  • Patent number: 7495989
    Abstract: A memory card includes a non-volatile memory; and a power management unit for receiving an external supply voltage to supply an operating voltage to the non-volatile memory. The power management unit boosts/bypasses the external supply voltage based on whether the external supply voltage is lower than a detection voltage and then outputs the boosted/bypassed voltage as the operating voltage of the non-volatile memory.

  • Publication number: 20020008259
    Abstract: A semiconductor device is provided having an open drain input/output terminal. The device is formed on a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type, having active regions defined by a field oxide layer. A gate insulating layer is formed over the active regions such that it is thicker in an open drain I/O formation area than in a logic formation area. A gate electrode is formed over a predetermined portion of the gate insulating layer, and a second conductivity type junction region for a source/drain is formed in the substrate on both sides of the gate electrode. A field insulating doping layer is formed under the field oxide layer such that it overlaps the junction region in the logic formation part, and is spaced apart from the junction region in the open drain I/O formation part. A second conductivity type impurity region is formed as a channel region under the gate electrode of an enhancement transistor formation part in the open drain I/O formation area.
