  • Publication number: 20100115385
    Abstract: An embodiment of the present disclosure relates to detection of data access element selection errors during data access in data storage arrays. An embodiment of the disclosure describes a system including a data storage array comprising a first and a second error identifier. The error identifiers generate an error signal in case multiple data access elements are selected or no data access element is selected, respectively. A system for detection of data-access-element-selection errors further comprises a common error-signal generator which provides an output when an error signal is generated by either of said error identifiers.

  • Publication number: 20070201270
    Abstract: A memory chip configuration aims that reduces the bitline leakage in standby as well as dynamic operation mode. The chip design comprises of—a n×m FET matrix, vertically running bitlines—each shared by a column in the array, horizontally running wordlines—each shared by a row in the array, horizontally running sourcelines—each shared by a row in the array. The sourceline signal for a row is generated by complementing the wordline signal for the same row. The memory cell read operations with the proposed configuration, substantially control the bitline leakage current thereby enhancing the memory speed by reducing the noise during read operations. Also the configuration is unconstrained by design parameters that include size and geometries of memory chips, cell densities, complexity of memory structures, fabrication technologies, etc.
