    摘要: A circuit usable as a word line driver includes a driver that switches in response to a voltage on a control node, and a circuit supplying a voltage to the control node. The circuit that applies a voltage to control node provides a first static current tending to pull the control node up to a first source voltage, and provides a fighting current pulse in response to a signal selecting the driver to pull the control node down to a second source voltage, overcoming the first static current. In addition, a circuit provides a pull-up boost current on a transition of the signal selecting the driver that turns off the fighting current, and applies a boosting current pulse to the control node to assist pulling the control node quickly to the first source voltage.

    摘要: A memory apparatus includes a host device and a slave device. The host device stores verification data. The slave device includes a memory unit, a control unit, and a logic unit. The control unit drives the memory unit to provide storage data in a data transmission sub-period, and further provides a control signal, indicating the first verification data, in a dummy sub-period. The logic unit provides first preamble data, indicating substantially a same data value as the verification data, in the dummy sub-period in response to the first control signal. The preamble data and the storage data are transmitted according to an internal clock signal. The host device samples the first preamble data according to an external clock signal, and determines whether the external and the internal clock signals are synchronized by comparing the first preamble data and the first verification data.

    摘要: Techniques are described herein for detecting and recovering over-erased memory cells in a flash memory device. In one embodiment, a flash memory device includes a memory array including a plurality of blocks of memory cells. The device also includes a command interface to receive a command from a source external to the memory device. The device also includes a controller including logic to perform a leakage-suppression process in response to the command. The leakage-suppression process includes performing a soft program operation to increase a threshold voltage of one or more over-erased memory cells in a given block of memory cells and establish an erased state.
