  • Patent number: 12114422
    Abstract: A gate drive topology and gate drive power supply topology designed to allow for a single Printed Wiring Board (PWB) design to be configured for two applications. In one application, select paired locations of solder pads or connector locations in the circuitry are populated with connecting “spanning” resistors for integration within the gate driver and gate driver power supply topologies. The physical manifestation of these resistors on the PWB allows paralleled gate drive switching of corresponding power transistor devices for driving a load. A common gate-source voltage is applied to all three gates and the switching devices share dynamic switching and conduction loss. In an alternate application, the select paired locations are not populated with spanning resistors thereby rendering a circuit topology permitting independent operation independent power transistor gate driving switching operations.

  • Patent number: 12106812
    Abstract: Implementations described herein relate to detecting a memory write reliability risk without using a write verify operation. In some implementations, a memory device may perform a program operation that includes a single program pulse and that does not include a program verify operation immediately after the single program pulse. The memory device may set a flag value based on comparing a transition time and a transition time threshold. The transition time may be a time to transition from a first voltage to a second voltage during the program operation. The memory device may selectively perform a mitigation operation based on whether the flag value is set to a first value or a second value.
