    摘要: A plurality of single transistor memory cells arrayed in columns with the memory cells within a column connected to one or the other of precharged first and second output lines. An input line connected to the gate of the single transistor causes the first output line to be pulled to a first voltage when the cell is programmed a "true" and to be pulled to a second voltage when the cell is programmed a "complement". A pair of cross-coupled transistors connected between the first and second output lines of a column cause the second output line to be maintained at the precharged voltage when programmed a "true" and causes the first output line to be maintained at a precharged voltage when programmed a "complement".

    摘要: A multi-purpose device that can serve as either a resistor, MOSFET or JFET is disclosed. The resistor is formed by selecting a first metal interconnect configuration, the MOSFET is formed by selecting a second metal interconnect configuration, and the JFET is formed by selecting a third metal interconnect configuration. Because of the dual transistor/resistor nature of this device, the density of a typical gate array that uses resistors may be increased. In addition, and because no special processing is typically required, the device may be desirable for use in other types of structures such as standard cells and custom logic.

    摘要: A SEU hardening circuit for use with a data storage circuit is described. The SEU hardening circuit may use a transmission gate to provide full rail drive during a write operation. The SEU hardening circuit may also be configured so that the transistors of the SEU hardening circuit are not susceptible to parasitic bipolar turn-on particularly during a radiation event, which can increase the SEU protection provided by the circuit.

    摘要: Behaviors of a transistor during a dose rate event can be modeled using a circuit simulation software package. A subcircuit model replaces a transistor in a circuit design to be simulated. The subcircuit model can be in the form of a schematic-based representation or a netlist. The subcircuit model provides a model of a source junction and a drain junction in the transistor during the dose rate event. The subcircuit model also includes the size of the transistor being replaced and the dose rate of the dose rate event. Once the transistor is replaced with the subcircuit model, a dose rate simulation may be performed to determine the dose rate hardness of the circuit design.

    摘要: A Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) having a split write control is described. The SRAM includes bit, write, and write-word lines. Each memory cell within the SRAM includes a delay which is coupled to a dedicated write-word line. When a cell is not being written, its delay receives a delay signal on its associated write-word line, which increases the response time of the cell. When a cell is to be written, however, its delay receives a bypass signal on its associated write-word line, which decreases the response time of the SRAM cell.

The data storage device provides drive to the data node Q and the data complement node QN. A hardening circuit includes first, second, third, fourth, and fifth transistor circuits. The first and second transistor circuits form a first node therebetween, and the first transistor circuit prevents the data node Q from changing states in the presence of radiation. The third and fourth transistor circuits form a second node therebetween, and the third transistor circuit prevents the data complement node QN from changing states in the presence of radiation. The first node is coupled to the third transistor circuit, and the second node is coupled to the first transistor circuit. The fifth transistor circuit prevents the first and second nodes from floating.
