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.

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 read-out circuit for or in a ROM memory, comprises an input, a comparator circuit, a threshold setting, and a control signal generator for driving the threshold setting generator. A read signal can be coupled into the input. The read signal, depending on the information contained in the read signal, comprises a high signal level relative to a reference potential or a low signal level relative to a reference potential. The comparator circuit compares the read signal with a settable threshold, the threshold setting circuit is designed for setting the threshold of the comparator circuit relative to the high and low signal levels, and the control signal generator generates a control signal similar to the read signal.

摘要:
The invention relates to a ROM memory cell comprising a first terminal connected to a word line, comprising a second terminal and comprising a third terminal, the second terminal being connected to a bit line and/or the third terminal being connected to a supply line for precharging the third terminal. The ROM memory cell according to the invention is distinguished by the fact that the same reference potential is in each case applied to the first terminal, the second terminal and/or the third terminal in a standby operating mode. The invention furthermore relates to a ROM memory component comprising such ROM memory cells, and to a method for reading from the ROM memory cell.
