    摘要: A nonvolatile ferroelectric memory device is provided so as to control read/write operations of a nonvolatile memory cell using a channel resistance of the memory cell which is differentiated by polarity states of a ferroelectric material. In the memory device, an insulating layer is formed on a bottom word line, and a floating channel layer comprising a N-type drain region, a P-type channel region and a N-type source region is formed on the insulating layer. Then, a ferroelectric layer is formed on the floating channel layer, and a word line is formed on the ferroelectric layer. As a result, the resistance state induced to the channel region is controlled depending on the polarity of the ferroelectric layer, thereby regulating the read/write operations of the memory cell array.

    摘要: A phase shifter includes a substrate; a signal line formed on a specific region in an upper surface of the substrate; and an air gap which is formed within the substrate and changes effective permittivity of the substrate to delay phase of a signal supplied to the signal line. The phase shifter delays a phase of a signal by controlling effective permittivity using an air gap, thereby having outstandingly low insertion loss as compared to existing phase shifters. Further, the phase shifter can be manufactured in a same length as a reference line so that the phase shifter can be in a compact size.

    摘要: Provided is an H.264 Context Adaptive Variable Length Coding (CAVLC) decoding method based on an Application-Specific Instruction-set Processor (ASIP). The H.264 CAVLC decoding method includes determining a plurality of comparison bit strings on the basis of a table of a decoding coefficient, storing lengths of the comparison bit strings in a first register, storing code values of the comparison bit strings in a second register, comparing an input bit stream with the comparison bit strings based on the lengths and code values of the comparison bit strings, and determining value of the decoding coefficient according to a result of comparison between the input bit stream and the comparison bit strings. The method extracts a decoding coefficient using a register in an ASIP without accessing a memory and prevents a reduction in speed caused by memory access, thereby increasing the decoding speed of an H.264 decoder.

    摘要: A power-up signal generator uses a deep power down power-up signal, which should be in a standby state in a deep power down entry, for an initialization of other semiconductor elements in a DRAM device that operates after an internal power supply voltage is generated. The generator also uses the power-up signal, which is disabled in the deep power down entry and enabled in a deep power down exit by the internal power supply voltage. The generator may include a power-up detector for generating a power-up detection signal, a deep power down power-up signal generator for generating a deep power down power-up signal, a power-up signal generator for generating a power-up signal and a power-up controller for determining whether or not to enable the power-up signal in the deep power down entry.

    摘要: A circuit board configured to provide multiple interfaces is disclosed. The circuit board comprises a termination slot inserted with a termination module configured to modulate circuits by applying a termination resistance and a termination voltage. If the termination module is inserted into the termination slot, the circuit board operates as a series stub terminated transceiver logic (SSTL) interface. Otherwise, the board operates as a low voltage transistor logic (LVTTL) interface. Additionally, the board comprises a switch configured to selectively connect a termination resistance to a bus. If the switch connects the termination resistance to the bus, the board operates as an SSTL interface. Otherwise, the board operates as an LVTTL interface.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an improved memory circuit with a divided bit-line, shared sense amplifier architecture. In a conventional divided bit-line, shared sense amplifier configuration, two adjacent memory sub-arrays are generally located between two banks of sense amplifiers and selected bit lines of the two adjacent memory sub-arrays are generally connected to metal lines with metal contacts to reduce capacitive loading. Under the present invention, some sense amplifiers from either banks of sense amplifiers are repositioned to the area between the two adjacent memory sub-arrays thereby permitting the repositioned sense amplifiers to be shared. As a result, any two adjacent memory sub-arrays share a bank of sense amplifiers. Furthermore, selected bit lines from the two adjacent memory sub-arrays are coupled to metal lines within the repositioned sense amplifiers. In addition, equilibration circuits are similarly relocated to the area between the two adjacent memory sub-arrays thereby permitting selected bit lines and metal lines to be precharged and equalized in a shorter period of time. By reducing the precharge time, faster memory access can be achieved.
