Abstract

The invention discloses a flash memory. The memory includes a memory section, a frequency detection module, a signal control module, an internal logic circuit and a reference source circuit, wherein the memory section includes a plurality of flash memory cells; the frequency detection module is used for detecting the frequency of the flash memory, and when the frequency of the flash memory is less than a predetermined frequency, a low-frequency indication signal is outputted; the internal logic circuit is connected with the signal control module and outputs a reference source control signal to the signal control module; the signal control module is connected with the output end of the frequency detection module, and when the low-frequency indication signal is received, a control signal of the internal logic circuit is outputted to the reference source circuit; the reference source circuit is used for providing a reference power supply to the memory section, and is opened or closed according to the control signal. The invention also provides a reference source circuit switching method of the flash memory; not only can requirements of high frequency and high speed of a chip be met, but also a requirement of low power consumption of the chip can be met.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of semiconductors, in particular to the field of semiconductor memory, and in particular to a flash memory and a switching method for a reference source circuit of the flash memory. Background technique [0002] Flash memory is a common type of memory at present, and it is widely used in electronic products such as mobile phones and digital cameras. As the flash memory is more and more widely used, the market also puts forward higher and higher requirements for the flash memory. In order to realize the fast response speed of the flash memory, there are many circuits inside the flash memory that need to be started in advance. These circuits generally start to work after the flash memory is selected, so that the flash memory can respond faster and complete read and write operations after receiving an external command. These circuits that need to be started in advance are generally analog circuits that internally provi...
