    摘要: Integrated circuit devices having metastability protection circuits therein include a main active circuit and a metastability detection/prevention circuit. The main active circuit may comprise a comparator, a sense amplifier, a differential amplifier or a voltage generating circuit, for example. The metastability detection/prevention circuit performs the function of detecting whether an output of the main active circuit has been disposed in a metastable state for a duration in excess of a transition duration. The output of the main active circuit may be considered as being in a metastable state if a potential of the output signal equals VMS, where VMS is in a range between VIL, and VIH. If the output signal has been in a metastable state for a duration in excess of the transition duration, then the metastability detection/prevention circuit will generate a control signal at a designated logic level. This control signal is provided as an input to the main active circuit and causes the output of the main active circuit to be driven out of the metastable state (i.e., to a logic 1 or 0 level). In this manner, prolonged metastability can be prevented even if the values of the input signals to the main active circuit would otherwise dispose the output in a metastable state.

    摘要: A first channel in the substrate underlying a trap gate is biased to cause trapping of holes or electrons in the trap gate and thereby program the memory device to a programmed state. A second channel in the substrate underlying the trap gate and transverse to the first channel is biased to sense the programmed state. For example, biasing a first channel in the substrate underlying the trap gate to cause trapping of holes or electrons in the trap gate and thereby program the memory device to a programmed state may include applying voltages to a first source/drain region and first gate on a first side of the trap gate and to a second source/drain region and a second gate on a second side of the trap gate, and biasing a second channel in the substrate underlying the trap gate and transverse to the first channel to sense the programmed state may include applying voltages to a third source/drain region on a third side of the trap gate and to a fourth source/drain region on a fourth side of the trap gate.
