    摘要: A finite impulse response (FIR) filter for implementing a Hilbert transform is provided. The FIR filter includes a plurality of programmable delay cells connected in cascade between an input terminal of the FIR filter and an output terminal of the FIR filter. Each programmable delay cell has associated therewith a constant filter coefficient and a programmable delay coefficient. The FIR filter is also applicable for processing signals originated by the reading of data from a magnetic storage media which employs perpendicular recording.

    摘要: A multi-stage charge pump selects the number of active stages dynamically. In the exemplary embodiment, this is done by having a multi-stage master charge pump section in which the number of active stages is settable and a slave charge pump section that is of the same design as the master section. The master section is used drive the external load, while the slave section drives an adjustable internal load. The adjustable load is set by control logic by comparing the operation of the two sections. The control logic then operates the slave sections with a different number of active stages than the master stage in order to determine whether the master stage is using the optimal number of active stages. The control logic can then change the number of active stages accordingly.

    摘要: Circuitry for performing a set or reset process for a reversible resistance-switching memory element in a memory device. A ramped voltage is applied to the memory cell and its state is constantly monitored so that the voltage can be discharged as soon as the set or reset process is completed, avoiding possible disturbs to the memory cell. One set circuit ramps the voltage using a current source, while detecting a current peak using an op-amp loop. One reset circuit ramps the voltage using an op-amp loop, while detecting a current peak by continuing to draw current at the peak current to maintain the output signal stable. Another set circuit ramps the voltage using an op-amp loop and a source-follower configuration. Another reset circuit ramps the voltage using an op-amp loop and a source-follower configuration with level shifting to reduce power consumption. Faster detection and shutoff, and stable operation, are achieved.

    摘要: Techniques and corresponding circuitry are presented for the detection of wordline leakage in a memory array. In an exemplary embodiment, a capacitive voltage divider is used to translate the high voltage drop to low voltage drop that can be compared with a reference voltage to determine the voltage drop due to leakage. An on-chip self calibration method can help assure the accuracy of this technique for detecting leakage limit. In other embodiments, the current drawn by a reference array, where a high voltage is applied to the array with all wordlines non-selected, is compared to the current drawn by an array where the high voltage is applied and one or more selected wordlines. In these current based embodiments, the reference array can be a different array, or the same array as that one selected for testing.
