    摘要: At a charging phase, a capacitor (PC) is charged through two complementary charging transistors (TR1, TR2) connected in series to a first terminal (T1) of the capacitor (PC). At a voltage multiplication phase, an input voltage (Vdd) is delivered to the second terminal (T2) of the capacitor and an output voltage (Vout), increased with respect to the input voltage, is recovered at the first terminal (T1) of the, capacitor, and the capacitor is discharged during a discharging phase. During three phases, the substrate (BK2) of the charging transistor (TR2) directly connected to the first terminal (T1) of the capacitor is slaved to the source (S2) of this same charging transistor (TR2), while still keeping the source-substrate junction and the drain-substrate junction of this charging transistor (TR2) reverse-biased.

    摘要: A memory cell is protected against current or voltage spikes. The cell includes a group of redundant data storage nodes for the storage of information in at least one pair of complementary nodes. The cell further includes circuitry for restoring information to its initial state following a current or voltage spike which modifies the information in one of the nodes of the pair using the information stored in the other node. The data storage nodes of each pair in the cell are implanted on opposite sides of an opposite conductivity type well from one another within a region of a substrate defining the boundaries of the memory cell.

    摘要: A circuit includes a memory cell having a high voltage supply node and a low voltage supply node. Power multiplexing circuitry is provided to selectively apply one of a first set of voltages and a second set of voltages to the high and low voltage supply nodes of the cell in dependence upon a current operational mode of the cell. If the cell is in active read or write mode, then the multiplexing circuitry selectively applies the first set of voltages to the high and low voltage supply nodes. Conversely, if the cell is in standby no-read or no-write mode, then the multiplexing circuitry selectively applies the second set of voltages to the high and low voltage supply nodes. The second set of voltages are offset from the first set of voltages. More particularly, a low voltage in the second set of voltages is higher than a low voltage in the first set of voltages, and wherein a high voltage in the second set of voltages is less than a high voltage in the first set of voltages. The cell can be a member of an array of cells, in which case the selective application of voltages applies to the array depending on the active/standby mode of the array. The array can comprise a block or section within an overall memory device including many blocks or sections, in which case the selective application of voltages applies to individual blocks/sections depending on the active/standby mode of the block/section itself.

    摘要: A memory circuit has a high voltage and low voltage supply nodes. One of a first and second sets of voltages is selectively applied to the supply nodes of the memory circuit in dependence upon memory operational mode. If in active read/write mode, then the first set of voltages is selectively applied. Conversely, if in standby no-read/no-write mode, then the second set of voltages is selectively applied. A low voltage in the second set of voltages is greater than a low voltage in the first set of voltages by a selected one of a plurality of low offset voltages, and a high voltage in the second set of voltages is less than a high voltage in the first set of voltages by a selected one of a plurality of high offset voltages. The offset voltages are provided by diode-based circuits that are selectively active. Selective activation is provided by either selectably blowable fuse elements or selectively activated switching elements.
