  • Publication number: 20240045601
    Abstract: In some implementations, a memory device may detect a read command associated with reading data stored by the memory device. The memory device may determine whether the read command is from a host device in communication with the memory device. The memory device may select, based on whether the read command is from the host device, one of a first voltage pattern or a second voltage pattern to be applied to memory cells of the memory device to execute the read command, wherein the first voltage pattern is selected if the read command is from the host device and the second voltage pattern is selected if the read command is not from the host device, wherein the second voltage pattern is different from the first voltage pattern. The memory device may execute the read command using a selected one of the first voltage pattern or the second voltage pattern.

  • Publication number: 20240030215
    Abstract: The ability of a grounded gate NMOS (ggNMOS) device to withstand and protect against human body model (HBM) electrostatic discharge (ESD) events is greatly increased by resistance balancing straps. The resistance balancing straps are areas of high resistance formed in the substrate between an active area that includes a MOSFET of the ggNMOS device and a bulk ring that surrounds the active area. A Vss rail is coupled to the substrate beneath the MOSFET through the bulk ring. The substrate beneath the MOSFET provides base regions for parasitic transistors that switch on for the ggNMOS device to operate. The straps inhibit low resistance pathways between the base regions and the bulk ring and prevent a large portion of the ggNMOS device from being switched off while a remaining portion of the ggNMOS device remains switched on. The strap may be divided into segments inserted at strategic locations.
