Publication number: 20130063093Abstract: In one embodiment of the cold end switch battery management control method, a battery generates an output voltage at a positive terminal thereof. A first control voltage is also generated by an integrated circuit. A gate of a field effect transistor (FET) receives the first control voltage, wherein the FET comprises a drain and a source with the source coupled to a negative terminal of the battery. The FET transmits current towards the battery in response to the gate receiving the first control voltage, wherein the first control voltage is greater than the output voltage, and wherein the first control voltage is less than a breakdown voltage of the integrated circuit.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2011Publication date: March 14, 2013Inventors: Tetsuo Sato, Tsutomu Kawano, Koji Kashimoto, Takao Hidaka, Tsuyoshi Ota, Ryoji Kato

Patent number: 8068362Abstract: A non-volatile semiconductor memory device capable of preventing reading failure during the occurrence of the FG-FG coupling effect is disclosed. The non-volatile semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell array, each cell of which stores at least two bits, such as LSB and MSB, using different threshold voltages. In addition, the device includes a control circuit for controlling the data-reading operation of the memory cell array. When the reading operation of the memory cells of a first word line is performed, the memory cells of a second word line adjacent to the first word line are examined to determine whether the writing operation of the MSB is performed. If the writing operation of the MSB is performed, a pre-charge voltage of the bit lines connecting to the memory cells of the first word line is reduced to a predetermined voltage for canceling out the raising of the threshold voltage caused by the coupling effect between gate electrodes.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2009Date of Patent: November 29, 2011Assignee: Powerchip Technology CorporationInventor: Tsuyoshi Ota
