  • Patent number: 11309055
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are disclosed, including test systems for memory devices. Example test systems and methods include power loss logic to determine when one or more test conditions have been met in a memory operation between a host device and a memory device under test. Example test systems and methods include a function to then instruct a power management device to trigger a power loss event.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 20, 2018
    Date of Patent: April 19, 2022
    Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.

  • Patent number: 11282553
    Abstract: Devices and techniques are disclosed herein for determining, using a host device, a timing relationship between a data strobe signal, such as from an embedded MultiMediaCard (eMMC) device, and an internal clock signal. The host device can control a delay circuit using the determined timing relationship, such as to align received read data for sampling, or to determine or adjust a delay value of the delay circuit.

  • Patent number: 7180786
    Abstract: A row decoder for an electrically programmable NAND memory further includes a first means for keeping at least a control node of an addressed memory block charged at a select voltage. A second means decouples all select lines from a global select line. A third means provides an access voltage to the select line corresponding to an addressed memory block for enabling respective access elements and for providing an access inhibition voltage to the select lines corresponding to a non-addressed memory block. The first, second and third means are activatable in a testing operation.
