    • A two-phase high voltage generator circuit is electronically reconfigurable to output positive (V.sub.Pp) or negative (V.sub.Pn) high voltage, depending upon whether positive or negative mode operation is selected. The circuit includes a plurality of series-connected charge multiplier stages that each comprises a MOS transistor and a charging capacitor. Collectively the stages define an anode node and a cathode node. One of two non-overlapping phase signals is coupled to the free end of each charging capacitor such that adjacent charging capacitors are driven by different phases. First and second two-way multiplexers (MUX1, MUX2) control voltages presented to the anode and cathode nodes, to determine whether circuit operation is positive or negative mode. The MOS devices may be PMOS or NMOS, and preferably Vt-cancellation is provided for each charging stage. A precharge/discharge circuit preferably is coupled to each voltage node including the load capacitor. Further, substrate-well protection is provided such that the MOS devices are less prone to exhibit voltage breakdown or substrate to source/drain current flow.
    • 根据是选择正还是负模式操作,两相高压发生器电路是电子可重新配置的,以输出正(VPp)或负(VPn)高电压。 电路包括多个串联连接的电荷倍增器级,每个级包括MOS晶体管和充电电容器。 这些阶段总共定义了阳极节点和阴极节点。 两个非重叠相位信号中的一个耦合到每个充电电容器的自由端,使得相邻的充电电容器由不同的相位驱动。 第一和第二双向多路复用器(MUX1,MUX2)提供给阳极和阴极节点的控制电压,以确定电路操作是正还是负模式。 MOS器件可以是PMOS或NMOS,并且优选地为每个充电阶段提供Vt消除。 预充电/放电电路优选地耦合到包括负载电容器的每个电压节点。 此外,提供衬底井保护,使得MOS器件不太容易出现电压击穿或衬底到源极/漏极电流。

    • An array of MOS memory cells having functionally symmetrical drain and source regions may be programmed and/or erased using low voltage, e.g., less than about 7V. In a NAND-type array, UV-erasure increases threshold voltage Vt to erase memory cell contents, and low voltage-low current hot-hole injection ("HHI") decreases Vt to program the memory cells. For NOR-type arrays, HHI decreases Vt to erase memory cell contents and channel-hot-electron ("CHE") injection increases Vt to program cell contents. Erase and program potentials are low (
    • 具有功能对称的漏极和源极区域的MOS存储器单元的阵列可以使用低电压(例如小于约7V)被编程和/或擦除。 在NAND型阵列中,UV擦除增加阈值电压Vt以擦除存储单元内容,而低电压 - 低电流热空穴注入(“HHI”)减小Vt以对存储单元进行编程。 对于NOR型阵列,HHI减小Vt以擦除存储单元内容,并且通道热电子(“CHE”)注入增加Vt以编程单元内容。 擦除和编程电位低(<7V),使得阵列可以在具有低压电路的公共IC上轻松制造。 由于HHI强烈收敛Vt,存储单元可能存储两个以上的数据值,这增加了单元存储密度。 电池对称性允许在电池耐久性变得太麻烦之前交换源的漏极,这种交换可以显着增加阵列的耐久寿命。 阵列可用作闪速存储器,如EPROM替换,或作为一次可编程存储器。

    • A flash memory with a high speed erasing structure includes a bank of flash transistors having a plurality of wordlines, a plurality of bitlines and a sourceline. A wordline decoder is coupled to the wordlines and configured to selectively apply voltages to the wordlines to perform procedures on the flash transistors, where the procedures include a read procedure, an erase procedure and a program procedure. During the erase procedure, the wordline decoder is configured to apply a first increasingly negative voltage in a first voltage range to at least one selected wordline until a first threshold voltage is met, then to apply a second increasingly negative voltage in a second voltage range to the selected wordline and to simultaneously apply a third negative voltage in a third voltage range to at least one deselected wordline. Another embodiment of the invention increases the selected sourceline voltage to achieve a high voltage differential between the gate and source of flash transistors selected to be erased. In another second embodiment, the wordline decoder is constructed from thin oxide and thick oxide semiconductor devices. Thick oxide devices are used in the wordline driver, which allows an increased voltage differential to be applied to the wordlines without damaging the wordline driver. Advantages of the invention include a fast erasing procedure due to the increased voltage differential applied between the gate and source of flash transistors selected to be erased.

    • A flash memory includes a flash transistor array, a wordline decoder, a bitline decoder, a sourceline decoder and a read/write controller. The read/write controller has a voltage terminal to receive an input voltage and a data terminal to receive a new data signal. A sense amplifier is coupled to the bitline decoder and configured to sense a signal on a selected bitline and to generate an internal old data signal. A data comparator is coupled to the data terminal and the sense amplifier and configured to compare the new data signal to the old data signal and to generate a comparator signal. A voltage generator is configured to selectively apply one of a read set of voltages to read a selected cell in the flash transistor array, a program set of voltages to program a selected cell and an erase set of voltages to erase a selected cell. In a multistate embodiment, the read/write controller further includes a step counter configured to generate a plurality of step counts. The voltage generator is coupled to the step counter and configured to generate a wordline high voltage (WLHV) signal based on the step count. The WLHV signal is delivered to a selected multistate cell by the wordline decoder to read the contents of the selected multistate cell. Each step compares the old data and the new data in order to determine which memory cells to change. Advantages of the invention include increased flexibility of programming and erasing and improved memory longevity.
