    摘要: A nonvolatile memory apparatus which includes plural memories one of which is a nonvolatile memory such as a Flash EEPROM capable of being specified a plurality of operations from a processing unit of the apparatus including an erase operation, the erase operation in the nonvolatile memory performs a threshold voltage moving operation and a verify operation, and the nonvolatile memory is capable of releasing the I/O bus during the erase operation to thereby allow accessing of other memories and/or system components. For example, during this erase operation, the Flash EEPROM is able to free the I/O data terminal such that the EEPROM becomes electrically isolated from the CPU. The CPU is then able to perform data processing by the system bus where information can then be transferred/received such as between other memories, e.g., ROM and RAM, and otherwise with the I/O port.

    摘要: An EEPROM having an erasing control circuit that performs at least the read out operation one time on the corresponding memory cells after an erasing operation is performed in connection therewith. The erasing operation is automatically performed by the internal erasing control circuit while the EEPROM is electrically isolated from the microprocessor in response to instructions from the microprocessor. The control by the microprocessor requires only a slightly short period of time during which the erasing commencement is instructed while the EEPROM remains in the system during the erasing operation. In one aspect of the disclosure, a Vcc power source is applied to a source region or a drain region of each nonvolatile semiconductor memory cell, and an erasure voltage having a polarity opposite to that of the Vcc power source is applied to a control gate electrode.

    摘要: Within an EEPROM having a memory array in which the electrically erasable nonvolatile storage elements are arranged in a matrix form, an erasing control circuit is included, which performs at least the read out operation one time on the corresponding memory cells after an erasing operation is performed in connection therewith in accordance with externally supplied erasing operation instructions. The erasing operation is automatically performed by the internal erasing control circuit while the EEPROM is electrically isolated from the microprocessor in response to instructions from the microprocessor. The control by the microprocessor requires only a slightly short period of time during which the erasing commencement is instructed while the EEPROM remains in the system during the erasing operation. In one aspect of the present invention, a Vcc power source is applied to a source region or a drain region of each nonvolatile semiconductor memory cell, and an erasure voltage having a polarity opposite to that of the Vcc power source is applied to a control gate electrode. The erasure voltage is supplied to a voltage conversion circuit provided within the nonvolatile memory device. Accordingly, erasure operation can be realized by the Vcc single power source. Further, substantial terminals of the collective erasure operation are individually controlled for every memory element or every collective memory element in response to the individual erasure speed of each memory element.

    摘要: Guide roller units are made movable back and forth in the direction of thickness of a slab, allowing slab lagging covers to be inserted to and withdrawn from gaps formed between the guide roller units and the slab. Depending on the casting speed, those ones of the guide roller units and the slab lagging covers which are in proper positions are replaced from one to the other for selective use so that the respective lengths of a cooling zone and a heat keeping zone are adjusted to control the cooling rate of the slab in a positive manner. The slab temperature can be kept at a value capable of carrying out rolling regardless of change in the casting speed depending on variations in the amount of molten steel supplied.
