Abstract

There is provided a nonvolatile memory device having a writing error preventing function with high noise resistance. This structure includes a switch and a noise filter circuit connected in parallel to a clock terminal, wherein a clock pulse monitoring circuit compares the number of clocks input from the clock terminal with a prescribed number, and when detecting abnormality in the number of clocks, switches to a noise countermeasure mode in which the switch is turned off to validate the noise filter circuit.

Claims (13)

1. A nonvolatile memory device comprising:

a first switch and a first noise filter circuit connected in parallel to a clock terminal;

a command decoder circuit that decodes a command from data input from a data input terminal;

a clock pulse monitoring circuit that compares the number of clocks input from the clock terminal with a prescribed number to detect abnormality in the number of clocks, and outputs an abnormality detection signal when the abnormality is detected;

a clock pulse monitoring register that receives the abnormality detection signal and sets an abnormality detection flag;

an output circuit that outputs the abnormality detection flag to outside; and

a mode selection circuit that switches between a first state and a second state according to the abnormality detection flag, wherein

in the first state, the first switch is turned on to invalidate the first noise filter circuit,

in the second state, the first switch is turned off to validate the first noise filter circuit, and

a data reading period after the abnormality detection flag is set is the second state.

2. The nonvolatile memory device according to claim 1 , further comprising

a second switch and a second noise filter circuit connected in parallel to a chip select terminal,

wherein the second switch is turned on in the first state, and the second switch is turned off in the second state.
