摘要:
A non-volatile memory device includes a memory array with memory cells arranged in rows and columns. Each cell has respective current-conduction regions and a control-gate region. The control-gate regions of the memory cells of a same row are coupled to a control-gate terminal and biased at a respective control-gate voltage. A control-gate decoder selects and biases the control-gate regions of the rows at respective control voltages according to operations to be performed on the memory cells. The current-conduction regions of the memory cells are arranged within a same bulk well, and the control-gate decoder has a number of driver blocks each of which supplies the control-gate voltages to a respective number of rows of the array. The driver blocks are provided in respective biasing wells, separate and distinct from one another.

An input signal is amplified into an output signal that is to be applied to an electrical load including a capacitive component. An amplifier stage includes a pre-amplifier module to receive a first supply voltage, and an output module to receive a second supply voltage. The pre-amplifier module includes a first gain block to pre-amplify the input signal into a first pre-amplified signal, and a second gain block to pre-amplify the input signal into a second pre-amplified signal. A feedback block feeds back the output signal as a feedback signal. A combination element combines the first pre-amplified signal and the feedback signal into a combined signal. The output module combines the combined signal and the second pre-amplified signal into the output signal.

A digital-to-analog converter (DAC) may include a conversion block providing a first analog value. The DAC may also include an amplification block for receiving the first analog value and providing a second analog value amplified by an amplification factor. The amplification block may include a first input terminal for receiving the first analog value, a second input terminal, and an output terminal for providing the second analog value. The amplification block may also include a first capacitive element and a second capacitive element. The first and second capacitive elements may determine the amplification factor. The amplification block may further include a control unit for recovering a charge at a first terminal of the second capacitive element, and based thereon, the second analog value.

A driving stage for a phase change non-volatile memory device may have an output driving unit which supplies an output driving current during an operation of programming of at least one memory cell. A driving-control unit receives an input current and generates at output a first control signal that controls supply of the output driving current by the output driving unit in such a way that a value of this current has a desired relation with the input current. A level-shifter element, set between the output of the driving-control unit and a control input of the output driving unit, determines a level shift of the voltage of the first control signal so as to supply to the control input of the output driving unit a second control signal, having a voltage value that is increased with respect to, and is a function of, the first control signal.
