    摘要: A data receiving stage circuit of a memory circuit receives a serial input signal and a chip enable signal. A data writing circuit of the memory circuit generates at least one of a command signal and a data signal according to the serial input signal. A power supply circuit of the memory circuit generates an operating voltage for a memory cell array to perform a data access operation. A data output stage circuit of the memory circuit outputs a readout data. A controller of the memory circuit performs a switching operation of an operating state of the memory circuit according to a change of the chip enable signal. The controller determines a disable or enable state of the data receiving stage circuit, the data writing circuit, the power supply circuit, and the data output stage circuit according to the operating state.

    摘要: One aspect of the technology is an integrated circuit, comprising a bias circuit and a sense amplifier. The bias circuit has a diode-connected transistor and a first bias voltage. The first bias voltage is represented by a first term inversely dependent on a first mobility of charge carriers of the diode-connected transistor and inversely dependent on a first gate-to-channel dielectric capacitance of the diode-connected transistor. The sense amplifier is coupled to another transistor that has a gate coupled to the first bias voltage of the bias circuit.

    摘要: Techniques are described herein for detecting and recovering over-erased memory cells in a flash memory device. In one embodiment, a flash memory device includes a memory array including a plurality of blocks of memory cells. The device also includes a command interface to receive a command from a source external to the memory device. The device also includes a controller including logic to perform a leakage-suppression process in response to the command. The leakage-suppression process includes performing a soft program operation to increase a threshold voltage of one or more over-erased memory cells in a given block of memory cells and establish an erased state.

The first data interface, the first logic circuit, and the driving circuit are arranged in series to form a first data path for transferring the higher-speed-type data with a first speed. The second data interface, the second logic circuit, and the driving circuit are arranged in series to form a second data path for transferring the lower-speed-type data with a second speed. The first speed is higher the second speed.

    摘要: A memory device includes command logic allowing for a command protocol allowing interruption of a first command sequence, such as a page write sequence, and then to proceed directly to receive and decode a second command sequence, such as a read sequence, without latency associated, completing the first command sequence. Also, the command logic is configured to be responsive to a third command sequence after the second command sequence and its associated embedded operation have been completed, which completes the interrupted first command sequence and enables execution of an embedded operation identified by the first command sequence. A memory controller supporting such protocols is described.
