  • Read state retention circuit and method
    Patent number: 7913907
    Abstract: A read state retention circuit and method are disclosed. The read state retention circuit comprises a charge storage unit, charging unit, sensing circuit and state indicator. The charging circuit is coupled to the charge storage unit for charging the charge storage unit. The sensing circuit is coupled to the charge storage unit for sensing a voltage level of the charge storage unit. The state indicator is coupled to the sensing circuit for outputting an indication signal in response to the voltage level.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 15, 2007
    Date of Patent: March 29, 2011
    Assignee: Mstar Semiconductor, Inc.
    Inventors: Sterling Smith, Chung-Ho Ning
  • Methods for operating a nonvolatile memory and related circuit
    Patent number: 7710783
    Abstract: A method for operating a nonvolatile memory and related circuit are applied to a nonvolatile memory of an RFID tag. The operating method is for repeatedly performing a program procedure on the nonvolatile memory at least twice, and then performing an verification procedure on the nonvolatile memory.
