  • Patent number: 11980026
    Abstract: A random code generating method for the magnetoresistive random access memory is provided. Firstly, a first magnetoresistive random access memory cell and a second magnetoresistive random access memory cell are programmed into an anti-parallel state. Then, an initial value of a control current is set. Then, an enroll action is performed on the first and second magnetoresistive random access memory cells. If the first and second magnetoresistive random access memory cells fail to pass the verification action, the control current is increased by a current increment, and the step of setting the control current is performed again. If the first and second magnetoresistive random access memory cells pass the verification action, a one-bit random code is stored in the first magnetoresistive random access memory cell or the second magnetoresistive random access memory cell.

  • Publication number: 20240143322
    Abstract: A software developer proxy tool accesses microservice applications for a software development project by connecting the developer proxy tool to a common port on a computer network. The tool implements software and hardware to register a plurality of the microservice applications on connection ports that connect to the developer proxy tool at an address for the common port. Data requests among the microservices are handled by the developer proxy tool via the common port. The tool sequentially queries selected microservice applications on the respective connection ports to determine availability for completing a request. The tool receives responses back from microservices and directs the responses back to the requesting program. Failed requests trigger use of remote or third party microservice applications that may be available over an internet connection.

    Abstract: A programming method of a non-volatile memory cell is provided. The non-volatile memory cell includes a memory transistor. Firstly, a current limiter is provided, and the current limiter is connected between a drain terminal of the memory transistor and a ground terminal. Then, a program voltage is provided to a source terminal of the memory transistor, and a control signal is provided to a gate terminal of the memory transistor. In a first time period of a program action, the control signal is gradually decreased from a first voltage value, so that the memory transistor is firstly turned off and then slightly turned on. When the memory transistor is turned on, plural hot electrons are injected into a charge trapping layer of the memory transistor.

  • Publication number: 20240056080
    Abstract: A level shifter includes a cross-coupled transistor pair, first through third cascode transistor pairs and a differential input pair sequentially coupled in series, and further includes a sub level shifter. The first cascode transistor pair is controlled by a first reference voltage. The second cascode transistor pair is controlled by a pair of differential control voltages. The third cascode transistor pair is controlled by a second reference voltage lower than the first reference voltage. The differential input pair is controlled by a pair of differential input voltages. The sub level shifter generates the differential control voltages according to the differential input voltages and the first and second reference voltages. The differential control voltages are switched between the first and second reference voltages. The level shifter outputs a pair of differential output voltages through inverted and non-inverted output terminals coupled with the second cascode transistor pair.
