    摘要: The present invention provides an ECL EPROM circuit which uses a MOS memory cell. The invention includes a technique for programming the memory cell using MOS voltage levels, and also includes circuitry for reading the memory cell at ECL voltage levels. Thus, the programming and reading paths are split to give the ease of programming and the reprogrammability of MOS EPROM devices combined with the reading speed of PROM devices using ECL voltage levels. In one embodiment, two parallel paths are provided to a memory cell to enable it to separately receive reading and writing (programming) signals. The reading path employs ECL components for reading the cell, while the writing path contains MOS components for programming and verifying the cell. The memory cell itself contains a MOS memory element, an ECL pass element, and a sense element coupling the MOS memory element to the ECL pass element. The MOS memory element is coupled to the programming (writing) path, and the ECL pass element is coupled to the read path with a bipolar output transistor.

    摘要: A BiCMOS write-recovery method and circuit for recovering bit lines in a digital memory system provides approximately 1 nS recovery time and allows a 256K BiCMOS SRAM to achieve 10 nS access time. All bit lines in the memory system connected to a column not being read are held at a high potential, approximately equal to the upper power supply. During a write, one bit line is pulled low and its complementary bit line is clamped with a bipolar transistor to an intermediate potential, thereby preloading the complementary bit line. Following a write, the bit line that was pulled low is pulled up with a bipolar transistor to the intermediate voltage. Simultaneously, the bit line and the complementary bit line are shunted together, then returned to the high potential. Undesired bootstrap capacitance effects in the bipolar transistors are minimized by connecting a plurality of pull-up transistors in parallel, and by feeding the clamping transistors with low impedance drivers.

    摘要: A BiCMOS voltage reference generator circuit generates and maintains a reference voltage within 3 mV over an 80.degree. C. temperture range and over a 1 volt change in power supply level. The circuit uses feedback from the output of the reference voltage generator to the current source supplying current to the voltage reference generator. This feedback increases the effective output impedance of the current source, making the reference voltage output substantially independent of power supply variations. The circuit operates with power supply differential as low as about 3 volts, and preferably is fabricated from bipolar transistors and MOS transistors on the same chip.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a multi-port register file memory or SRAM including a plurality of storage elements and other circuitry that operate synchronously or asynchronously. The storage elements are arranged in rows and columns and store data. Two read port pairs are coupled to each of the storage elements and a differential sensing device or circuit. The read port is coupled to the storage elements in an isolated manner, enabling a plurality of cells to be arranged in such rows and columns. The sensing device is adapted to sense a small voltage swing. A column mux circuit is coupled to each column and the sensing device. Performance is not degraded unusually as the power supply voltage is reduced due to bus drop or inductive effects.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method and circuit for verifying the state of a gated fuse element used with a one-time programmable CMOS memory device. A first expected state is set and a state of a first gate-ox fuse is sensed. The state of the first gate-ox fuse is compared to the first expected state to determine if they are equal, and a first signal is generated. A second expected state is set and a state of a second gate-ox fuse is sensed. The state of the second gate-ox fuse is compared to the second expected state to determine if they are equal, and a second signal is generated. A valid output is generated if both the first and second signals are in a correct state, both signals are high for example.
