  • Publication number: 20120188828
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20080040181
    Abstract: 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. The first modified workflow process is compared with the evolutionary workflow process to identify a first identifier associated with an action included in the first modified workflow process and not included in the 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.

    Abstract: A method of and a system for presenting a plurality of workflows that describe an evolutionary workflow process associated with creating a result are provided. A first workflow is received at a first device. The first workflow comprises a first module which applies a first instruction to form a first result. A modification of the first workflow is received at the first device. The received modification includes a second workflow which includes a second module that applies a second instruction to form a second result. The evolutionary workflow process is presented to a user at a second device. The evolutionary workflow process includes the first workflow and the second workflow and indicates a parent-child relationship between the first workflow and the second workflow.

  • Patent number: 7203124
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20050270058
    Abstract: 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.
