Nonvolatile memory which can electrically rewrite stored information has in well regions plural nonvolatile memory cell transistors having drain electrodes and source electrodes respectively coupled to bit lines and source lines and gate electrodes coupled to word lines and storing information based on a difference between threshold voltages to a word line select level in read operation, and the nonvolatile memory has a low power consumption mode. In the low power consumption mode, a second voltage lower than a circuit ground voltage and higher than a first negative voltage necessary for read operation is supplied to the well regions and word lines. When boost forming a rewriting negative voltage therein, a circuit node at a negative voltage is not the circuit ground voltage in the low power consumption mode.

    Abstract: The present invention is directed to largely reduce peak current at the time of operation of a boosting circuit provided for an EEPROM. In the erase/write operation, first, a low-frequency clock signal as a selection clock signal is input by a low-frequency clock control signal to a charge pump. After lapse of a certain period (about ⅓ of fall time), a high-frequency clock signal having a frequency higher than that of the low-frequency clock signal is output by a high-frequency clock control signal and is input as the selection clock signal to the charge pump to boost a voltage to a predetermined voltage level. In such a manner, while suppressing the peak of consumption current, the fall time of the boosted voltage can be shortened.

    Abstract: An object of this invention is to provide a rewritable nonvolatile memory cell that can have a wide reading margin, and can control both a word line and a bit line by changing the level of Vcc. As a solution, a flip-flop is formed by cross (loop) connect of inverters including memory transistors that can control a threshold voltage by charge injection into the side spacer of the transistors. In the case of writing data to one memory transistor, a high voltage is supplied to a source of the memory transistor through a source line and a high voltage is supplied to a gate of the memory transistor through a load transistor of the other side inverter. In the case of erasing the written data, a high voltage is supplied to the source of the memory transistor through the source line.
