Abstract:
Circuits and methods for transmitting and receiving small swing differential voltage data to and from a memory are described. A plurality of memory cells is formed in arrays within a plurality of memory banks. Each memory bank is coupled to a pair of small swing differential voltage global bit lines that extend across the memory. A small signal write driver circuit is coupled to the global bit lines and configured to output a small signal differential voltage on the global bit lines during write cycles. A global sense amplifier is coupled to the global bit line pairs and configured to output a full swing voltage on a data line during a read cycle. Methods for providing small swing global bit line signals to memory cells are disclosed. The use of small swing differential voltage signals across the memory reduces power consumption and shortens memory cycle time.

The invention discloses a touch sensing device, which includes a containing space, a first substrate layer, a second substrate layer, a driver, and a sensor. The first substrate layer and the second substrate layer define the containing space for containing a fluid. The driver can provide charges to a first conducting layer of the first substrate layer, a second conducting layer of the second substrate layer, and the fluid. The sensor can sense the electric characteristics of the fluid. When a point unit approaches the touch sensing device and influences the charges, the appearance of the fluid could be changed and then the electric characteristics could also be changed.
