  • Patent number: 10056121
    Abstract: Various implementations described herein may refer to and may be directed to circuitry for an integrated circuit using topology configurations. For instance, in one implementation, such circuitry may include a memory array having a plurality of memory cells. Such circuitry may also include one or more reconfigurable sense amplifier devices coupled to the memory array and configured to amplify differential voltage levels received from the memory array. The reconfigurable sense amplifier devices may include a plurality of sense amplifier circuits configured to be arranged in one of a plurality of topology configurations, where the topology configurations include a parallel configuration and a cross parallel configuration. The reconfigurable sense amplifier devices may also include one or more switches configured to set the plurality of sense amplifier circuits into the plurality of topological configurations based on one or more control bits.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 6, 2017
    Date of Patent: August 21, 2018
    Assignees: ARM Limited, The Regents of the University of Michigan
    Inventors: Mahmood Khayatzadeh, Massimo Bruno Alioto, David Theodore Blaauw, Dennis Michael Chen Sylvester, Fakhruddin Ali Bohra
