Patents by Inventor Roni Varkony

Roni Varkony 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: 10147734
    Abstract: A memory array including a first memory cell including a first memory gate coupled to receive a first signal. The memory array including a second memory cell including a first memory gate coupled to receive a second signal. The magnitude of the second signal is different than the magnitude of the first signal. The memory array including a third memory cell including a first memory gate coupled to receive a third signal. The magnitude of the third signal is different than the magnitude of the first signal and the magnitude of the second signal. The first signal, the second signal and the third signal are received concurrently.

  • Patent number: 9479171
    Abstract: Disclosed is an integrated circuit voltage level shifter including: a first set of pull-up transistors to selectively pull an output voltage towards a high voltage source level based on an input; a second set of pull-down transistors adapted to selectively pull the output voltage towards a lower voltage source level based on the input and a third set of transistors to limit current flow through the second set of pull-down transistors and to mitigate snapback of the second set of pull-down transistors using a bias gate voltage.

  • Patent number: 8120960
    Abstract: A non-volatile memory (NVM) having an array of memory cells and a unidirectional multiplexer (UMUX), the UMUX may be comprised of two or more address line ports adapted to receive addressing signals corresponding with elements in the memory array, and a set of switching transistors adapted to switch a supply voltage in accordance with the addressing signal such that current only flows into the array.

  • Patent number: 6967896
    Abstract: A method for operating a memory cell array, the method comprising assigning word lines of a memory cell array as addresses for writing sets of data thereto from a cache memory, and scrambling addresses of the sets of data by writing a first chunk of the particular set of data from the cache memory to a first word line of the array, and writing a second chunk of the particular set of data from the cache memory to a second word line of the array, the first chunk comprising a first subset of the particular set of data and the second chunk comprising a second subset of the particular set of data.
