Abstract:
A data storage system comprising a storage device comprising at least one nonvolatile memory, and a controller connected to the storage device through a channel. The memory controller sends part or all of a command, address and data for a next operation to the nonvolatile memory while the nonvolatile memory device is in a busy state. The memory controller then performs a background operation while the nonvolatile memory device remains in the busy state.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for a portable terminal intuitively and easily inputs receiver information of a text message for use when the portable terminal transmits the text message to others or replies to the text message. The receiver information inputting method includes extracting and displaying a preset number of items, in response to a request to input receiver information; calling receiver information linked to an item that is selected from among the items; and inputting the called receiver information in a receiver information input field.
Abstract:
A radio frequency identification (RFID) tag is provided including a lower antenna, an upper antenna, a RFID chip, and a spacer. The lower antenna has a coupling projection at one end. The upper antenna has a coupling groove at one end. The RFID chip contains information of an object which can be communicated with a reader device. One end of the RFID chip is coupled with the projection of the lower antenna and the other end is coupled with the groove of the upper antenna. The spacer is between the antennas to isolate the antennas electrically. The antennas are combined on both sides of the spacer in parallel. The RFID chip is connected with the antennas and fitted on a top side or a bottom side of the spacer so that active signals are transmitted through the antennas to send the information in the RFID chip to the reader device.
Abstract:
A delay-locked loop (DLL) circuit includes a standby signal generating circuit, a front stage circuit, and a back stage circuit. The standby signal generating circuit generates a first standby signal and a second standby signal in response to an active signal, a crock enable signal, a first column address strobe (CAS) latency signal, and a second CAS latency signal. The front stage circuit compares the phase of an external clock signal and the phase of a feedback signal and delays the external clock signal based on the phase difference between the external clock signal and the feedback signal to generate a first clock signal. The back stage circuit executes interpolation and duty-cycle correction on the first clock signal.
Abstract:
A decoder, a memory system, and a physical position converting method thereof may detect whether an address count of an input address is equal to or greater than a predetermined value. A physical position of a semiconductor memory device corresponding to the input address may be converted if the address count is equal to or greater than the predetermined value.
Abstract:
A device and method for automatically controlling power of a radio mobile terminal connected to a hands-free kit and for preventing the radio mobile terminal from malfunctioning. In a power control method for automatically turning on a radio mobile terminal connected to a hands-free kit, the radio mobile terminal including a power control signal generator, a signal output terminal and a signal input terminal, the hands-free kit including a power-on signal generator and a signal detector, a power-on signal is supplied to the signal input terminal for a predetermined time period through the power-on signal generator when the radio mobile terminal is connected to the hands-free kit. After the predetermined time period elapses, generating the power-on signal is stopped. It is determined if the driving signal generated by the signal output terminal is detected through the signal detector. If the driving signal is detected, generating the power-on signal is stopped.

A synchronous semiconductor memory device having an on-die termination (ODT) circuit, and an ODT method, satisfy ODT DC and AC parameter specifications and perform an adaptive impedance matching through an external or internal control, by executing an ODT operation synchronized to an external clock. The synchronous semiconductor memory device having a data output circuit for performing a data output operation synchronously to the external clock includes the ODT circuit for generating ODT up and down signals having the same timing as data output up and down signals for the data output operation, to perform the ODT operation.
Abstract:
A data output buffer includes an output terminal, a buffer and a pull-down driver. The output terminal is coupled to a first end of a transmission line, the transmission line being coupled to a pull-up termination resistor at a second end. The buffer pulls up the output terminal to a first power supply voltage and pulls down the output terminal to a second power supply voltage based on an output data signal. The pull-down driver pre-emphasizes an initial stage of a pull-down driving operation of the output terminal based on the output data.
