Publication number: 20120188828Abstract: Embodiments of a data capture system and method may be used in a variety of devices, such as in memory controllers and memory devices. The data capture system and method may generate a first set of periodic signals and a second set of periodic signals that differs from the first set. Either the first set of periodic signals or the second set of periodic signals may be selected and used to generate a set of data capture signals. The selection of either the first set or the second set may be made on the basis of the number of serial data digits in a previously captured burst of data. The data capture signals may then be used to capture a burst of serial data digits.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 3, 2012Publication date: July 26, 2012Applicant: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventor: Huy Vo

Publication number: 20080040181Abstract: A method of and a device for supporting a collaborative workflow process that includes a plurality of workflows are provided. A first modified workflow process is received from a first device at a second device. The first modified workflow process is created by modifying an evolutionary workflow process.

If the identified first identifier is included in the evolutionary workflow process is determined. If the identified first identifier is included in the evolutionary workflow process, a second identifier is defined. The defined second identifier is associated with the action. The second action is added with the associated second identifier to the evolutionary workflow process stored in a first memory accessible using the second device.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 9, 2007Publication date: February 14, 2008Inventors: Juliana Freire, Claudio Silva, Steven Callahan, Emanuele Santos, Carlos Scheidegger, Huy Vo

Patent number: 7203124Abstract: A negative word line driver employs devices to maintain the potential difference between the active word line signal and the inactive word line signal while reducing the need for a significant negative voltage supply. One form of the negative word line driver employs an isolation element to couple the word line to ground when the inputs to the word line driver indicate the word line should not be active, while the word line is also coupled to the negative voltage supply. Another form of the form of the negative word line driver receives as inputs the voltages to be driven on the word line and can be implemented with fewer transistors but still allows the word line to be driven at a negative voltage with a reduced negative voltage supply.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2004Date of Patent: April 10, 2007Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventors: Tae Hyoung Kim, Huy Vo, Greg Blodgett

Publication number: 20050270058Abstract: A voltage generating circuit for generating internal voltage for a packaged integrated circuit memory device, is controllable to provide incremental adjustments in the voltage for testing of the memory device. The voltage generating circuit permits internally generated voltages of the memory device, such as the substrate voltage Vbb, the DVC2 voltage, and the pumped voltage Vccp, to be controlled externally through the application of test signals via the conventional test function, in performing standard device tests such as the static refresh test, logic 1s and 0s margin testing, and the like for packaged memory devices. Also, programmable circuits including programmable logic devices, such as anti-fuses, are provided that are programmable to maintain the voltage at a magnitude to which it is adjusted.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 9, 2005Publication date: December 8, 2005Inventors: Joseph Sher, David Siek, Huy Vo, Nicholas Van Heel, Victor Wong, Hua Zheng
