    Abstract: Flash memory devices include at least one flash memory array and an address compare circuit that is configured to indicate whether an applied row address associated with a first operation (e.g., program, erase) is within or without an unlock area of the at least one flash memory array. A control circuit is also provided. This control circuit is configured to block performance of the first operation on the flash memory array in response to detecting an indication from the address compare circuit that the applied row address is outside the unlock area of the flash memory array.

    Abstract: A nonvolatile memory device comprises a memory cell array, a row selection circuit and a voltage generator. The memory cell array comprises a first dummy memory cell, a second dummy memory cell, and a NAND string comprising a plurality of memory cells coupled in series between a string selection transistor and a ground selection transistor through the first dummy memory cell and the second dummy memory cell. During a read-out operation mode, a dummy read-out voltage is applied to a first dummy wordline coupled to the first dummy memory cell, and to a second dummy wordline coupled to the second dummy memory cell. The dummy read-out voltage has a lower magnitude than a read-out voltage applied to an unselected memory cell during the read-out operation mode.

    Abstract: A multi-level high voltage generator according to embodiments of the invention is capable of simultaneously generating high voltages of various levels by using one charge pump. The multi-level high voltage generator includes a charge pump unit, a voltage divider unit, and a pump control unit. The charge pump unit raises an input voltage applied at an input terminal to simultaneously output a number of high voltages having different levels. The voltage divider unit divides the voltages from the charge pump unit. The pump control unit operates according to an enable signal and generates pump control signals in response to a reference voltage, a control clock signal, and a divided voltage from the voltage divider unit. The charge pump unit generates the high voltages and is controlled by the pump control signals from the pump control unit.
