Publication number: 20240152193Abstract: The invention provides a power supply including at least one power output port, at least one status alert component, and at least one output port status monitoring module. The status alert component generates at least one visual prompt based on an alert signal. The output port status monitoring module includes at least one temperature sensor adjacent to the power output port, a microcontroller connected to the temperature sensor and sensing an output current from the power output port, and a reset signal generator connected to the microcontroller. The microcontroller comprises at least one port status alert condition that takes a temperature and the output current of the power output port as decision factors. The microcontroller outputs the alert signal to the status alert component when the port status alert condition is met and maintains the status until a reset signal provided by the reset signal generator is received.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2022Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: Wei-Chen WU, Wen-Hau HU, Hung-Wei YANG, Cheng-Yung LO, Yu-Hao SU, Jian-Zhi HUANG

Patent number: 9281031Abstract: A memory assist apparatus includes a detection circuit and a compensation circuit. The detection circuit is configured to provide a detection signal indicating whether a bit line configured to provide read access to a data bit stored at a memory bit cell has a voltage below a predetermined threshold. The compensation circuit is configured to pull down the voltage of the bit line if the detection signal indicates that the voltage of the bit line is below the predetermined threshold.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2015Date of Patent: March 8, 2016Assignee: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventors: Jonathan Tsung-Yung Chang, Cheng Hung Lee, Chung-Cheng Chou, Hung-Jen Liao, Bin-Hau Lo

Patent number: 9275721Abstract: Apparatus and methods for providing a high density memory array with reduced read access time are disclosed. Multiple split bit lines are arranged along columns of adjacent memory bit cells. A multiple input sense amplifier is coupled to the multiple split bit lines. The loading on the multiple split bit line is reduced, and the corresponding read speed of the memory array is enhanced over the prior art. The sense amplifier and the memory bit cells have a common cell pitch layout height so that no silicon area penalty arises due to the use of the multiple split bit lines and sense amplifiers. Increased memory array efficiency is achieved.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2010Date of Patent: March 1, 2016Assignee: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd.Inventors: Yi-Tzu Chen, Bin-Hau Lo, Tsai-Hsin Lai, Pey-Huey Chen, Hau-Tai Shieh
