    摘要: A programmable logic device that includes a voltage input and a detection circuit coupled to the voltage input is described. The detection circuit detects whether a voltage applied to the voltage input exceeds a predetermined value. The programmable logic device also includes a configuration circuit coupled to the detection circuit. The configuration circuit configures the programmable logic device to receive a current sufficient for program and erase operations through the voltage input in response to the detection circuit detecting that the voltage exceeds the predetermined value.

    摘要: A method and apparatus suspend operations in a flash memory in order to read code from the flash memory. A system comprises a processor and a nonvolatile writeable memory coupled together. A non-read operation is preempted in the nonvolatile writeable memory responsive to an input at a pin of the nonvolatile writeable memory. The preemption occurs by either suspending the non-read operation or aborting the non-read operation. Code is read from the nonvolatile writeable memory and provided to the processor. Subsequently, the non-read operation is resumed at where it was suspended, or is started anew.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for preempting an operation in a nonvolatile writeable memory is performed using a pin. Preempting an operation is accomplished by either suspending the operation or by aborting the operation. Once an operation is suspended in the nonvolatile writeable memory, other operations can then be performed. Subsequently the suspended operation may be resumed.

    摘要: A nonvolatile memory includes a first block and a second block. The first block comprises a first memory cell and a first source line coupled to a source of the first memory cell. The second block comprises a second memory cell and a second source line coupled to a source of the second memory cell. A first source switch is coupled to the first source line for selectively coupling a first potential, a second potential, and a third potential to the first source line. The second potential has a voltage intermediate between the first potential and the third potential. A second source switch is coupled to the second source line for selectively coupling one of the first, second, and third potentials to the second source line. A block select circuit receives a block address for selecting one of the first and second source switches to couple one of the first, second, and third potentials to its respective one of the first and second source lines. A configuration cell is coupled to the block select circuit for configuring block operations of the first and second blocks. When the configuration cell is in a first voltage state, the configuration cell causes the block select circuit to separately select one of the first and second source switches depending upon the address received. When the configuration cell is in a second voltage state, the configuration cell causes the block select circuit to collectively select the first and second source switches.
