    摘要: A system on chip (SOC) is provided. The SOC includes a system core logic, a voltage regulator, a clock generator and a system balance circuit. The voltage regulator provides an operating voltage to the system core logic and receives a current setting signal to set the voltage regulator to a low current mode or a high current mode. The clock generator provides a reference clock signal. The system balance circuit receives the reference clock signal to provide the current setting signal to the voltage regulator and provides the system clock signal to the system core logic, wherein the current setting signal is used to set the voltage regulator to the high current mode before the system clock signal is enabled, and set the voltage regulator to the low current mode after the system clock signal is enabled.

    摘要: A non-volatile memory (NVM) device includes a logic memory circuit, a NVM element, a writing circuit and a reading circuit. The input terminal of the writing circuit and the output terminal of the reading circuit are coupled to the output terminal of the logic memory circuit. The first output terminal of the writing circuit and the first input terminal of the reading circuit are coupled to the first terminal of the NVM element. The second output terminal of the writing circuit and the second input terminal of the reading circuit are coupled to the second terminal of the NVM element. During a writing period, the writing circuit writes the stored data of the logic memory circuit into the NVM element. During a reading period, the reading circuit restores the data of the NVM element to the output terminal of the logic memory circuit.

    摘要: A data processing system includes a memory device, a predetermined voltage generating circuit and a reference voltage generating circuit. The memory device stores system data and operates based on a system high voltage. The predetermined voltage generating circuit is coupled to the memory device and generates a predetermined voltage having a target voltage level according to a reference voltage. The target voltage level is the voltage level required for performing a write operation or an erase operation of the memory device. The reference voltage generating circuit generates the reference voltage. A voltage generator of the reference voltage generating circuit is enabled or disabled in response to a write protection signal, so as to selectively output the reference voltage. When the voltage generator is disabled, the reference voltage will not be output and the predetermined voltage having a target voltage level will accordingly not be generated.
