Publication number: 20200303003Abstract: A multiply-accumulate operation apparatus is capable of sufficiently restraining a sneak current when employing a precharge method where the magnitude of an electric current flowing through an output line is detected. In a synapse operation section, memory cells storing respective synaptic connection weights are arranged in rows and columns. Output lines are connected to memory cells in the corresponding column, and input lines are connected to memory cells in the corresponding row. Each output line is precharged, and then its electric potential is decreased during the corresponding memory cells flow cell currents corresponding to their synaptic connection weights. A memory element of each memory cell includes a memory transistor, a drain side transistor, and a source side transistor connected in series, and is connected between the corresponding input and output line. The memory transistor stores a synaptic connection weight according to the amount of charge in a charge storage layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2019Publication date: September 24, 2020Inventors: Kazumasa YANAGISAWA, Tomoichi HAYASHI, Satoshi NODA, Yasuhiro TANIGUCHI, Kosuke OKUYAMA

Patent number: 10074660Abstract: In a semiconductor memory device, voltage application from a memory gate electrode of the memory capacitor to a word line can be blocked by a rectifier element depending on values of voltages applied to the memory gate electrode and the word line without using a conventional control circuit. The configuration eliminates the need to provide a switch transistor and a switch control circuit for turning on and off the switch transistor as in conventional cases, and accordingly achieves downsizing. In the semiconductor memory device, for example, each bit line contact is shared by four anti-fuse memories adjacent to each other and each word line contact is shared by four anti-fuse memories adjacent to each other, thereby achieving downsizing of the entire device as compared to a case in which the bit line contact and the word line contact are individually provided to each anti-fuse memory.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2016Date of Patent: September 11, 2018Assignee: FLOADIA CORPORATIONInventors: Hideo Kasai, Yasuhiro Taniguchi, Yasuhiko Kawashima, Ryotaro Sakurai, Yutaka Shinagawa, Tatsuro Toya, Takanori Yamaguchi, Fukuo Owada, Shinji Yoshida, Teruo Hatada, Satoshi Noda, Takafumi Kato, Tetsuya Muraya, Kosuke Okuyama

Patent number: 8724313Abstract: An electric power conversion apparatus is provided which includes electronic components, a cooler, an internal unit, a capacitor, and a case. The internal unit has a frame to which at least one of the electronic components and the cooler are secured and which surrounds all around the one of the electronic components. The frame includes unit fixing sections through which the internal unit is fixed to the case and capacitor fixing sections through which the capacitor is fixed to the internal unit. The capacitor fixing sections are located inward of the frame more than the unit fixing sections. The internal unit is fixed to the case and thus works as a beam to increase the mechanical rigidity of the case. The fixing of the internal unit to the case minimizes external force to be exerted through the case on the electronic component and the cooler.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2011Date of Patent: May 13, 2014Assignee: Denso CorporationInventors: Akira Nakasaka, Satoshi Noda, Kenichi Oohama

Patent number: 7909319Abstract: To provide an image forming apparatus and image forming method that can prevent a decrease in image quality by preventing a step-out of a driving source, which occurs because a load of a feeding device is applied when a medium is transported for image formation. When no roller reset operation, by which a paper feed roller is returned to a reset position, is performed (YES in S21), it is judged whether a counted value N of a counter, which indicates a position of a sheet of paper, is below a threshold value Na, which indicates that it is in an A region in which a load of a hopper or paper return levers of an automatic sheet feeder (ASF) is applied to a stepping motor (S22). When N<Na, driving for high torque is selected (S23), and then paper transport in the A region is performed with a high torque (S25). On the other hand, when N?Na, driving for low torque is selected (S24) and then paper transport in a B region after the A region has passed is performed with a low torque (S25).Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2007Date of Patent: March 22, 2011Assignee: Seiko Epson CorporationInventors: Yasutaka Shibagaki, Satoshi Noda

Patent number: 7808828Abstract: An electrically programmable and erasable non-volatile semiconductor memory such as a flash memory is designed into a configuration in which, when a cutoff of the power supply occurs in the course of a write or erase operation carried out on a memory cell employed in the non-volatile semiconductor memory, the operation currently being executed is discontinued and a write-back operation is carried out to change a threshold voltage of the memory cell in the reversed direction. In addition, the configuration also allows the number of charge-pump stages in an internal power-supply configuration to be changed in accordance with the level of a power-supply voltage so as to make the write-back operation correctly executable. As a result, no memory cells are put in deplete state even in the event of a power-supply cutoff in the course of a write or erase operation.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2009Date of Patent: October 5, 2010Assignees: Renesas Electronics Corporation, Hitachi ULSI Systems Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ryotaro Sakurai, Hitoshi Tanaka, Satoshi Noda, Koji Shigematsu
