    摘要: A flash memory device may operate from two supply voltages, one being provided externally, and the other being generated within the flash memory device from the external supply voltage. The flash memory device may be provided with a selectable-level buffer for interfacing with either low supply voltage or high supply voltage integrated circuits. To provide even greater flexibility, the flash memory device may be provided with the capability of receiving a second supply voltage from an external source, which may take precedence over the internally-generated second supply voltage or may be combined with the internally-generated second supply voltage.

    摘要: A Flash memory device operable under a single-bit or multiple-bit serial protocol is provided with a capability to determine the address boundary condition of an application from the address field of an address boundary configurable (“ABC”) read command. Based on the identified address boundary condition, the Flash memory device may perform multiple sensing of the memory array as required by the ABC read command using optimal internal sense times for each sensing. The number of dummy bytes may be specified for the read command in advance by the user, based on the address boundary of the application and the desired frequency of operation of the Flash memory device. Therefore, Flash memory device read performance is improved both by minimizing the number of dummy bytes in the read command and by optimizing the internal sense times for the read operation.

    摘要: A stable voltage converter is described. The stable voltage converter has an error amplifier, a plurality of subtraction circuits, a plurality of converter channels, and a plurality of current sensors. The error amplifier compares a reference voltage and an average output voltage to generate an error signal for stabilizing the output voltage of the converter. The subtraction circuits input the error signal and channel current signals generated by the current sensors, and then output modified error signals for controlling the converter channels to adequately output direct current power outputs.

The barrier layer, preferably contains a ruthenium-based material, is conductively coupled with the conductive layer. A second insulating layer is formed over the first insulating layer and the barrier layer. A second opening is formed in the second insulating layer to expose a portion of the underlying barrier layer. A first electrode is formed in the second opening and a dielectric layer is formed on the second insulating layer and the first electrode. Finally, a second electrode is formed over the dielectric layer.

    摘要: The present invention discloses a frequency signal enabling apparatus and the method thereof for filtering noises and glitch when entering an operating mode from a power-saving mode. When the pulse width of the input frequency signal is smaller than the threshold pulse width, it will be considered as a noise and be filtered out. When the high-level pulse width of the input frequency signal is greater than the threshold, a first short pulse will be generated. When the low-level pulse width of the input frequency signal is greater than the threshold, a second short pulse will be generated. The relative position of the first short pulse and the second short pulse will be used to reconstruct the frequency signal, and the reconstructed frequency signal may serve as the operating frequency of the microprocessor or other digital IC.

    摘要: The present invention discloses a structure of a horizontal surrounding gate (HSG) flash memory cell and a method for manufacturing the same. The HSG flash memory cell of the present invention is located on a trench of an isolation region, and a channel region of the HSG flash memory cell composed of a semiconductor film is encompassed by a tunneling oxide layer, a floating gate, and a control gate in sequence. The floating gate and the control gate are also formed on the trench below the channel region. Therefore, the leakage current of the channel can be improved, and the short channel effect cannot be induced by junction depth of a source/drain. Furthermore, the coupling capacitor between the control gate and the floating gate is increased easily by increasing the depth of the trench.
