Abstract

A semiconductor device comprises a memory block having a content addressable memory (CAM) cell array storing data for internal operation conditions, and a memory cell array. The semiconductor device also comprises a page buffer to program data in the memory block or read the data programmed in the memory block; a control logic to activate a reset enable signal for initializing the page buffer during a reset operation and output the activated reset enable signal; and a power-supply controller to output a reset control signal for initializing the page buffer when the reset enable signal is activated, and provide a page buffer power-supply signal to the page buffer. The power-supply controller provides the page buffer power-supply signal after initialization of the page buffer.
