Patent number: 11715502Abstract: Charge pumps of integrated circuit devices might include an input configured to receive an internally-generated first voltage level, an output, and a plurality of stages between its input and output. A particular stage might include a voltage isolation device, a voltage driver, and a capacitance having a first electrode connected to an output of the voltage driver and a second electrode connected to the voltage isolation device. The voltage driver might be responsive to a clock signal and to a voltage level of the output of the voltage driver to selectively connect the output of the voltage driver to either a first voltage node configured to receive the first voltage level, a second voltage node configured to receive a second voltage level lower than the first voltage level, or a third voltage node configured to receive a third voltage level lower than the second voltage level.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2020Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventors: Agostino Macerola, Marco-Domenico Tiburzi, Stefano Perugini

Patent number: 8610490Abstract: Voltage switches, memory devices, memory systems, and methods for switching are disclosed. One such voltage switch uses a pair of switch circuits coupled in series, each switch circuit being driven by a level shift circuit. Each switch circuit uses a group of series coupled transistors with a parallel control transistor where the number of transistors in each group may be determined by an expected switch input voltage and a maximum allowable voltage drop for each transistor. A voltage of a particular state of an enable signal is shifted up to the switch input voltage by the level shift circuits. The particular state of the enable signal turns on the voltage switch such that the switch output voltage is substantially equal to the switch input voltage.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2013Date of Patent: December 17, 2013Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventors: Giulio G.
