Abstract
A semiconductor memory device which is able to perform a power sequence with high reliability is provided. When a power from an external device is supplied, the controller of the flash memory of the invention is configured to read codes stored in a read-only memory in synchronization with a clock signal to perform a power-on sequence. In addition, the controller is further configured to deactivate the clock signal so as to pause the power-on sequence when it has been detected during the power-on sequence that the voltage of the power is not greater than a threshold, and to activate the clock signal to resume the power-on sequence when it is detected that the voltage of the supplied power exceeds the threshold again.
