摘要： A method and apparatus are provided for high performance, high voltage memory operations on selected memory cells (200) of a semiconductor memory device (100). A high voltage generator (106) during program or erase operations provides a continuous high voltage level (702) on selected word lines (502) and maintains a continuous high voltage level supply to a bit line decoder (120) which sequentially provides the high voltage level (706) to a first portion of bit lines (504) and discharges (708) those bit lines (504) before providing the high voltage level to a second portion (710). For additional improvements to program operations, the high voltage generator (106) decouples high voltages provided to the word lines (502) and the bit lines (504) by providing a current flow control device (1208) therebetween and provides a boosting voltage at a time (1104) to overcome a voltage level drop (1102) resulting from a capacitor load associated with selected bit lines (504) and/or the bit line decoder (120) precharges (1716) a second portion of the bit lines (504) while providing a high voltage level to a first portion to program (1706) a first portion of memory cells (200). For improvements to read operations, whether dynamic reference cells (2002) are blank is determined by providing non-identically regulated high voltage levels from a first voltage source (2112) to the dynamic reference cells (2002) and from a second voltage source (2104) to static reference cells (2004) and, if the dynamic reference cells (2002) are not blank, reads selected memory cells (200) by providing identically regulated high voltage levels to the selected memory cells (200), the dynamic reference cells (2002) and the static reference cells (2004).

摘要： A method and apparatus are provided for improved noise reduction from switching on and off drain pumps (202) in a high voltage generator. The drain pumps (202) are divided into groups (204) and activation of the groups (204) of drain pumps (202) is staggered (304, 310).

摘要： A method and apparatus are provided for improved power conservation in a semiconductor device (100) which includes a high voltage generating circuit (200) such as a drain pump. The operation frequency of the drain pump (200) is controlled in response to the high voltage level detected at the output thereof. In addition, highly efficient operation of the drain pump (200) can be achieved by enabling and disabling the drain pump (200) in response to the high voltage level to provide an output signal at a relatively constant high voltage level. The drain pump (200) is enabled in response to a high voltage detector (202, 402, 502) detecting a high voltage level lower than a first predetermined voltage level and is disabled in response to detecting a voltage level higher than a second predetermined voltage level, the second predetermined voltage level being higher than the first predetermined voltage level.

摘要： A voltage regulator is provided. The voltage regulator provides an output voltage that is proportional to a digital multi-bit select signal. The voltage regulator includes a coarse voltage regulator and a fine voltage regulator. The coarse voltage regulator provides a coarse output voltage based on an output of a voltage divider selected based on the most significant bits of the select signal. The fine voltage regulator provides the output voltage from the coarse output voltage. The output of the fine voltage regulator is adjusted by adjusting the output of an adjustable current source that is provided to a resistor that is coupled between the output and one of the inputs of the fine voltage regulator.
