  • Publication number: 20240071478
    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device comprises a first memory cell and a second memory cell. The semiconductor memory device is configured to be able to perform: a first operation which is a read operation or the like to the first memory cell; and a second operation which is a read operation or the like to the second memory cell. The semiconductor memory device transitions to a standby mode after performing the first operation in response to an input of a first command set and a second command set. The semiconductor memory device performs a charge share operation after the standby mode is released in response to an input of a third command set and a fourth command set during the standby mode. The semiconductor memory device performs the second operation using at least a part of an electric charge generated when the first operation is performed.

  • Publication number: 20230307018
    Abstract: A semiconductor storage device includes a memory string including memory transistors and a control circuit. The control circuit is configured to in response to a first command, perform a first read operation, and in response to a second command received during the first read operation, perform a second read operation. During the first read operation, a voltage of a first selected word line is decreased from a read pass voltage to a first read voltage and then increased to the read pass voltage. During the second read operation, a voltage of a second word line is set to a second read voltage and then increased to the read pass voltage. Voltages of word lines neither selected during the first nor second read operation are maintained between the first and second read operations.

  • Patent number: 10263501
    Abstract: A vibration generator including a coil, a plunger including a first shaft and a second shaft, and a frame. The first shaft is received in the coil such as to be movable in a first direction. The second shaft extends in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, is disposed on the other side in the first direction relative to the coil with a gap therebetween. The first and second shafts are partly made of a magnetic material so as to be magnetically attractable to the coil and thereby movable to one side in the first direction. The frame is fixed to the first and second shafts at positions on the one and other sides, respectively, in the first direction relative to the coil, and elastically deformable at least partly as a result of movement of the first and second shafts.
