  • Patent number: 10529420
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems and devices for operation of non-volatile memory devices. In one aspect, a non-volatile memory device may be placed in any one of multiple memory states in a write operation by controlling a current and a voltage applied to terminals of the non-volatile memory device. For example, a write operation may apply a programming signal across terminals of non-volatile memory device having a particular current and a particular voltage for placing the non-volatile memory device in a particular memory state.

  • Publication number: 20190236315
    Abstract: An apparatus for masking power consumption associated with one or more operations of a logic circuitry of a processor. The apparatus comprises power-complementing circuitry configured to provide a second power consumption to directly power-complementing the power consumption associated with the one or more operations of the logic circuitry. The second power consumption complements the power consumption associated with the one or more operations of the logic circuitry. The apparatus further comprises header circuitry configured to enable a common node to vary in voltage corresponding to the one or more operations of the logic circuitry. The power-complementing circuitry and the header circuitry are each coupled to the logic circuitry at the common node.

  • Patent number: 10255462
    Abstract: An apparatus for obfuscating power consumption associated with one or more operations of a logic circuitry of a processor. The apparatus comprises counterbalance circuitry configured to provide a second power consumption to directly counterbalance the power consumption associated with the one or more operations of the logic circuitry. The second power consumption varies inversely with the power consumption associated with the one or more operations of the logic circuitry. The apparatus further comprises header circuitry configured to enable a common node to vary in voltage corresponding to the one or more operations of the logic circuitry. The counterbalance circuitry and the header circuitry are each coupled to the logic circuitry at the common node.

  • Patent number: 10049709
    Abstract: Various implementations described herein may refer to and may be directed to using port modes with memory. In one implementation, a memory device may include access control circuitry used to selectively activate one of a plurality of first word-lines based on first address signals from a first access port, and used to selectively activate one of a plurality of second word-lines based on assigned address signals. The access control circuitry may include address selection circuitry configured to select the assigned address signals based on a port mode signal, where the address selection circuitry selects the first address signals as the assigned address signals when the port mode signal indicates a single port mode, and where the address selection circuitry selects second address signals from a second access port as the assigned address signals when the port mode signal indicates a dual port mode.

  • Patent number: 10043559
    Abstract: Broadly speaking, embodiments of the present techniques provide an amplification circuit comprising a sense amplifier and at least one Correlated Electron Switch (CES) configured to provide a signal to the sense amplifier. The sense amplifier outputs an amplified version of the input signal depending on the signal provided by the CES element. The signal provided by the CES element depends on the state of the CES material. The CES element provides a stable impedance to the sense amplifier, which may improve the reliability of reading data from the bit line, and reduce the number of errors introduced during the reading.
