  • Patent number: 11200940
    Abstract: According to one implementation of the present disclosure, a memory array to block read-access of uninitialized memory locations is disclosed. The memory array includes: a plurality of memory cells apportioned into a plurality of memory columns and a plurality of memory rows, where each of the memory cells is configured to store a single bit of memory data; and one or more initialization columns corresponding to at least one of the plurality of memory columns. The initialization state of a memory row of the memory cells may be configured to be stored in: the memory row; a latch of word-line driver circuitry coupled to the memory array; or a memory cell of the one or more initialization columns of a corresponding row of the plurality of memory rows of the memory array.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10896707
    Abstract: Briefly, embodiments of claimed subject matter relate to adjusting, such as extending, a clock signal to permit completion of a write operations to a first memory type and/or to permit completion of read operations from a second memory type, wherein the first memory type and the second memory type are dissimilar from each other. In certain embodiments, the first memory type may comprise a magnetic random-access memory (MRAM) cell array, and the second memory type may comprise a static random-access memory (SRAM) cell array.

  • Patent number: 10886847
    Abstract: Various implementations described herein are directed to a device having a voltage regulator that uses a modulator to adjust an output voltage. The device may include a time-to-digital converter that measures a timing delay of a logic chain, compares the timing delay to a reference delay to determine a timing delay error, and provides the timing delay error to the modulator for adjusting the output voltage.
