    摘要: A circuit for determining a threshold indication of temperature with respect to a threshold temperature. The circuit includes a timer circuit and a temperature sensor circuit having an counter whose output has a relationship to temperature. At the end of a period determined by the timer circuit, a comparator circuit compares the count of the counter with an indication of the threshold temperature to determine a state of the threshold indication. In response to a change in state of the threshold indication, the circuit changes one of the count time or the counter output's relationship to temperature to provide a hysteresis for the threshold indication.

    摘要: A double-rate memory has an array of single word line memory cells arranged in rows and columns. The single word line memory cells provide and store data via a first port. Addressing and control circuitry is coupled to the array of single word line memory cells. The addressing and control circuitry receives an address enable signal to initiate an access of the array whereby an address is received, decoded, and corresponding data retrieved or stored. Edge detection circuitry receives a memory clock and provides the address enable signal upon each rising edge and each falling edge of the memory clock to perform two memory operations in a single cycle of the memory clock. A memory operation includes addressing the memory and storing data in the memory or retrieving and latching data from the memory. In another form a double-rate dual port memory permits two independent read/write memory accesses in a single memory cycle.

    摘要: A sense amplifier (40) uses a body shorting device (60) to selectively electrically short circuit the bodies of two transistors (44, 48) that function as a differential sensing pair. Equalization of charge injected into the bodies functions to minimize offset voltage between the two bodies. The body shorting device selectively shorts the bodies in response to a body control signal after a sense operation and after asserting a precharging signal to initiate precharging of the sense amplifier's outputs.

    摘要: A memory is written via data lines which are driven by a write driver. The data lines are coupled to a selected bit line pair as determined by a column address. The data lines are driven to a logic state representative of a data input signal by a write driver. The write driver is enabled during the presence of a write enable pulse. The write enable pulse is generated in response to a read mode to write mode transition and also in response to a transition of the data input signal. The data lines are precharged in response to a transition of the data input signal that occurs during the write mode.

    摘要: In accordance with at least one embodiment, column level power control granularity is provided to control a low power state of a memory using a drowsy column control bit to control the low power state at an individual column level to protect the memory from weak bit failure. In accordance with at least one embodiment, a method of using a dedicated row of bit cells in a memory array is provided wherein each bit in the row controls the low power state of a respective column in the array. A special control signal is used to access the word line, and the word line is outside of the regular word line address space. A mechanism is provided to designate the weak bit column and set the control bit corresponding to that particular column to disable the drowsy/low power state for that column.
