Abstract

See full text

A flash memory is operable using a single power supply voltage. In this flash memory, an internal booster circuit boosts the supply voltage to generate a write voltage higher than the supply voltage. A row decoder is connected to word lines, which are connected to memory cells. Upon reception of an address signal, the row decoder selects a word line specified by this address signal. A row-line clamp circuit, which is connected to the internal booster circuit and the word lines, supplies the write voltage to a word line selected at the time of data writing, and drops the write voltage and supplies it to the selected word line at the time of write verify.
