摘要: A memory system includes a plurality of memory cells. A memory cell includes an anti-fuse transistor, a first select unit, and a second select unit. The anti-fuse transistor has a first terminal, a second terminal, and a control terminal coupled to an anti-fuse control line. The first select unit is coupled to the first terminal of the anti-fuse transistor, a first bit line, and an odd word line. The second select unit is coupled to the second terminal of the anti-fuse transistor, a second bit line, and an even word line. During a pre-screen operation of the memory cell, the odd word line and the even word line are at different voltages.

摘要: A sensing circuit includes a sensing stage. The sensing stage includes a voltage clamp, a P-type transistor and an N-type transistor. The voltage clamp receives a first power supply voltage and generates a second power supply voltage. The source terminal of the P-type transistor receives the second power supply voltage. The gate terminal of the P-type transistor receives a cell current from a selected circuit of a non-volatile memory. The drain terminal of the N-type transistor is connected with the drain terminal of the P-type transistor. The gate terminal of the N-type transistor receives a bias voltage. The source terminal of the N-type transistor receives a ground voltage. In a sensing period, the second power supply voltage from the voltage clamp is fixed and lower than the first power supply voltage.

摘要: When a driving circuit of an anti-fuse memory device programs a selected anti-fuse memory cell, voltage differences between unselected bit lines and unselected anti-fuse control lines would be eliminated or decreased to an acceptable value by floating unselected anti-fuse control lines or by applying a second control line voltage to the unselected anti-fuse control lines. Leakage currents flowing from unselected bit lines through ruptured anti-fuse transistors of the anti-fuse memory device to the unselected anti-fuse control lines would be decreased or eliminated, and program disturbance would be avoided.

摘要: A self-timed reset pulse generator includes a flip-flop, a tracking block, and a tracking circuit. The flip-flop receives an input signal and a feedback signal and outputting a reset signal. The tracking block has replicating cells coupled in series and replicates a structure in an external device. The tracking block has a first terminal and a second terminal. The first terminal and the second terminal are taking from the tracking block at a same location or two different locations. The tracking circuit unit receives the reset signal and receives the first terminal and the second terminal for respectively discharging the tracking block at the first terminal and sensing a voltage level at the second terminal as triggered by the reset signal. A track-out signal serving as the feed back signal is output to the flip-flop when the voltage level is less than or equal to a threshold.

摘要: A power-up sequence protection circuit includes a first transistor, a second transistor, a third transistor, and a fourth transistor. First terminals of the first transistor, the second transistor, and the fourth transistor are coupled for receiving a program voltage. A control terminal of the third transistor is used for receiving a device voltage. A second terminal of the fourth transistor is used for outputting the program voltage when the fourth transistor is turned on. When the program voltage is unexpectedly powered up while the device voltage is not powered up, the first transistor is turned on, the second transistor is turned off, and the fourth transistor is turned off so as to block the program voltage outputted from the second terminal of the fourth transistor.
