  • Patent number: 9728250
    Abstract: A memory write tracking device is applied to a data write operation to at least a memory cell row. The memory write tracking device includes a dummy cell row, a variation sensor, a judging device and a word-line pulse generator. The dummy cell row includes a plurality of dummy memory cells for simulating the data write operation to the memory cell row. The variation sensor senses a set of circuit parameters for write ability of the memory cell row. The judging device determines a threshold number according to a change of the set of circuit parameters and sends an enabling signal when a threshold number of the dummy memory cells have been successfully written with the data. The word-line pulse generator determines a write cycle of the data write operation in response to the enabling signal. An associated memory write tracking method is also provided.

  • Patent number: 9378808
    Abstract: A pulse width modulation device for use in an N-ports random access memory having a plurality of word line sets, wherein a specified word line set comprises N port word lines. The pulse width modulation device comprises a status detecting device and a clock signal generator. The status detecting device is coupled to the N port word lines having a first and a second port word line, and outputs a first control signal when both the voltage values of the first and second port word lines are within a first level range. The clock signal generator is coupled to the status detecting device and the specified word line set, and generates and outputs a first clock signal to the specified word line set, wherein a duration of the first clock signal kept within the first level range is variable in response to the first control signal.

  • Patent number: 9275726
    Abstract: A static memory cell is provided. The static memory cell includes a data latch circuit and a voltage provider. The data latch circuit is configured to store a bit data. The data latch circuit has a first inverter and a second inverter, and the first inverter and the second inverter are coupled to each other. The first inverter and the second inverter respectively receive a first voltage and a second voltage as power voltages. The voltage provider provides the first voltage and the second voltage to the data latch circuit. When the bit data is written to the data latch circuit, the voltage provider adjusts a voltage value of one of the first and second voltages according to the bit data.

  • Patent number: 7840716
    Abstract: A communication method for storage device on the basis of file access is provided. When a storage controller is added with a nonstandard control function, a command file and a response file are virtually produced in the memory as the communicating interface with an application program. The virtual files can then be read and written using the standard storage control protocol. This avoids modifying the communicating interface between the driver program and the application program for the newly added nonstandard control protocol.

  • Publication number: 20050289521
    Abstract: A method for controlling an embedded system device via standard file I/O from a host computer linked to the embedded system device is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, the embedded system device and the host computer is connected through USB. The embedded system device is controlled via management of a system control file through a file I/O interface displaying in the host computer. The system control file in the embedded system device can be read, stored, modified and updated through the file I/O interface.
