    摘要: A sense amplifier circuit for reading the state of memory cells. In one aspect of the invention, the sense amplifier circuit includes a first stage receiving a cell current derived from the memory cell and a reference current derived from a reference cell, and a second stage receiving the cell current and the reference current. A comparator, coupled to the first stage and the second stage, provides an output indicative of the state of the memory cell based on a difference of the voltages provided by the first stage and the second stage, where the state indicated by the comparator is substantially unaffected by capacitive current components provided by transient behavior of the first and second stages.

    摘要: A current mirror circuit includes a first current-mirror transistor coupled to a second current-mirror transistor. A load is coupled to the second current-mirror transistor. A first current source is coupled to the first current-mirror transistor to cause a bias current to flow through the first current-mirror transistor and a second current source is coupled to the second current-mirror transistor and in parallel with the load to shunt the bias current away from the load.

    摘要: A plurality of memory sub-arrays are formed in a p-well region. Each of the memory sub-arrays has at least one first-level column decoder that includes a plurality of low-voltage MOS selector transistors that are also formed within the p-well. A last-level decoder is formed outside of the p-well region and includes high-voltage MOS transistors to provide an output signal to one of an array of sense amplifiers. During a memory erase mode of operation, a high voltage is provided to bias the p-well region and a plurality of high-voltage switches are activated to provide a high voltage to gate terminals of the selector transistor in the first-level column decoders. One or more intermediate-level column decoders are formed as low-voltage selector transistors in the p-well between the first-level column decoder and the last-level column decoder. Each of the intermediate-level column decoders also has a high-voltage switch that is activated during a memory erase mode of operation to provide a high voltage to gate terminals of the intermediate-level column decoders.

    摘要: A regulated charge pump circuit having two-way switching means that switches between a first feedback pathway that provides a precise and stable voltage output and a second feedback pathway that provides a regulated voltage output with low current consumption from the power source. The first feedback pathway maintains a precise voltage output by regulating a pass device that draws current to the voltage output. The second feedback pathway regulates the voltage output by controlling the connection of a clock input to the charge pump. A variable resistor is used to set the regulated level of the voltage output. A digital-to analog converter is formed by using a combination logic circuit to convert a digital input signal to a control signal for the variable resistor.
