John Fredric Schreck has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11749342
    Abstract: An architecture of the memory device may leverage a transmission path resistance compensation scheme for memory cells to reduce the effect of parasitic loads in accessing a memory cell. A memory cell of such a memory device may experience a total resistance including a transmission path resistance associated with the respective access lines of the memory cell and an added compensatory resistance. The foregoing memory device may leverage a spike mitigation scheme to mitigate the harmful effect of a voltage and/or rush current to the near memory cells of the memory device. In addition, spike mitigation circuitry may include coupling a resistor on access lines near the respective decoders. Further, spike mitigation circuitry may include coupling a resistor between the decoders.
    Type: Grant
