    摘要: Nonvolatile integrated circuit memory devices, such as EEPROMs, use unselected shared latching sense amplifiers to latch data from memory cells which are to be reprogrammed after a page erase, and to resupply the latch data to the memory cells which are to be programmed after erase, to thereby internally reprogram the latched data into erased memory cells after page programming. Transferring circuits and methods are provided for transferring data between shared latching sense amplifiers to permit internal reprogramming. High speed and simplified reprogramming of EEPROMs is thereby provided.

    摘要: An electrically erasable and programmable nonvolatile memory device (EEPROM) such as a flash memory, is pin compatible with a dynamic random access memory device (DRAM), such that flash memory may be connected to a DRAM bus. Preferably, the flash memory is read and write timing-compatible with the DRAM read and write signals and is also preferably block read and block write timing compatible with DRAM block read and block write signals. The flash memory accepts signals to perform sleep and erase functions from signal lines of a DRAM bus which are not used by a DRAM. In order to perform a block erase, which is a characteristic of flash memory, the device preferably accepts an instruction to perform a block erase from signal lines of a DRAM bus which are not used by a DRAM and a block address for the block erase from the most significant bit address lines of the DRAM bus.

    摘要: A system of the present invention uses small swing differential source synchronous voltage and timing reference (SSVTR and /SSVTR) signals to compare single-ended signals of the same slew rate generated at the same time from the same integrated circuit for high frequency signaling. The SSVTR and /SSVTR signals toggle every time the valid signals are driven by the transmitting integrated circuit. Each signal receiver includes two comparators, one for comparing the signal against SSVTR and the other for comparing the signal against /SSVTR. A present signal binary value determines which comparator is coupled to the receiver output, optionally by using exclusive-OR logic with SSVTR and /SSVTR. The coupled comparator in the receiver detects whether change in signal binary value occurred or not until SSVTR and /SSVTR have changed their binary value. The same comparator is coupled if the signal transitions. The comparator is de-coupled if no transition occurs.

    摘要: A system and method increases signal strength at a receiver in transmission lines with high attenuation. The system comprises a transmitter for transmitting a pair of complementary oscillating voltage and timing references and a signal across transmission lines to a receiver. Since the references oscillate every bit time, the references do not suffer from the lone pulse problem but do suffer from attenuation. Since the signal may remain in a single state for several bit times, the signal may suffer from the lone pulse problem. The receiver maintains the references and the signal oscillating about a reference voltage, and compares the signal against the references. Based on the comparison, the receiver determines whether the current signal state has changed since the last signal state. Since the receiver compares one signal that suffers from the lone pulse problem against a reference that does not, signal strength is improved. Further, to improve signal strength, the transmitter can include a pulse driver to drive further the signal in a particular direction while the signal is transitioning.
