ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor memory is disclosed having lockable cells which can be programmed or erased to store the information of an erasure lock or an erasure unlock without disturbing data stored in memory cells. The memory includes a memory cell array formed of a plurality of blocks, the blocks formed of a plurality of memory cells which are coupled to a plurality of memory word lines and bit lines, a lockable cell array formed of a plurality of lockable cells which are coupled to a lockable bit line and a plurality of lockable word lines which are electrically isolated from the memory word lines, and a lockable decoding circuit to generate a plurality of decoding signals to select the lockable word lines independent upon a selection of the memory word lines.
