    摘要: An information storage unit functioning in a vacuum is provided wherein a data storage medium has an information storage area for storing and reading information thereon. An array of electron beam emitters is spaced from and in close proximity to the data storage medium for selectively directing a plurality of electron beams toward the data storage medium. Focusing optics between the array of electron beam emitters and the data storage medium focus each of the electron beams on one part of the information storage area of the data storage medium. A micro electromechanical motor associated with the data storage medium moves the data storage medium relative to the array of electron beam emitters, so that each of the emitters directs an electron beam selectively to a portion of the information storage area to read or write information therein. Electronic circuitry spaced from and in electronic communication with the array of electron beam emitters controls the operations of the array of electron beam emitters. A vacuum device in the information storage unit maintains the vacuum between the data storage medium and the array of electron beam emitters.

    摘要: A Magnetic Random Access Memory (“MRAM”) device includes an array of memory cells. The device generates reference signals that can be used to determine the resistance states of each memory cell in the array, despite variations in resistance due to manufacturing tolerances and other factors such as temperature gradients across the array, electromagnetic interference and aging.

    摘要: An operational amplifier includes transistors for providing a controlled current path. At least one of the transistors is in an isolated well in a substrate. Offset of the operational amplifier is corrected by applying a back gate bias voltage to at least one isolated well and changing impedance of the transistors. The proper back gate bias voltage and transistor impedance are determined by incrementally adjusting the back gate bias voltage and then incrementally adjusting the transistor impedance. Calibration values are stored in register memory. Such calibration may be performed by an auto offset calibration process.

    摘要: Resistance of a selected memory cell in a Magnetic Random Access Memory (“MRAM”) device is sensed by a read circuit including a direct injection charge amplifier, an integrator capacitor and a digital sense amplifier. The direct injection charge amplifier supplies current to the integrator capacitor while maintaining an equipotential voltage on non-selected memory cells in the MRAM device. As the direct injection charge amplifier applies a fixed voltage to the selected memory cell, the sense amplifier measures integration time of a signal on the integrator. The signal integration time indicates whether the memory cell MRAM resistance is at a first state (R) or a second state (R+&Dgr;R).

    摘要: A magnetic random access memory (MRAM) includes an array of magnetic memory cells arranged on a cross-point grid. Spurious voltages that build up on the stray wiring capacitance of unselected bit and word select lines are limited and discharged by diodes. The control of such spurious voltages improves device operating margins and allows the construction of larger arrays.
