摘要： An embodiment power-on-reset circuit, having a power supply input to receive a power supply voltage, generates a reset signal with a value switching upon the power supply voltage crossing a POR detection level. The power-on-reset circuit has: a PTAT stage having a left branch and a right branch and generating a current equilibrium condition between the currents circulating in the left and right branches upon the power supply voltage reaching the POR detection level; and an output stage coupled to the PTAT stage and generating the reset signal, with the value switching at the occurrence of the current equilibrium condition for the PTAT stage. The power-on-reset circuit further comprises a detection-level generation stage, coupled to the PTAT stage as a central branch thereof to define the value of the POR detection level.

摘要： A method can be used for testing a charge-retention circuit for measurement of a time interval having a storage capacitor coupled between a first biasing terminal and a floating node, and a discharge element coupled between the floating node and a reference terminal. The discharge element is configured to implement discharge of a charge stored in the storage capacitor by leakage through a corresponding dielectric. The method includes biasing the floating node at a reading voltage, detecting a biasing value of the reading voltage, implementing an operation of integration of the discharge current in the discharge element with the reading voltage kept constant at the biasing value, and determining an effective resistance value of the discharge element as a function of the operation of integration.

摘要： A driving stage for a phase change non-volatile memory device may include an output driving unit, which supplies an output driving current during programming of a memory cell, a driving-control unit, which receives an input current and generates a first control signal for controlling supply of the output driving current in such a way that a value thereof has a desired relation with the input current, and a level-shifter element, which carries out a level shift of a voltage of the first control signal for supplying to 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. A calibration unit may carry out an operation of updating of the value of a shift voltage across the level-shifter element, as the value of the input current varies.

摘要： In an embodiment, a non-volatile memory device is proposed. The device includes a plurality of local pull-up stages distributed along a group of memory portions in a memory array. Each local pull-up stage includes, for each wordline that extends through the group of memory portions, a corresponding local pull-up transistor of an NMOS type. The local pull-up transistors of each local pull-up are configured to locally decouple the corresponding wordline from a node at a first reference potential in response to a wordline that extends through the group of memory portions being selected, and locally couple the corresponding wordline to the node at the first reference potential in response to all the wordlines that extend through the group of memory portions being deselected to restore locally a deselection voltage on a wordline previously selected.
