    Abstract: Latch circuits with improved single event upset immunity and related systems, apparatuses, and methods are disclosed. An apparatus includes a fuse, a first driver circuit, and a second driver circuit. The fuse is configured to store a bit of information. The first driver circuit includes a first input terminal electrically connected to the fuse and a first output terminal electrically connected to a first latch input terminal. The second driver circuit includes a second input terminal electrically connected to the fuse and a second output terminal electrically connected to a second latch input terminal. The second latch input terminal is electrically isolated from the first latch input terminal by the first driver circuit and the second driver circuit.

    Abstract: Devices and methods include generating biases for input buffers of a semiconductor device. In some embodiments, the semiconductor device includes an input buffer that buffer datas and biasing generation and distribution circuitry that generates and distributes a bias current to the input buffer based at least in part on a reference voltage. The biasing generation and distribution circuitry includes dynamic voltage bias circuitry that adjusts the bias current and reference voltage tracking circuitry that controls operation of the dynamic voltage bias circuitry based on the reference voltage.

    Abstract: A multi-mode voltage pump may be configured to select an operational mode based on a temperature of a semiconductor device. The selected mode for a range of temperature values may be determined based on process variations and operational differences caused by temperature changes. The different selected modes of operation of the multi-mode voltage pump may provide pumped voltage having different voltage magnitudes. For example, the multi-mode voltage pump may operate in a first mode that uses two stages to provide a first VPP voltage, a second mode that uses a single stage to provide a second VPP voltage, or a third mode that uses a mixture of a single stage and two stages to provide a third VPP voltage. The third VPP voltage may be between the first and second VPP voltages, with the first VPP voltage having the greatest magnitude. Control signal timing of circuitry of the multi-mode voltage pump may be based on an oscillator signal.
