摘要： A band-gap reference voltage generator comprises an operational amplifier comprising a first input and a second input, the first input being coupled to a first feedback network and the second input being coupled to a second feedback network both coupled to an output of the operational amplifier providing a reference voltage. The first feedback network contains an emitter-base junction of first bipolar junction transistor and the second feedback network contains an emitter-base junction of second bipolar junction transistor. A selectively activated current supply supplies a bias current to the operational amplifier, the current supply being deactivatable in a substantially zero power consumption operating condition for turning the reference voltage generator off. A start-up circuit activated upon start-up of the reference voltage generator for a fixed, prescribed time interval forces a start-up current to flow through the first bipolar junction transistor means.

摘要： A method and related circuit for adjusting the duration of a pulse synchronization signal for the reading phase of memory cells in electronic memory devices which are integrated on semiconductors are discussed. The pulse synchronization signal is produced by a pulse generator when it detects a logical state commutation on at least one input terminal of a plurality of addressing input terminals of the memory cells. The method produces a logical sum between the signal produced by the generator and a pulse signal having a predetermined duration. The logical sum is used to start up the reading phase.

摘要： The memory device has a plurality of local boost circuits, each connected to a sector of the memory array, and each having a control circuit, at least a respective boost capacitor, and a respective drive circuit. Each drive circuit is only enabled in read mode, on receiving an address-transition-detect signal and a sector enabling signal, for reading memory cells forming part of the respective sector. The boost voltage is only supplied to the final inverter of the row decoder. A clamping diode limits the boost voltage to prevent undesired direct biasing of the PMOS transistors of the final inverters connected to the nonaddressed word lines. And the overvoltage is therefore only supplied locally when and where necessary.

摘要： The memory array comprises a plurality of cells, grouped together in sectors and arranged in sector rows and columns, and has both hierarchical row decoding and hierarchical column decoding. Global word lines are connected to at least two word lines in each sector, through local row decoders; global bit lines are connected to at least two local bit lines in each sector, through local column decoders. The global column decoder is arranged in the center of the memory array, and separates from each other an upper half and a lower half of the memory array. Sense amplifiers are also arranged in the middle of the array, thus saving space. This architecture also provides lesser stress of the cells, better reliability, and better production performance. In addition, each sector is completely disconnected from the remaining sectors, and only the faulty row or column of a single sector should be doubled.

摘要： The row decoder includes a predecoding stage supplied with row addresses and generating predecoding signals; and a final decoding stage, which, on the basis of the predecoding signals, drives the individual rows in the array. The predecoding stage includes a number of predecoding circuits presenting two parallel signal paths: a low-voltage path used in read mode, and a high-voltage path used in programming mode. A CMOS switch separates the two paths, is driven by high voltage via a voltage shifter in programming mode, and, being formed at predecoding level, involves no integration problems.
