Abstract: A data serializer, a latch data device using the same and a controlling method thereof are provided. The data serializer includes at least one data buffer and a de-skew buffer. The data buffer at least receives an inputting data and a controlling signal. An outputting signal and a complementary outputting signal, which is complementary to the outputting signal, are formed when the controlling signal is at a predetermined level. The de-skew buffer receives the complementary outputting signal to accelerate or slow down forming the outputting signal.

Abstract: A voltage regulator supplies a regulated voltage on an output node. The voltage regulator includes a two stage amplifier which controls an output leg including the output node, and a feedback circuit between the output node and an input of the amplifier. The first stage is connected to a first power supply circuit configured to be connected to a first power supply, such as a charge pump. The second stage is connected to a second power supply circuit configured to connect to a second power supply, such as an external power supply. The first power supply and second power supply are different. The second stage is turned off during a transition in current loading, before the first stage, so that final control of the regulated voltage can be achieved using the first stage, and the slew rate is boosted using the second stage.

Abstract: A memory apparatus and a control method are provided. The memory apparatus includes a non-volatile memory array having plural memory groups, and the control method is applied to the non-volatile memory array. The memory groups jointly share a first well, and the control method is applied to the non-volatile memory array. A first memory group among the memory groups is erased according to a first erase command after the memory apparatus is power-on, and a first amount of the memory groups are recovered in a first erase-recover procedure after the first memory group is erased. A second memory group among the memory groups is erased according to a second erase command after the first erase-recover procedure, and a second amount of the memory groups are recovered in a second erase-recover procedure after the second memory group is erased. The first amount is greater than the second amount.
