Abstract:
A static, single-ended cascode voltage switch logic system arranged in a tree with multiple levels. Each level of each branch of the tree is comprised of a complementary pair. The invention is preferrably implemented in CMOS, so that each complementary pair consists of a p-type and an n-type transistor, the p-type FET connected at its source to a high voltage reference and at its drain to the drain of the n-type FET. The source of the n-type FET is connected to the common drain connections of the next lower-level complementary pair, or to a low voltage reference. The approach eliminates the need for passive loads, clocked loads or complementary signals, since each node is actively held high or low.
Abstract:
In a circuit for selecting a random number (N) of potentials (Ui . . . ), which is integrated in accordance with the complementary insulated-gate field-effect transistor technique, one transmission gate (G . . . ) is associated with each potential, with the switching section of the gate lying between the potential (Ui . . . ) and the output (U), and the two control inputs of the respective transmission gate (G . . . ) are connected either directly or via a respectively associated inverter (I . . . ) to the corresponding output of a CMOS-1-ex-n-decoder. This decoder may consist of a 1-ex-n-open-circuit-decoder (SD) and of a 1-ex-n-short-circuit decoder (KD) whose address inputs are connected in pairs to one another and whose like outputs (1 . . . 8) are connected to one another. The open-circuit decoder (SD) consists of transistors (TP) of the one channel conductivity type, and the short-circuit decoder (KD) consists of transistors (TN) of the other channel conductivity type.
Abstract:
A CMOS digital decoder has a plurality of circuits having first and second output nodes. A first transistor is used to precharge the first output node and a second transistor is used to precharge the second output node. A third transistor responsive to an enable signal is used to enable the decoder. A fourth transistor is coupled between the third transistor and the first output node and a fifth transistor is coupled between the third transistor and the second output node. A plurality of transistors can be in series between the fourth transistor and the third transistor, or the plurality of transistors can be in parallel between the first and second output nodes depending upon the type of decoder output desired. The decoder can be made a static decoder by coupling a pair of back-to-back inverters to each of the output nodes.

Abstract:
A boot-strapped decoder circuit in accordance with the present invention activates a selected word line output in response to an input address. The decoder circuit includes a plurality of row decoders, each of which has a plurality of word line outputs. The row decoders respond to a select signal that identifies one of the row decoders as a selected row decoder. The select signal is generated by a regular predecoder based on the most significant bits of the input address. Low order predecoder circuitry utilizes the least significant bits of the input address to generate a low order decoder signal. The selected row decoder includes boosting means coupled to each of the selected row decoder outputs and responsive to the low order predecode signal for generating a boot-strapped output voltage on a selected word line output of the selected row decoder.

Decoder and method utilizing logic circuitry for decoding multi-bit digital signals. An input decoder decodes subsets of the input signals to provide a plurality of intermediate signals which are selectively combined to provide output signals which represent a desired decoding of the input signals. The intermediate signals are applied to generally parallel bus lines which extend centrally of the substrate on which the decoder is constructed. The logic circuits are arranged in blocks along both sides of the bus lines, with all of the bus lines extending past all of the logic blocks, and conductors extending transversely of the bus lines carry the appropriate intermediate signals from the bus lines to the logic blocks.

Abstract:
Technologies are generally described herein for encoding a message. Technologies are also generally described herein for decoding an encoded message. The message may be encoded and/or decoded according to a mapping rule. The mapping rule may enable multiple messages to be successively written to the same block in a solid state drive without an erasure operation.
