The multi-level direct current converter includes a controller, a flying capacitor, two switching transistor groups, and an inductor. The method for controlling a flying capacitor includes: in response to that an absolute value of a difference between a sampling voltage and a reference voltage of the flying capacitor is greater than a first threshold, adjusting a duty cycle difference between first switching transistors in two switching transistor groups or a phase difference between carriers of first switching transistors in two switching transistor groups based on a magnitude of an inductor current. According to this application, a voltage of the flying capacitor can be controlled, to improve operation stability of the multi-level direct current converter.

Abstract: Technology is for managing non-volatile memory such as NAND memory. A memory system that programs the threshold voltages (Vt) of transistors on NAND strings to enable selection of sub-blocks without physically separate select lines in a block. A first set of one or more transistors on a NAND string may be programmed to a higher Vt and a second set of one or more transistors on the NAND string may be programmed to a lower Vt. Each NAND string in a sub-block may have the same pattern of high Vt and low Vt transistors. However, each sub-block has its own pattern of high Vt and low Vt transistors to enable selection of the sub-blocks. To select NAND strings in a sub-block, a high voltage is applied to a first set of the conductive lines and a low voltage is applied to a second set of the conductive lines.

Abstract: A protection apparatus includes an interface, a protection switch, a direct current bus, and a controller. The apparatus is connected to at least two photovoltaic units via the interface, the at least two photovoltaic units are coupled to the direct current bus inside the apparatus to form at least two branches, and each branch is connected to at least one photovoltaic unit. The protection switch is configured to disconnect all or some of the photovoltaic units from the direct current bus, to enable a maximum of three photovoltaic units to be directly connected in parallel. According to the apparatus, a photovoltaic unit and a line are protected with a low power loss when a photovoltaic inverter is faulty.

Abstract: Different operations have different clock rate bottleneck points. For example, during a read operation, the processors may be the bottleneck whereas other operations will not be bottlenecks. Those other operations can have their clock rates reduced to save power since there is no benefit to a higher clock rate as the bottleneck is elsewhere. Predicting the bottleneck would be beneficial. Statistics correlating the bottleneck points with the workload and clock rates are tracked. When the workload changes, the statistics can be consulted to determine where the bottleneck is located and then slow down the clock rates for the non-bottleneck operations. A clock rate table is maintained in the device controller. The table holds the clock rate of each component. Predicting the workload and hence, the clock rates, reduces power consumption, improves performance, and better quality of service (QOS) compatibility characteristics.

Abstract: In addition to transmitting over the ASIC-NAND bus the legacy long command format, a data storage device will be able to use also a compressed/improved command format. The alternate command's format is hidden from most parts of the NAND. The NAND can have a layer that will translate compressed/non standard commands to the legacy (standard) format for use by the rest of the NAND device's logic, as currently implemented. According to selected command format, the Low Level Flow Sequencer (LLFS) sequence generator and the flash interface module (FIM) will know which format to use in order to encode the command's content for transmission to the NAND by the FIM/ASIC/controller. The command is then executed on the NAND side according to the selected command scheme. Changes will be applied in the device controller on the ASIC side—to encode the command, and on the NAND side—to decode the command according to the selected format.

Abstract: Technology is disclosed for reading memory cells having threshold switching selectors. A sense amplifier may have a set of capacitors that may be used to exchange charge with a sense node connected to the selected word line. A capacitor may be used to pull excess charge from the sense node or to provide charge to the sense node. A control circuit drives a current to the selected word line to charge up the selected word line to switch on the threshold switching selector of the selected memory cell. A capacitor may be connected to the selected word line when, or soon after, the threshold switching selector switches on. The capacitor may draw away excess charge to prevent a snapback current from flowing through the memory cell thereby preventing mis-reads. The capacitor may reduce read latency by speeding the rate of voltage change on a word line.

Abstract: According to the selected command format mode, the same opcode of existing commands will now be able to be sent using a new command format that will compress the large command and achieve the same functionality as the original large command. Examples of such include address compression, repeated fields, unnecessary known fields, etc. Instead of a long address being sent across the ASIC-NAND bus, the address sent over the bus will be represented using less bits with lower granularity. The controller will not send known repeated elements e.g. of the long address in the new format utilizing the compressed command such that the address can be transmitted only once instead of several times per each command. The new format will not include parts of the commands that are defined by the standard when it is possible to eliminate their transmission. The new command format will have two or more supported versions some of the commands, allowing introduction of new flexibility and improved performance of the device.
