Abstract
A flash memory capable of automatically releasing a deep power-down mode is provided. The flash memory includes: a standard command interface (I/F) circuit and a deep power-down mode (DPD) controller, operating through an external power voltage; and an internal circuit, operating through internal voltages supplied from voltage supply nodes. The DPD controller detects whether the flash memory is in the deep power-down mode when a standard command is inputted to the standard command I/F circuit and recovers the internal circuit from the DPD mode in the case where the deep power-down mode is detected. The standard command is executed after the internal circuit is recovered.
