    摘要: A dynamic NOR circuit includes a pre-charge transistor coupled between a first voltage supply node and a dynamic node to pre-charge the dynamic node. The dynamic NOR circuit includes a first keeper circuit having a first keeper transistor and a second keeper transistor serially coupled between the first voltage supply node and the dynamic node. The dynamic NOR circuit includes a first pull down circuit coupled between the dynamic node and ground. A first input signal is coupled to a gate of a first pull-down transistor in the first pull-down circuit and is also coupled to a gate of the first keeper transistor. A first keeper enable signal is coupled to a gate of the second keeper transistor. Additional keeper circuits and pull down circuits coupled to the dynamic node allow the dynamic NOR structure to handle a plurality of input signals.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention include an apparatus, method, and system for integrating data processing logic with memory. An embodiment of a memory integrated circuit is designed to execute a task on the data in a memory array within a memory integrated circuit. The memory integrated circuit can include a memory array, a data access component, a data holding component, and a logic component. The data access component can be coupled to the memory array and configured to provide an address to the memory array. The data holding component can be coupled to the memory array and configured to temporarily store the data in the memory array located at the address. The logic component can be coupled to both the data access component and the data holding component, and be configured to execute a task using data received from the data holding component. The logic component can include combinational or sequential logic.

    摘要: A semiconductor memory device that includes a command decoder, a refresh controller, an oscillator and a delay unit. The command decoder generates a self refresh command, and the oscillator generates an oscillation signal. The refresh controller generates a refresh control signal and a recovery signal in response to the self refresh command and the oscillation signal. The delay unit transitions internal nodes included in the delay unit that are not transitioned during a refresh period in response to the refresh control signal and the recovery signal.

    摘要: In some embodiments, one register of a non-volatile memory can be used for read operations and another register of the non-volatile memory can be used for programming operations. For instance, a cache register of a NAND flash memory can be used in connection with read operations and a data register of the NAND flash memory can be used in connection with programming operations. Data registers of a plurality of non-volatile memory devices, such as NAND flash memory devices, can implement a distributed volatile cache (DVC) architecture in a managed memory device, according to some embodiments. According to certain embodiments, data can be moved and/or swapped between registers to perform certain operations in the non-volatile memory devices without losing the data stored while other operations are performed.

    摘要: A memory apparatus includes a host device and a slave device. The host device stores verification data. The slave device includes a memory unit, a control unit, and a logic unit. The control unit drives the memory unit to provide storage data in a data transmission sub-period, and further provides a control signal, indicating the first verification data, in a dummy sub-period. The logic unit provides first preamble data, indicating substantially a same data value as the verification data, in the dummy sub-period in response to the first control signal. The preamble data and the storage data are transmitted according to an internal clock signal. The host device samples the first preamble data according to an external clock signal, and determines whether the external and the internal clock signals are synchronized by comparing the first preamble data and the first verification data.

    摘要: A phase-change memory (PCM) includes a matrix of storage cells, including at least a first group with at least one cell. Each cell includes a phase change material having at least a first resistance value and a second resistance value, such that the first group can have an identical message encoded therein in at least a first way and a second way. The memory also includes a controller configured to encode the identical message in the at least first group the first or second way, based on which way causes the least amount of writing cost, given current levels of the group. Another embodiment of memory includes a matrix of storage cells. Each of the storage cells has at least two levels, such that each of the storage cells can have an identical message encoded therein in at least a first way and a second way.
