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.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a micro TLB which includes a CAM section having a plurality of CAM circuits, each stores address information which represents correlation between a virtual address and a physical address; and a write control section which directs writing of the address information into each CAM circuit pointed by a write pointer, when a new address information is requested to be stored, wherein the micro TLB being configured to increment the write pointer, if the address information stored in each CAM circuit pointed by the write pointer has been used for address translation, so as to hold a recently-used address information while preventing the CAM circuit, having indication of use of the address information, from being overwritten with the new address information.
