摘要: A system includes a pull-up circuit to program a memory cell. The pull-up circuit may include a level shifter to receive a control signal, a supply voltage, and one or more of a plurality of rail voltages, each of the plurality of rail voltages substantially equal to a respective integer multiple of the supply voltage, and to generate a second control signal, and a cascode stage. The cascode stage may include a plurality of transistors, a gate voltage of each of the plurality of transistors to be controlled at least in part by a respective one of the second control signal, the supply voltage, and at least one of the plurality of rail voltages, and an output node to provide a cell programming signal.

摘要: An apparatus and method for generating a reference in a memory circuit are disclosed. At least two dummy bit-cells are used to generate a reference voltage. One cell has high value stored and the other has a low value stored. The cells are activated and discharged into respective bit-lines. The bit-lines are equalized during the discharge process to generate a reference that is approximately a mid point between a high value cell and a low value cell.

摘要: A method is described that induced dielectric breakdown within a capacitor's dielectric material while driving a current through the capacitor. The current is specific to data that is being written into the capacitor. The method also involves reading the data by interpreting behavior of the capacitor that is determined by the capacitor's resistance, where, the capacitor's resistance is a consequence of the inducing and the driving.
