摘要:
A memory module includes a memory device, a command/address buffering device, and a processing data buffer. The memory device includes a memory cell array, a first set of input/output terminals, each terminal configured to receive first command/address bits, and a second set of input/output terminals, each terminal configured to receive both data bits and second command/address bits. The command/address buffering device is configured to output the first command/address bits to the first set of input/output terminals. The processing data buffer is configured to output the data bits and second command/address bits to the second set of input/output terminals. The memory device is configured such that the first command/address bits, second command/address bits, and data bits are all used to access the memory cell array.

Disclosed is a memory package. The memory package includes a nonvolatile memory chip, a volatile memory chip of which an access speed is faster than an access speed of the nonvolatile memory chip, and a logic chip for performing a refresh operation about the volatile memory chip in response to a refresh command from an external device, and migrating at least a portion of data stored in the nonvolatile memory chip to the volatile memory chip when the refresh operation is performed.

Sequential circuits with error-detection are provided. They may, for example, be used to replace traditional master-slave flip-flops, e.g., in critical path circuits to detect and initiate correction of late transitions at the input of the sequential. In some embodiments, such sequentials may comprise a transition detector with a time borrowing latch.
摘要:
The number of power-gating transistors on an integrated circuit used for power reduction in a sleep mode is controlled during a wake state to adjust the current flow and hence voltage drop across the power-gating transistors as a function of aging of these transistors and/or a function of temperature of the integrated circuit. In this way, the supply voltage to the integrated circuit may be better tailored to minimize current leakage when the integrated circuit is young or operating at low temperatures.

A method and device for reducing power during an instruction lane divergence includes idling an inactive execution lane during the lane divergence.
摘要:
Some embodiments provide sampling of a data signal output from a path stage using a latch, sampling of the data signal output from the path stage using an edge-triggered flip-flop, comparing a first value output by the latch with a second value output by the edge-triggered flip-flop, and generating an error signal if the first value is different from the second value.
摘要:
A method for improving performance of a digital memory array device including a plurality of memory cells; each respective memory cell storing a first digital value and a second digital value being an inverse of the first digital value; storing of the first and second digital values being controlled by a first digital signal effecting selection of a specified memory cell for storing; includes: (a) determining an extant value relating to the first digital signal; (b) if the extant value has a first value, effecting a bit flip operation in the specified memory cell to invert values of at least one of the stored first digital and the second digital values; (c) if the extant value does not have the first value, foregoing the bit flip operation in the specified memory cell.
