    摘要: In a method for reducing detrimental phenomena related to disturb voltages in a data storage apparatus employing passive matrix addressing, particularly a memory device or a sensor device, an application of electric potentials conforming to an addressing operation is generally controlled in a time-coordinated manner according to a voltage pulse protocol. In an addressing operation a data storage cell is set to a first polarization state by means of a first active voltage pulse and then, dependent on the voltage pulse protocol, a second voltage pulse which may be a second active voltage pulse of opposite polarity to that of the first voltage pulse, is applied and used for switching the data storage cell to a second polarization state. The addressed cell is thus set to a predetermined polarization state as specified by the addressing operation. The data storage cells of the apparatus are provided in two or more electrically separated segments such that each segment comprises a separate physical address space for the apparatus. In an addressing operation the data are directed to a segment that is selected based on information on prior and/or scheduled applications of active voltage pulses to the segments.

    摘要: A matrix-addressable ferroelectric or electret memory device and a method of operating are explained. The method includes applying a first plurality of voltage difference across a first and a second set of electrodes in the memory when data are read, and applying a second plurality of voltage differences when data are refreshed or rewritten. The first and second plurality of voltage differences correspond to sets of potential levels comprising time sequences of voltage pulses. At least one parameter indicative of a change in a memory cell response is used for determining at least one correction factor for the voltage pulses, whereby the pulse parameter is adjusted accordingly. The memory device comprises means for determining the at least one parameter, a calibration memory connected with means for determining the correction factor, and control circuits for adjusting pulse parameters as applied to read and write operations in the memory device.

    摘要: In a method for operating a passive matrix-addressable ferroelectric or electret memory device, a voltage pulse protocol based on a 1/3 voltage selection rule is used in order to keep disturb voltages at minimum, the voltage pulse protocol comprising cycles for read and write/erase bases on time sequence of voltage pulses with defined parameters. The method comprises a refresh procedure wherein cells for refresh are selected and refresh requests processed by a memory device controller, the refresh requests are monitored and processed in regard of ongoing or scheduled memory operations, and refresh voltage pulses with defined parameters are applied to the memory cells selected for refresh, while simultaneously ensuring that non-selected memory cells are subjected to zero voltage or voltages which do not affect the polarization state of these cells.

    摘要: An infrared radiation source for sensor and spectroscopic use has a thin, electrically conducting film adapted to emit infrared radiation when heated. The film is formed from a gas or vapor phase and includes a network of diamond-like carbon. Depending on the percentage of metal atoms in the film, the film may have metal atoms which are either distributed in the diamond-like carbon network or else form an additional metallic network. The metal may be tungsten, chromium, or titanium, and the film may include silicon and oxygen.

    摘要: A method for determining a logic state of a memory cell in a data storage device, wherein the cell stores data in the form of an electrical polarization state in a capacitor containing a polarizable material, includes applying a time-dependent small signal voltage over the capacitor, and recording at least one component of a generated small-signal current response over said capacitor. Correlation analysis is performed on the response based on a reference signal derived from the time dependent small signal voltage to determine the logic state of the memory cell. An apparatus performing a phase comparison according to this method includes a phase detector connected with a memory cell for detecting at least one phase in the response signal. The apparatus is configured to determine the logic state of the memory cell by comparing the detected phase and a phase reference signal.

    摘要: In a method for obviating the effect of disturb voltages in a data storage apparatus employing passive matrix addressing, an application of electric potentials for an addressing operation is according to a voltage pulse protocol. The data storage cells of the apparatus are provided in two or more electrically separated segments each constituting non-overlapping physical address subspaces of the data storage apparatus physical address space. A number of data storage cells in each segment are preset to the same polarization by an active voltage pulse with a specific polarization. In a first addressing operation one or more data storage cells are read by applying an active pulse with the same polarization to each data storage cell and recording the output charge response. On basis thereof the output data in subsequent second addressing operation are copied onto preset data storage cells in another segment of the data storage apparatus, this segment being selected on the basis of its previous addressing history.
