  • Patent number: 10607662
    Abstract: A Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) array power supply circuit is presented. The circuit comprises an SRAM test unit having a substantially same structure as a basic SRAM unit in the SRAM array; a switch device connected to a power source, the SRAM test unit, and the SRAM array; and a switch control circuit connected to the SRAM test unit and the switch device. When a test voltage in the SRAM test unit is lower than a threshold voltage, the switch device is closed so that the power source begins to charge the SRAM array and the SRAM test unit. The SRAM test unit provides an early warning for the SRAM array, allowing the latter to be charged upon fulfillment of a condition (e.g., charge is low). Compared to conventional circuits, this circuit provides an output voltage that is more stable and less susceptible to the changes in external conditions such as temperature or pressure.

  • Patent number: 10522196
    Abstract: A method operates a bandgap voltage reference circuit that includes a bias circuit for receiving a feedback signal and outputting a bias signal, an amplifier for receiving the bias signal and outputting a first reference signal as the feedback signal, an output circuit for receiving the first reference signal and outputting a second reference signal, and an output switch for outputting the second reference signal as an output signal. The method includes, after powering up the bandgap voltage reference circuit, determining whether the output signal is stable, when the output signal is stable, turning off the output switch; turning off the bias circuit; and turning off the output circuit. The sequential turning off the output switch, the output circuit, and the bias circuit puts the bandgap voltage reference circuit into a sleep mode to save power.
