  • Patent number: 7983098
    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.

  • Patent number: 7551498
    Abstract: A redundant memory array has r columns of redundant memory cells, r redundant senses, and a redundant column decoder. Redundant address registers store addresses of defective regular memory cells. Redundant latches are provided in n groups of r latches. Redundancy comparison logic compares addresses of defective regular memory cells with an external input address. If the comparison is true, what is provided is: a DISABLE_LOAD signal to disable the regular senses for one of the n groups of m columns, an ENABLE_LATCH signal to one of the n groups of m columns to disables corresponding regular senses, and one or r REDO signals to a respective one of the r redundant latches in one of the n groups that is disabled. The selected one of the redundant latches activates one of the r redundant senses to access a redundant column.

  • Patent number: 7447071
    Abstract: A plurality of memory sub-arrays are formed in a p-well region. Each of the memory sub-arrays has at least one first-level column decoder that includes a plurality of low-voltage MOS selector transistors that are also formed within the p-well. A last-level decoder is formed outside of the p-well region and includes high-voltage MOS transistors to provide an output signal to one of an array of sense amplifiers. During a memory erase mode of operation, a high voltage is provided to bias the p-well region and a plurality of high-voltage switches are activated to provide a high voltage to gate terminals of the selector transistor in the first-level column decoders. One or more intermediate-level column decoders are formed as low-voltage selector transistors in the p-well between the first-level column decoder and the last-level column decoder.
