  • Patent number: 11765987
    Abstract: A phase change memory device based on a nano current channel is provided. A nano current channel layer structure is adopted and configured to limit the current channel. As such, when flowing through the layer, the current enters the phase change layer from nano crystal grains with high electrical conductivity, and the current is thereby confined in the nano current channels. By using the nano-scale conductive channels, the contact area between the phase change layer and the electrode layer is significantly decreased, the current density at local contact channel is significantly increased, and heat generation efficiency of the current in the phase change layer is improved. Moreover, an electrically insulating and heat-insulating material with low electrical conductivity and low thermal conductivity prevents heat in the phase change layer from being dissipated to the electrode layer, and Joule heat utilization efficiency of the phase change layer is thereby improved.

  • Patent number: 11757613
    Abstract: A PAM-4 receiver with jitter compensation clock and data recovery is provided. The receiver includes a first-order delay-locked loop (DLL) which employs a bang-bang phase detector (BBPD) and a voltage-controlled delay line (VCDL) circuit supporting 40 MHz jitter tracking bandwidth and static phase skew elimination. A second-order wideband phase-locked loop (WBPLL) using the ¼-rate reference clock provides multi-phase clock generation with low input-to-output latency. To suppress the consequent jitter transfer, a jitter compensation circuit (JCC) acquires the jitter transfer amplitude and frequency information by detecting the DLL loop filter voltage (VLF(s)) signal, and generates an inverted loop filter voltage signal, denoted as VLFINV(s). The VLFINV(s) modulates a group of complementary VCDLs (C-VCDLs) to attenuate the jitter transfer on both recovered clock and data. With the provided receiver, a jitter compensation ratio up to 60% can be supported from DC to 4 MHz, with a ?3-dB corner frequency of 40 MHz.
