    摘要: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and method to identify regions where voltage supplied by the power distribution network of an IC chip is too low (or too high).
    SOLUTION: Virtually uniform voltage is impressed on the power surface of the power distribution network connected to the IC chip. A plurality of current sources distributed over the chip are turned on. Voltage in a plurality of positions on the chip is sought. When the current source is turned on, a clock that works freely on a clock tree distributed over the chip becomes effective, and the operation of a function logic inside the IC is prohibited.

    摘要: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide systems and methods for detecting phase-locked loop circuit lock, in particular, a lock detector configured to detect PLL stability for user-defined period of the time, prior to asserting of a PLL-lock-detected output. SOLUTION: Stability may be indicated by a counter, inserted into a PLL circuit and arranged between a phase-frequency detector and a charge pump. Because the counter value is acted on by the phase-frequency detector, PLL lock is indicated by counter value stability. The digital counter value can be provided to a digital charge pump and a lock detector simultaneously. The lock detector includes registers and difference detectors, to determine when the difference between counter values is below user-defined tolerance. The lock detector can include a variable timer to avoid false indications of lock, which may occur when counter values are sampled with the same frequency as a fluctuation frequency of the counter value.

    摘要: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a semiconductor storage device which effectively prevents memory cells from being erroneously set after a reset operation in a memory cell. SOLUTION: The semiconductor storage device includes a reset pulse-control circuit RSTCTL which applies a reset voltage Vreset to a selected bit line BL.

The signal-output circuit SOUT determines the current Ireset on the basis of a current Ifwd+Ibld which is held by the current-holding circuit IMEM, and the reset pulse-control circuit RSTCTL stops the application of the reset voltage Vreset to the selected bit line BL on the basis of the signal FLGRST.

    摘要: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the latency of data transfer between memory cells by enabling data to be transferred directly between sense amplifiers in the memory system. SOLUTION: The memory system uses a conventional DRAM memory structure having a pair of first-level sense amplifier, a second-level sense amplifier, and control logic for the sense amplifiers. Each of the sense amplifiers is configured to be selectively coupled to a data line. In a direct transfer mode, the control logic generates control signals that cause the sense amplifiers to transfer data from a first one of the first-level sense amplifiers (a source sense amplifier) top the second-level sense amplifier, and from there to a second one of the first-level sense amplifiers (a destination sense amplifier). The structure of these sense amplifiers is conventional, and the operation of the system is enabled by modified control logic. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
