    摘要: A memory (10) includes a memory array (12) having a plurality of word lines (WL), a plurality of latching predecoders (18), and word line driver logic (14). Each latching predecoder receives a clock signal (CLK) and a plurality of address signals (A0, A0b) and latches a result of a logic function of the plurality of address signals in response to a first edge of a clock cycle of the clock signal and provides a predetermined value in response to a second edge of the first clock cycle of the clock signal, wherein, in response to the second edge, every latching decoder of the plurality of latching predecoders provides a same predetermined value. The word line driver logic selectively activates a selected word line of the plurality of word lines in response to the latched results.

    摘要: A serial input processing apparatus provides how to capture serial data without loss of a single bit while command interpretation is being performed in a command decoder at high frequency. Individual bytes of serial bits of a pre-defined sequence are latched and bit streams are temporarily stored with multiple clocks. The temporary store is conducted before transferring byte information to assigned address registers to register the address. The address registration and the data registration are performed by latching all bit streams of the serial input at the leading edges of clocks. While at a high frequency operation (e.g., 1 GHz or 1 ns cycle time), no additional registers are required for storing bit data during command interpretation with enough time margins between the command bit stream interpretation and next bit data stream.

    摘要: In a method for reducing detrimental phenomena related to disturb voltages in a data storage apparatus employing passive matrix addressing, particularly a memory device or a sensor device, an application of electric potentials conforming to an addressing operation is generally controlled in a time-coordinated manner according to a voltage pulse protocol. In an addressing operation a data storage cell is set to a first polarization state by means of a first active voltage pulse and then, dependent on the voltage pulse protocol, a second voltage pulse which may be a second active voltage pulse of opposite polarity to that of the first voltage pulse, is applied and used for switching the data storage cell to a second polarization state. The addressed cell is thus set to a predetermined polarization state as specified by the addressing operation. The data storage cells of the apparatus are provided in two or more electrically separated segments such that each segment comprises a separate physical address space for the apparatus. In an addressing operation the data are directed to a segment that is selected based on information on prior and/or scheduled applications of active voltage pulses to the segments.
