Abstract: The total silicon area used by a plurality of high voltage transistors in an array of NAND cells is reduced by modifying the silicon area layout such that the size of the source and drain of each of the plurality of high voltage transistors is dependent on the maximum voltage to be applied to each of the source and drain for the respective one of the plurality of high voltage transistors.

Abstract: A nonvolatile memory supports a standby state where the memory is ready to receive an access command to execute, and a deep power down state where the memory ignores all access commands. The memory can transition from the standby state to the deep power down state in response to a threshold amount of time in the standby state. Thus, the memory can enter the standby state after a command and then transition to the deep power down state after the threshold time.

Abstract: A method for waking up devices in batches where the method includes generating, by a coordinator, a wake-up broadcast frame, where the wake-up broadcast frame includes a wake-up indication field, which instructs multiple devices in a low-rate wireless personal area network (LR-WPAN) to keep in a running state, and sending, by the coordinator, the wake-up broadcast frame at a time interval T2 within duration T1. Hence, the coordinator can wake up some devices directionally using the wake-up indication field in the wake-up broadcast frame. Therefore, resource utilization and wake-up efficiency of the coordinator are improved such that channel utilization and performance of the LR-WPAN are improved.
