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 invention relates to a method for erasing non-volatile memory cells, and to a corresponding non-volatile memory device of the programmable and electrically erasable type implementing the method, and comprising a memory cell array organized in a row-and-column layout, and divided in array sectors, including at least one row decode circuit portion being supplied positive and negative voltages. The method is applied whenever the issue of the erase algorithm is negative, and comprises the following steps: forcing an incompletely erased sector into a read condition; scanning the rows of said sector to check for the possible presence of a spurious current indicating a fail state; identifying and electrically isolating the failed row; re-addressing from said failed row to a redundant row provided in the same sector; re-starting the erase algorithm.

摘要： The device includes a circuit for sector remapping having a CAM (Content Addressable Memory) unit, associated to and in data communication with a multiplexer unit. The CAM unit detects that a sector is defective, it provides the pre-programmed address of a replacing sector and it activates the multiplexer which performs the replacement. The defective sectors and the corresponding locations of the address map are therefore advantageously positioned to the rear to the addressing area. The addressing area is consequently continuous, thus allowing the information to be easily stored and retrieved.
