摘要: Various embodiments for configurable memory storage systems are disclosed. The configurable memory storages selectively choose an operational voltage signal from among multiple voltage signals to dynamically control various operational parameters. For example, the configurable memory storages selectively choose a maximum voltage signal from among the multiple voltage signals to maximize read/write speed. As another example, the configurable memory storages selectively choose a minimum voltage signal from among the multiple voltage signals to minimize power consumption.

摘要: A device includes a diode circuit. The diode circuit is coupled between a first input/output (I/O) pin and a second I/O pin of a circuit, and is configured to be turned off. The diode circuit is configured to provide a first discharging path for the first I/O pin of the circuit and a second discharging path for the second I/O pin of the circuit. The diode circuit includes a first transistor and a second transistor. The first transistor is between a node and the first I/O pin. The second transistor is between the node and the second I/O pin. The node is configured to receive a first voltage, and control terminals of the first transistor and the second transistor are configured to receive a second voltage. A voltage difference between the first voltage and the second voltage is configured to turn off the first transistor and the second transistor.
