Abstract:
A method for data processing is suggested including: (i) transforming electrical variables for each cell of a data bit of a memory into a time domain; and (ii) determining a predetermined state by comparing the transformed electrical variables of at least two data bits.
Abstract:
Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to improved regulators for charge pumps. Such regulators selectively activate a charge pump based not only on the voltage output of the charge pump, but also on an series of wake-up pulses that are delivered at predetermined time intervals and which are delivered independently of the voltage output of the charge pump. Hence, these wake-up pulses prevent extended periods of time in which the charge pump is inactive, thereby helping to prevent latch-up in some situations.
Abstract:
A method for data processing is disclosed. A blank state is determined for several data bits based on a majority decision. Each data bit is represented by a group of at least two memory cells. The at least two memory cells of this group are complementary cells of a differential read memory.
Abstract:
A circuitry is proposed for the correction of errors in a possibly erroneous binary word v′=v′1, . . . , v′n relative to a codeword v=v1, . . . , vn, in particular 3-bit errors containing an adjacent 2-bit error (burst error). The circuitry comprises a syndrome generator and a decoder. A modified BCH is used wherein n′ column vectors of a first BCH code submatrix are paired as column vector pairs so that a componentwise XOR combination of the two column vectors of each column vector pair produces an identical column vector K that is different from all column vectors of the first BCH submatrix. A second BCH submatrix comprises corresponding column vectors as the third power, according to Galois field arithmetic, of the column vector in the first BCH submatrix. The syndrome generated by the syndrome generator can be checked against the columns of the first and second submatrices.
