  • Patent number: 7394282
    Abstract: A system may include detection of a low signal received from a transmission line, and uncoupling of a termination circuit from the transmission line in response to the detected low signal. In some aspects, a transition of a strobe signal is then detected, and the termination circuit is coupled to the transmission line in response to the detected transition.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 28, 2006
    Date of Patent: July 1, 2008
    Assignee: Intel Corporation
    Inventors: Manoj K. Sinha, Amrish Kontu, Binta M. Patel, Gian Gerosa

  • Patent number: 7292491
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for controlling refresh operations of a dynamic memory device. The temperature of the dynamic memory device is detected. The detected temperature is then used to adjust a refresh rate of the dynamic memory device to compensate for increased leakage at higher temperatures and more closely tailor the timing of the refresh operations to the conditions of the dynamic memory device.

  • Patent number: 7180211
    Abstract: A temperature sensor is comprised of a device adapted to provide a first signal having a parameter responsive to temperature. A generator provides a reference signal having a parameter that is substantially consistent over a preselected temperature range. A comparator is electrically coupled to the device and the generator and is adapted to provide a second signal in response to the parameter of the first signal differing from the parameter of the reference signal. A digital filter is coupled to the comparator and is adapted to provide a third signal in response to receiving the second signal for a preselected duration of time.

  • Patent number: 6847569
    Abstract: A high-performance, low energy amplifier circuit for the detection and amplification of a voltage differential includes a current conveyor and a sense amplifier. The current conveyor includes a pair of cross-linked transistors and a pair of pass transistors. The sense amplifier includes four transistors forming a cross-linked current sense amplifier. The current sense amplifier detects a current differential between complementary bit lines, develops a differential voltage based on the current differential, amplifies the differential voltage and outputs the amplified differential voltage.
