  • Publication number: 20200365196
    Abstract: In a particular implementation, an apparatus including first and second bias circuits and an inner amplifier provides sense amplifier offset cancellation. The inner amplifier includes: first and second current generators configured to replicate respective first and second currents from the first and second bias circuits, first and second transistors configured to transform the first and second currents into voltage samples, and first and second capacitors configured to store the voltage samples. In a sampling phase, a sampling of the first and second currents may be performed in the inner amplifier, and further, in an amplification phase, an amplification of the stored voltage samples may also be performed in the inner amplifier.

  • Publication number: 20200194093
    Abstract: Various implementations described herein refer to a device having an encoder coupled to memory. The ECC encoder receives input data from memory built-in self-test circuitry, generates encoded data by encoding the input data and by adding check bits to the input data, and writes the encoded data to memory. The device may have an ECC decoder coupled to memory. The ECC decoder reads the encoded data from memory, generates corrected data by decoding the encoded data and by extracting the check bits from the encoded data, and provides the corrected data and double-bit error flag as output. The ECC decoder has error correction logic that performs error correction on the decoded data based on the check bits, wherein if the error correction logic detects a multi-bit error in the decoded data, the error correction logic corrects the multi-bit error in the decoded data to provide the corrected data.
