    Abstract: The present invention is a memory circuit for writing prescribed numbers of bits of write data, determined according to the burst length, in response to write command, comprising: a first stage for inputting, and then holding, row addresses and column addresses simultaneously with the write command; a second stage having a memory core connected to the first stage via a pipeline switch, wherein the row addresses and column addresses are decoded, and word line and sense amps are activated; a third stage for inputting the write data serially and sending the write data to the memory core in parallel; and a serial data detection circuit for generating write-pipeline control signal for making the pipeline switch conduct, after the prescribed number of bits of write data has been inputted. According to the present invention, in an FCRAM exhibiting a pipeline structure, the memory core in the second stage can be activated after safely fetching the write data in the burst length. When writing successively or reading successively, moreover, the command cycle can made short irrespective of the burst length.

    Abstract: Switching transistors 20, 22, 22P, 21, 23 and 23P and a portion of control circuit for transistors 20 and 21 constitutes a bit line reset circuit on memory cell side. In reading `H` from the memory cell connected to a bit line BLC or *BLC, the both bit lines are set at a higher reset potential Vii, while in reading `L`, the both bit lines are reset at a lower reset potential Vss. Transfer gates 10 and 11 are turned off before sufficient amplification of a potential difference between the bit lines BL and *BL. The operation of restoring into a memory cell read destructively from is performed in parallel with the operation of bit line reset.

    Abstract: A semiconductor memory includes a plurality of nonvolatile memory cells arranged in a matrix and coupled to control gate lines, selection gate lines, bit lines, and source lines, and includes a source line control unit. The source line control unit, at a time of program operation, sets one of the source lines coupled to a row of the memory cells including a program memory cell to a high level voltage, and sets at least one of the remaining source lines coupled to a row of a non-program memory cells to be higher than a low level voltage of the selection gate lines and to be lower than the high level voltage of an unselection bit line. Thereby, a leak current lowering a voltage of the source lines at the time of program operation can be blocked off, and a program operation time may be shortened.
