Abstract: In a memory block that is to be subjected to an erasure operation, voltage of the ground level is selectively supplied to only one word line. By applying an erasure pulse to a source line, memory cell transistors have their threshold voltages shifted. As to another word line, a pulse of a positive voltage is supplied in synchronization to the application of an erasure pulse to the source line. Another group of memory cell transistors do not have their threshold voltages shifted.

Abstract: A memory mat is provided separately from a memory mat that is a normal memory area, and data therein cannot be read from the outside. In a page buffer, information input from the outside is stored. A comparing circuit compares security information stored in memory mat with information stored in page buffer, and the comparison result is output to the outside as a status. Even when unauthorized copying is performed, information in memory mat is not copied. Therefore, an external apparatus can easily determine whether or not the semiconductor memory is an unauthorized copy by referring to the status.

A core chuck member 30 having a spiral section 34 is inserted in the container body 3 and a rotation regulating mechanism for synchronously rotating the front cylinder 10 and the core chuck member 30 is provided. Further, an elastic engagement section 68 is provided in a through hole 61 of an elastic cylindrical body 60 which rotates synchronously with the container body 3.

Abstract: A semiconductor memory device including a flash memory and a RAM incorporating a pseudo-SRAM contained in an MCP, has an internal transfer control signal for controlling internal data transfer between the flash memory and pseudo-SRAM, and an external transfer control signal for controlling data transfer between an external CPU and pseudo-SRAM, as control signals for the pseudo-SRAM. A flash controller in the RAM controls the internal transfer control signal so as to suspend the internal data transfer between the flash memory and pseudo-SRAM when the external CPU requests access to the pseudo-SRAM during the internal data transfer.

Abstract: In a non-volatile semiconductor memory device, a constant current circuit is arranged in parallel with an NMOS diode converting a detected current on the array cell side to a voltage, and a constant current circuit is arranged in parallel with an NMOS diode converting a detected current on the reference cell side to a voltage. Constant current circuits supply an offset current. Thus, a difference between two input voltages of a differential amplifier increases.

Abstract: A cartridge type stick-shaped cosmetic material feeding container 1 comprises a cartridge 2 and a container body 3, and the cartridge 2 rotatably connects a base cylinder 20 and a front cylinder 10 having an opening hole 11 through which a stick-shaped cosmetic material A advances and retreats. The stick-shaped cosmetic material A is retained by claws 32 at a front end of a core chuck member 30 inserted and an O-ring 4 is wound to an outer circumference of the base cylinder 20.

The feeding mechanism of the cartridge 2 inserted in the container body 3 functions when the base cylinder 20 and the container body 3 synchronously rotate by frictional resistance of an inner circumference of the container body and the O-ring 4 wound to the base cylinder 20.

Abstract: Operations of applying an erase pulse and further performing block program before erasure are executed in steps S2 and S3 before applying the erase pulse on a block by block basis. This narrows the distribution width of the threshold voltage, and reduces the number of the memory transistors to be subjected to over-erase verify so that a total erasing time of data of a flash memory can be reduced.

Abstract: Erasing is performed two times for narrowing a distribution width of threshold voltages of memory cells, and reducing the number of memory transistors to be subjected to over-erase verify. The erase verify voltage for the first erasing is set more strictly than the erase verify voltage for the second erasing. The erase pulses for the second erasing can be reduced in number, and the erasing time can be further reduced.

Abstract: At the time of writing data, a tester outputs a chip enable signal /CE of the L level and selection signals of the L level to simultaneously make semiconductor memory devices active. At the time of reading data, the tester outputs the chip enable signal of the L level to the semiconductor memory devices, and selectively switches the logic level of a selection signal to be outputted to some semiconductor memory devices and that of the selection signal to be outputted to the other semiconductor memory devices to the L level. In such a manner, a number of semiconductor memory devices can be tested without increasing the number of pins of the tester.
