  • Nonvolatile memory
    Patent number: 6205054
    Abstract: A nonvolatile memory includes paired memory elements each including a storage transistor having a control gate and a floating gate. Through a write operation, one of the storage transistors is brought into a depletion state and the other storage transistor is brought into an enhancement state. Subsequently, a connection transistor is operated in order to serially connect the paired memory elements. As result, a binary signal corresponding to the statuses of the paired storage transistors is outputted.

  • Cascade type CMOS semiconductor device
    Patent number: 4374332
    Abstract: Within a semiconductor device having two sets of CMOS inverters, the two sets of CMOS inverters are electrically connected in series to a power source for supplying electric power to the semiconductor device. The two sets of CMOS inverters are formed in an oscillating circuit for producing a time base signal and a frequency dividing circuit, respectively. Device operating current and power consumption are accordingly reduced.
