Patents by Inventor Galaly Ahmad

Galaly Ahmad has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Apparatus including internal test mechanism and associated methods
    Patent number: 11848067
    Abstract: An apparatus including a test validation circuit and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. The apparatus may include a self-test circuit configured to implement at least a portion of a self-test process that determines operating conditions of the apparatus. The test validation circuit may be configured to generate a flag based on comparing (1) an input stream or a portion thereof associated with the self-test to (2) test data associated with the self-test. The flag may represent a validity associated with the implementation of the self-test process or the portion thereof.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 7, 2021
    Date of Patent: December 19, 2023
    Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.
    Inventors: Joshua E. Alzheimer, Galaly Ahmad, Cory J. Kuffner

  • APPARATUSES INCLUDING TEMPERATURE-BASED THRESHOLD VOLTAGE COMPENSATED SENSE AMPLIFIERS AND METHODS FOR COMPENSATING SAME
    Publication number: 20220270654
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for temperature-compensated operation of electronic devices are described. For example, an apparatus for performing voltage compensation on a sense amplifier based on temperature may include a sense amplifier control circuit coupled to the sense amplifier to provide a compensation pulse to the sense amplifier, wherein the sense amplifier operates in a voltage compensation phase during the compensation pulse. The apparatus may determine the compensation pulse responsive to a voltage compensation duration signal that is based on the operating temperature of the apparatus. The voltage compensation occurs when there is no activate command immediately before or immediately after so that compensation duration change do not happen during an activate command from the command decoder.
