    摘要: A method supplies voltage to a bit line of a memory device. The method includes precharging, with a precharging device, the bit line to an output potential, deactivating the precharging device during a read action related to the bit line, reading, during the read action, an information via the bit line, and routing, during the read action, a virtual voltage supply line to a supply potential of the memory device to supply voltage to memory cells of the memory device assigned to the bit line. The precharging device of the bit line is activated/deactivated as a function of the potential of the virtual voltage supply line.

    摘要: It is proposed that bitline inversion coding data be integrally stored in the structure of a column multiplexer of a storage device. For this purpose, connections to a predefined potential are selectively provided at connection points, which are respectively assigned to one of the bitlines connected to the column multiplexer, in dependence on whether or not the assignment of a first state and of a second state of memory cells, connected to the bitline, to a binary value “0” and to a binary value “1” is inverted for the respective bitline. The connection points are connected to a common nodal point via switching means. The switching means are activated through control signals of the column multiplexer. Selection signals for activating inverter means, in order to effect a selective inversion of values read out from the memory cells, are generated in dependence on the signal level at the common nodal point. A precharging of the common nodal point is preferably effected between to read-out operations in each case, for which purpose precharging switching means are provided.

    摘要: A memory arrangement, particularly a ROM, having memory cells, local virtual supply voltage lines, word lines and result lines may also include global virtual supply voltage lines that run along the width of the memory arrangement parallel to the word lines. The local virtual supply voltage lines run parallel to the result lines, and perpendicularly to the word lines where the each local virtual supply voltage line runs only within a block of the memory arrangement. Each global virtual supply voltage line, in each block through which it runs, is connected to one local virtual supply voltage line. The coupling capacitance between the supply voltage lines and the result lines, and the inherent capacitance of the supply voltage lines are reduced, reducing the power consumption and increasing the clock frequency of the memory arrangement.

    摘要: A system and a method to improve signal synchronization in a plurality of signal paths traversing multiple voltage domains. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure a memory arrangement is preferred for signal synchronization. All read/write and clocks signals and other control signals are driven to periphery supply (Vp) levels, except wordline (WL[i]) signals which are driven at core supply (Vc) level. By doing so, lower average and peak current consumption associated with core supply (Vc) is achieved with constant delays and maintaining required signal synchronization in the signal paths traversing multiple voltage domains.
