Patents by Inventor Kota AMA

Kota AMA 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: 11921577
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a semiconductor storage element which is provided with an error detection and correction circuit and, when an uncorrectable error occurs in the semiconductor storage element, capable of promptly transferring the occurrence to the outside, and provides a semiconductor storage device and a system-on-chip using the same. The semiconductor storage element includes a storage part storing data, an error detection and correction part detecting an error in the data stored in the storage part and correcting the error if possible, a monitoring part issuing an uncorrectable error signal when an uncorrectable error occurs in the error detection and correction part, and a terminal transmitting the uncorrectable error signal to the outside.

  • Patent number: 11727978
    Abstract: A semiconductor device, includes: a first inverter that operates on a first supply voltage and includes a transistor with a first polarity and a transistor with a second polarity different from the first polarity; a first inverter array that is connected to a gate of the transistor with the first polarity, includes a predetermined plural number of inverters connected in series, and operates on the first supply voltage; and a second inverter array that is connected to a gate of the transistor with the second polarity and includes inverters of the predetermined plural number connected in series, wherein a first stage inverter in the second inverter array operates on a second supply voltage that is higher than the first supply voltage, and a subsequent stage inverter subsequent to the first stage inverter operates on the first supply voltage.
