  • Patent number: 7920413
    Abstract: Provided are an apparatus and method for writing data to a phase-change random access memory (PRAM) by using writing power calculation and data inversion functions, and more particularly, an apparatus and method for writing data which can minimize power consumption by calculating the power consumed while input original data or inverted data is written to a PRAM and storing the data consuming less power. A PRAM consumes a significant amount of power in order to store data in a memory cell since a large electric current is required to flow for a long period of time.

  • Patent number: 6615398
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a ROM division method for reducing the size of a ROM in a direct digital frequency synthesizer (DDFS), which is used to synthesize a frequency in a communication system requiring fast frequency conversion. A ROM consuming most energy in the system, a modified Nicholas architecture is brought forth to reduce the size of ROM. In this modified Nicholas architecture, a ROM is divided into coarse ROM and fine ROM to convert phase to sine value. The present invention divides the coarse ROM and the fine ROM into quantized ROM and error ROM respectively. Then, value stored in each ROM is segmented in certain intervals and the minimum quantized value in each of the section is stored in the quantized ROM, while the difference between the original ROM value and the quantized ROM value is stored in the error ROM. This way, the size of a ROM can be reduced. Phase value inputted in a DDFS, a sine value is calculated by adding the four ROM values, i.e.
