    摘要: A memory module decodes an address to determine a one or more wordline select pattern, or other spatial select pattern. An encoder determines an encoded value based upon the wordline select pattern that is compared to an expected encode value. The encode value has fewer than twice the number of address bits used to determine the wordline select pattern.

    摘要: A first logic state is at a first output voltage level at a first output of a level shifter that selects a first negative regulation voltage level in response to the first logic state. A negative supply voltage begins at first potential and decreases to the first negative regulation voltage level. The first output voltage level decreases as the negative supply voltage decreases. The first output of the level shifter is switched from the first logic state to a second logic state in response to the negative supply voltage reaching the first negative regulation voltage level. The second logic state is provided at a second output voltage level that selects a second negative regulation voltage level for the negative regulation voltage. The first output of the level shifter remains at the second logic state but is reduced in voltage.

    摘要: A memory device includes a word line driver circuit, a write voltage generator for providing a write voltage to the word line driver during a write operation to memory cells coupled to the word line driver circuit, and a write bias generator including an output node for providing a write bias voltage that is different from the write voltage to the word line driver circuit during a write operation to memory cells coupled to the word line driver circuit. The write bias voltage is used to reduce current drawn by the word line driver circuit from the write voltage generator during a write operation to memory cells coupled to the word line driver circuit.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for improved formal scan chain equivalence checking to verify the operation of components in a VLSI integrated circuit is described in connection with using symbolic simulation for verification of scan chain equivalency between different modeling representations of a circuit-under-test. The present invention enhances previous techniques by loading each scannable state-element in the circuit design with a symbolic expression that characterizes the logical location of the element and performing a scan shift operation to verify the contents of each scannable state-element at the scan-out and other primary output pins of the design.
