  • Publication number: 20240379170
    Abstract: Technology is disclosed herein for a storage system and method for multi-stage discharge of a read pass voltage. In an aspect, the voltage on unselected word lines is reduced from the read pass voltage to an intermediate voltage during a first stage near the end of a read operation. A read reference voltage on the selected word line may be changed (e.g., increased) to the intermediate voltage during the first stage. During a second stage the voltage on the unselected word lines may be reduced from the intermediate voltage to a final voltage. The voltage on the selected word line may also be decreased during the second stage from the intermediate voltage to the final voltage. The multi-stage discharge of the read pass voltage may reduce peak current consumption (e.g., peak Icc) in a final portion of the read operation.

  • Patent number: 12126265
    Abstract: A switch mode power supply circuit with high voltage output, an electrostatic spray apparatus and agricultural plant protection apparatus using the same are provided. The switch mode power supply circuit is electrically connected in series with at least a pre-stage power converter and a post-stage power converter. In order to simplify the control, the switch of the pre-stage power converter is omitted, only one switch of the post-stage power converter is adopted to perform synchronous control. Since the multiple sets of power conversion circuits in the previous stage are connected in series, the turn ratio of the transformer in the power converter in the subsequent stage can be reduced. Therefore, the transformer can be miniaturized and the power supply circuit would be more suitable for agricultural plant protection machine and electrostatic spray apparatus.
