output in the low state. The output of the differential comparator is forced to a high state after the monitoring signal has reached a low state and the start-up signal exceeds the reference voltage. Logic and/or memory circuitry (18) is provided which responds to the reset signal so as to force its outputs to a known logic state.

摘要： An improved over-erased bit correction structure is provided for performing a correction operation on over-erased memory cells in an array of flash EEPROM memory cells after erase operation so as to render high endurance. Sensing circuitry (20) is used to detect column leakage current indicative of an over-erased bit during an APDE mode of operation and for generating a logic signal representative of data stored in the memory cell. A data input buffer circuit (26) is used to compare the logic signal and a data signal representative of data programmed in the memory cell so as to generate a bit match signal. A pulse counter (30) is coupled to the data input buffer circuit for counting a plurality of programming pulses applied thereto. The data input buffer circuit selectively connects only certain ones of the columns of bit lines to the pulse counter in which the bit match signal is at a high logic level so as to program back over-erased memory cells connected to only the certain ones of the columns of bit lines.
