    摘要: A data storage device includes one or more data paths through electrical contacts of the data storage device. The data paths are operably connected to allow bits to be transferred into and out of the data storage device. The data storage device stores an indication of a number of the one or more data paths in a configuration register. A method includes performing, while the data storage device is operatively coupled to a host device, receiving a command of the host device to read the configuration register and providing the indication via at least one of the one or more data paths. Providing the indication enables indicating to the host device the number of the one or more data paths.

    摘要: A voltage buffer for capacitive loads isolates the load from the feedback loop. Using a variation of a follower arrangement, a second transistor outside of the feedback loop introduced. The current to the load is supplied through the second transistor, which is connected to have the same control gate level as the transistor in the feedback loop and provide an output voltage based on the reference input voltage. The output voltage is dependent upon the input voltage, but the load is removed from the feedback loop. By removing the load from the feedback loop, the loop is stabilized with only a very small or no compensating capacitor, allowing the quiescent current of the buffer to be reduced and the settling time to be improved. One preferred use of the present invention is to drive the data storage elements of a non-volatile memory.

    摘要: A current-limited latch circuit is used within a nonvolatile memory integrated circuit for decoding, programming, erase, and other operations. In one implementation, there are a number of latches connected together in parallel between two power supply lines. A current mirroring scheme limits current supplied to the latch. This reduces a difference of the two supplies, positive voltage, ground, or negative voltages, during data changes. The circuit provides smaller device sizes and fast speeds when data changes in the latch, while also providing lower power consumption. The technique provides greater benefits as the voltage difference between the two power supplies is greater.

    摘要: A memory system (e.g., memory card) having error management for stored levels (e.g., reference levels) used in discrimination of logic levels for data storage units providing data storage is disclosed. The stored levels can be stored in predetermined storage units (e.g., writable tracking storage units) in the memory system. The memory system is typically a non-volatile memory product or device that provides binary or multi-state data storage.
