Publication number: 20070286002Abstract: In a multi-bank memory system such as a synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM), a method of writing data to the banks is provided. This method allows for writing to any number of banks. More particularly, this method allows for writing to a selected number of banks between one and all banks. In addition, the method retains the discrete nature of the selected banks by allowing any row in each bank to be accessed regardless of the rows activated in other banks. As a result, rows of different memory banks that are intended to store similar data may be accessed simultaneously for purposes of writing the data in test and non-test modes. This allows for quicker writing to the SDRAM without the errors that may be created by other fast writing modes, such as data compression.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 20, 2007Publication date: December 13, 2007Applicant: MICRON TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Timothy Cowles, Jeffrey Wright

Publication number: 20070263459Abstract: An output driver calibration circuit determines calibration values for configuring adjustable impedance output drivers. Output drivers are calibrated by generating a first variable count in response to comparing a reference voltage to a first voltage at a calibration terminal when an external load is connected. A first pull-up impedance circuit is varied in response to a first variable count and varying an impedance in a second variable pull-up impedance circuit in response to the first variable count. A second variable count is generated responsive to comparing the reference voltage to a second voltage at a reference node between the second variable pull-up impedance circuit and a serially connected to a variable pull-down impedance circuit. The impedance to the variable pull-down impedance circuit is varied in response to the second variable count. The first and second variable counts for configuring the output drivers are output when a steady state is achieved.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 10, 2006Publication date: November 15, 2007Inventors: Kang Kim, Jeffrey Wright

Publication number: 20070028027Abstract: A synchronous dynamic random access memory (“SDRAM”) device includes several banks of memory cell coupled to a read data path and a write data path. The read data path includes a read latch that stores a relatively large number of read data bits received in parallel from a bank of memory cells. Groups of the stored read data bits are sequentially selected by a multiplexer and applied to a read data bus. Groups of write data bits are sequentially coupled to the SDRAM device through a write data bus that is separate from the read data bus, and they are sequentially stored in input registers. When the input registers are full, the write data bits are coupled in parallel to a bank of memory cells. The number of bits in the write data bus is preferably a submultiple of the number of bits in the read data bus.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2005Publication date: February 1, 2007Inventors: Jeff Janzen, Jeffrey Wright, James Cullum
