Abstract: Disclosed is a device including a distributed controller and a common controller. The distributed controller includes a first circuit to generate an output voltage according to a control signal. The common controller includes a common feedback loop coupled to the distributed controller. The common feedback loop includes an amplifier circuit to generate the control signal, and a second circuit coupled to the amplifier circuit. The second circuit replicates the first circuit and stabilizes the control signal.

Abstract: Disclosed is a device including a selected distributed driver, a first feedback control circuit, and a second feedback control circuit. The first feedback control circuit is coupled to the selected distributed driver. The first feedback control circuit is configured to maintain an output of the selected distributed driver within a first predetermined range. The second feedback control circuit is selectively coupled to the selected distributed driver and is configured to maintain the output of the selected distributed driver to be within a second predetermined range. The second predetermined range is within the first predetermined range.

Abstract: A memory system includes a leakage current detection circuit to detect for leakage current flowing in a bias line, such as due to a short or a breakdown of dielectric. A leakage sense circuit senses the leakage current, and generates a common mode voltage in response to the sensing. A tracking circuit tracks the common mode voltage, and a leakage current measurement circuit measures the leakage current based on the common mode voltage tracking. The leakage current detection circuit may be an on-the-fly leakage current detection circuit that detects leakage current as part of another operation, such as a memory operation.
