Patent number: 8095853Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for operating digital memory including determining, by a controller, a bit to be written to the digital memory and writing, by the controller, the bit. The bit may be part of a data word comprising a plurality of bits and both the determining and the writing may be performed at a granularity level finer than a data word. In embodiments, the bit to be written may be determined by error correction.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2007Date of Patent: January 10, 2012Assignee: S. Aqua Semiconductor LLCInventor: G. R. Mohan Rao

Patent number: 8050080Abstract: Random access memory with CMOS-compatible nonvolatile storage element in series with storage capacitor is described herein. Embodiments may include memory devices and systems that have plurality of row lines, column lines, and memory cells each of which comprising an access transistor, a storage capacitor and a CMOS-compatible non-volatile storage element connected in series. The CMOS-compatible non-volatile storage element may store charges corresponding to a binary value. The node located between the CMOS-compatible non-volatile storage element and the storage capacitor may be defined as a storage node. During read operation, a cell may be selected, and the voltage at the storage node of the cell may be sensed at the corresponding column line, and the binary value may be determined based on at least the sensed voltage.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2008Date of Patent: November 1, 2011Assignee: S. Aqua Semiconductor LLCInventor: G. R. Mohan Rao

Publication number: 20090310396Abstract: Methods and apparatus for controlling an input/output (I/O) driver of an I/O terminal based at least in part on the values being provided to the I/O terminal is disclosed. In various embodiments, a detector is employed. The detector shuts off power to the I/O driver if the digital value being presented is the same as a previously presented digital value.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2009Publication date: December 17, 2009Applicant: S. Aqua Semiconductor LLCInventor: G.R. Mohan Rao

Patent number: 7254690Abstract: The invention describes and provides pipelining of addresses to memory products. Addresses are pipelined to multibank memories on both rising and falling edges of a clock. Global Address Supervisor pipelines these addresses optimally without causing bank or block or subarray operational conflicts. Enhanced data through put and bandwidth, as well as substantially improved bus utilization (simultaneously), can be realized. In peer-to-peer connected systems, significant random data access throughput can be obtained.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2004Date of Patent: August 7, 2007Assignee: S.
