    摘要: Method and apparatus for an integrated circuit having memory including thyristor-based memory cells is described. A pair of the thyristor-based memory cells are commonly coupled via a bitline region, where a parasitic bipolar junction transistor is defined therebetween responsive to the bitline region being common. In another implementation, the pair of the thyristor-based memory cells are commonly coupled via the anode region, where a parasitic bipolar junction transistor is defined therebetween responsive to the anode region being common. The common bitline or anode region, respectively, has a locally thinned region to inhibit charge transfer between the pair via the parasitic bipolar junction transistor. Moreover, a method for forming a field-effect transistor on a silicon-on-insulator wafer is described, where charge transfer facilitated by a parasitic bipolar transistor is reduced responsive to an increase in dopants at least proximate to an insulator layer.

    摘要: Embodiments of integrated circuits for mitigating against electrostatic coupling are described. In an embodiment, first gate dielectrics are respectively located over first active regions. First isolation regions are respectively located between the first active regions. Second gate dielectrics are respectively located over second active regions. Second isolation regions are respectively located between the second active regions. In an embodiment, the first active regions are approximately 20 to 80 percent shorter in height/thickness than the second active regions. In another embodiment, the first isolation regions extend above an uppermost surface of the first gate dielectrics while providing gaps between the first isolation regions and sidewalls of the first active regions for receipt of material used in formation of conductive lines. In yet another embodiment, active area stripes are narrower in width at p-base regions and n-base regions than at cathode regions and anode regions respectively thereof.

    摘要: A system for configuring or testing memory may cycle a memory array while substantially concurrently performing other functional testing. In particular implementations, the system may configure, or cycle, a flash memory using a serial interface and test other functional units using the same serial interface substantially concurrently with cycling the flash memory. In some implementations, cycling the flash memory includes erasing and writing to the flash memory in specific patterns in order to dissipate charge that may have accumulated during a fabrication process.

    摘要: Writing to a page of flash memory may include receiving write commands that are substantially independent of an internal architecture of the flash memory. In certain embodiments, two operand flash commands are received at a flash controller from a remote controller. In various implementations, the writing process may further include translating each two-operand write command into architecture-dependent flash commands; executing the architecture-dependent flash commands to fill a page buffer associated with the flash memory; and subsequently transferring contents of the page buffer to the page of flash memory.

    摘要: A process for automatically detecting throughput of a network by a device. The network transmits a signal on which messages are carried that include bits of length LBIT and of a dominant or recessive type. The process includes the following successive steps: (a) the device goes into a listen mode; (b) the device obtains a triplet of successive transitions in the signal transmitted on the network, the triplet delimiting a first and second signal level, one dominant and the other recessive; (c) the device measures the duration, expressed as a period TH number of a clock of the device, of each of the first and second levels; (d) as a function of the measured durations of the signal levels, the device obtains a new throughput configuration by determining values for parameters that define the bit length LBIT; (e) the device validates the new throughput configuration; (g) if the device detects that at least one throughput adaptation condition is verified, it goes into a normal mode, otherwise it obtains a next transition of the signal, which delimits with the last previous transition a new level of the signal, it measures the duration of the new level and it reiterates steps (d) to (g) taking account of the new signal level.
