    Abstract: A memory device supporting multi-address read operations improves throughput on a bi-directional serial port. The device includes a memory array and an input/output port having an input mode and an output mode. The input/output port has at least one signal line used alternately in both the input and output modes. A controller includes logic configured to execute a multi-address read operation in response to receiving a read command on the input/output port in the input mode, the multi-address read operation including receiving a first address and a second address using the at least one signal line in the input mode before switching to the output mode, switching to the output mode and outputting data identified by the first address using the at least one signal line.

    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: Disclosed is a semiconductor device that has a first layer including conductive material, a bond wire coupled to an upper surface of the first layer, and a second layer including conductive material underneath the first layer. One or more interconnects couple the second layer to the first layer. In an example, the second layer has a plurality of discontinuous sections that includes (i) a connected section coupled to the one or more interconnects and (ii) one or more floating sections that are at least in part surrounded by the connected section, where the one or more floating sections are electrically floating and isolated from the connected section. The semiconductor device also includes an under-pad circuit on a substrate underneath the second layer, the under-pad circuit to transmit signals to one or more components external to the semiconductor device though the first layer.

    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.
