    Abstract: An apparatus and method for improving the performance of an electronic device is disclosed. An idle voltage state is introduced by an adaptive voltage generator when providing or removing a high voltage signal from a line or a node in a circuit. The idle state reduces the undesirable effects of switching disturbances caused by sudden voltage changes in a line or node.

    Abstract: A signal generator circuit is configured to generate program signals for a memory array. The program signals are applied to word lines in the memory array, and have a transient state based on a coupling characteristic of the word lines and selector gates. The transient state is configured to minimize coupling between the word lines and the gates of the selectors so that a state of each selector remains unchanged during the transient state.

    Abstract: A fast power-on band-gap reference circuit includes a band-gap logic and a band-gap dummy logic. During power-on, both the band-gap logic and the band-gap dummy logic are activated and charges the capacitance of a band-gap line. When an output of the band-gap logic reaches a predetermined value, the band-gap dummy logic is deactivated. Thus, the band-gap dummy logic, with a high drive capability, charges the band-gap capacitance at the same time the band-gap logic starts to generate the compensate temperature voltage. In this manner, the band-gap reference circuit reaches its stable, functional state faster than conventional circuits, in the range of a few microseconds.

    Abstract: An improved method and device for column decoding for flash memory devices utilizes a burst page with a length greater than the length of a logical page. When a misalignment of an initial address occurs, valid reads across logical page boundaries are possible. The memory device enters the wait state only when a read crosses a burst page boundary. This minimizes the amount of time in which the memory device enters the wait state. In the preferred embodiment, this is achieved with a different management of the control signals that feed the third level of a three-level decoding stage column decoder. Changes to the architecture or in the number of column decoder selectors are not required. The memory access time during synchronous reads is thus improved.
