  • Patent number: 9881891
    Abstract: The invention provides a method of bonding wire between first and second bonding points with a bonding tool. It comprises the steps of forming a first bond at the first bonding point with the bonding tool, forming a first kink located over the first bond, and moving the bonding tool to a first position spaced from the first kink by a predetermined distance to release a length of wire from the bonding tool. It further comprises the step of moving the bonding tool in a direction away from the second bonding point to a second position which is outside a plane comprising the first bonding point, the second bonding point, and the first kink. It also comprises the steps of forming a second kink which lies outside the plane, and moving the bonding tool to the second bonding point to form a second bond.

  • Patent number: 9805799
    Abstract: A nonvolatile memory device includes a first area of single-level cells (SLCs) and a second area of multi-level cells (MLCs). The device determines whether a free block can be created by copying data between memory blocks of the first area. Upon determining that the free memory block can be created by copying data between the memory blocks of the first area, the device copies the data between the memory blocks of the first area to create the free memory block. Otherwise, the device selects at least one memory block from the first area and allocates the selected memory block as free memory block by copying the data stored in the selected memory block of the first area to the second area.

  • Patent number: 9779055
    Abstract: An integrated circuit device has a first processing unit, a second processing unit, an external interface, and a control program controlling the first processing unit and the second processing unit, and in communication with the external interface. The first processing unit is configured to respond to a reset signal from the external interface by transmitting an answer-to-reset (ATR) to the external interface. When the first processing unit implements an initialization process, the control program makes a determination as to whether a shutdown state flag is set. In response to detecting the shutdown state flag set, the control program controls the second processing unit to transmit to the external interface diagnostic data of the integrated circuit device.
