Definitions
- the DPB block 4 includes a latch circuit that latches start information according to information stored in the CAM 16.
- the CAM 16 is a nonvolatile memory, and is a cell of the same type as the cells in the memory cell array 2, for example, a flash memory cell.
- the latch circuit is composed of a volatile memory. This latch circuit holds protection information consisting of DPB bits corresponding to each sector.
- the latch circuit may latch the activation information for each sector, or may latch one activation information in a plurality of sectors.
- the POGEN circuit 15 causes the latch circuit in the DPB block 4 to latch the start information when the power supply voltage V CC is equal to or higher than the predetermined power supply voltage. Even if is input next time, the operation to cause the latch circuit of DPB block 4 to re-latch the start information is not performed. Thereby, useless operation can be eliminated.
- the circuit 24 operates similarly to the circuit 23. After the power is turned on, when the signal VCCOK changes from low to high, the signal P_OS becomes high for a certain period, and when this signal is input to the inverter 57, the PMOS transistor 62 turns on. At this time, WEXB_OS is Low, regardless of whether WEXB is High / Low, so that the NAND circuit 56 outputs High, turns on the PMOS transistor 63 via the inverter 58, and High is output to the latch circuit 65. Is set.
- the signal SET changes from high to low at the rise of WEXB from low to high.
- Signal SET When LATCHB goes High, the signal SET goes SLow.
- the signal WEXB changes from high to low
- the signal SETLATCHB does not change to low. Therefore, once the protection information is set / reset to the latch circuit 141, the latch circuit 65 of the circuit 24 in FIG. 4 is inverted, and the set / reset signal is not generated when the next command is issued.
- the protection information is used as an example.However, when the power is turned on, various operation modes of the device are frequently determined based on the read information of the CAM16. is there.
- the circuit 203 includes NAND circuits 240 and 241 and inverters 242 and 243.
- the signal GSELg is an internal sector decode signal for selecting one of 16 vertical blocks of 32 sectors.
- the signal HSELh is a signal for selecting 32 horizontal blocks, that is, an internal sector decode signal for selecting one of 32 sectors in the vertical block.
- the signal GSELDg is a vertical block This is an external sector decode signal for selecting a sector.
- the signal HSELDh is an external sector decode signal for selecting a horizontal block.
- the NAND circuit 240 performs NAND processing on the signal GSELg and the signal HSELh, and the inverter 242 inverts the input signal SELXB and outputs the signal SELX.
- This signal SELX is a signal unique to each sector. In other words, there are as many sectors as there are, and when a certain sector is selected, the signal SELX for that sector goes high.
- the signal is input to the NMOS transistor 205 and the NAND circuit 213 of the circuit 201, and is input to the NMOS transistor 220 and the NAND circuit 230 of the circuit 202.
- the signal SELXB of the NAND circuit 240 is input to the N ⁇ R circuit 214 of the circuit 201 and the NOR circuit 232 of the circuit 202.
- the output circuit 353 includes inverters 380 to 382, a NOR circuit 383, a PMOS transistor 384, and an NMOS transistor 385.
- the output circuit 354 includes inverters 390-392, a NOR circuit 393, a PMOS transistor 394, and an NMOS transistor 395.
- the output circuits 353 and 354 are provided in common to the plurality of latch circuits 352 (0) and 352 (31), and output the information latched in each of the latch circuits 352 (0) to 352 (31).
- the NAND circuit 440 receives an internal sector decode signal GSELg for selecting a vertical block composed of 32 sectors and a signal D-LOCK for setting a sector protect bit.
- the NAND circuit 440 performs NAND processing on the input signals GSELg and D_L ⁇ CK and inputs the signal SELXB to the inverter 442.
- Inverter 442 inverts signal SELXB and outputs signal LOCK for setting a protect bit.
- the output circuit 406 includes inverters 430 to 432, a NOR circuit 433, a PMOS transistor 434, and an NMOS transistor 435.
- An internal sector decode signal GSELg for selecting a vertical block composed of 32 sectors is input to the inverter 430 of the output circuit 406.
- LK (0) is High.
- the second inverter (with weak Pch) 431 receiving the signal GSELg outputs a high signal HSEL (0).
- the NMOS transistors 423 and 424 become ⁇ N, and the signal DPBqv is pulled low to the ground and goes Low.
- NMOS transistor 435 forces S ⁇ N, signal DPBOUTB goes low.
- the decode circuit 404 and the output circuit 406 are provided commonly to the latch circuits 405 (0) to 405 (31) corresponding to the sectors included in the predetermined vertical block.
- control circuit 10 determines that the address sequencer 11 sequentially generates the sector addresses from the sector SO to the sector Sn, and that the DPB circuit 304 and the sector latch circuit 305 correspond to the generated addresses each time. (This is called a search by an address sequencer) to determine whether erasure is possible, and then sequentially perform actual erasure on the sectors.
- the address sequencer 11 generates a sector address AO and searches DPB0 and SL0 (DPB0 corresponds to LK (0) and SL0 corresponds to Q (0)).
- the second inverter (with weak Pch) 381 that has received the signal GSELg outputs High power.
- the signal HSEL (l) and HSEL (3 1) change.
- the signal SLSBqv is pulled low to ground because Q (1) and Q (2) are high.
- the second inverter (with weak Pch) 431 receiving the signal GSELg Is high, but during this time, when the signals HSEL (0) and HSEL (2) are selected, the signal DPBqv is strongly pulled to ground because LK (0) and LK (2) are high. Being Low (this 7
- the control circuit 10 receives the signal indicating that the signal DPBOUTB has the rewrite protection, and does not erase the sector S2 (even if the signal SLSB indicates the erase). Subsequently, the address sequencer 11 generates the next sector address, repeats the same operation up to sector n, and completes a series of erase operations.
