Patent number: 12119069Abstract: In an anti-fuse memory reading circuit with controllable reading time, a reading time control circuit generates a control signal corresponding to reading time. Based on a clock signal, a programmable reading pulse generation circuit generates a reading pulse with a pulse width corresponding to the control signal. Based on the reading pulse and the control signal, the reading amplification circuit selects a pull-up current source corresponding to the reading time, pulls up a voltage on a bit line (BL) of an anti-fuse memory cell, reads data stored in the anti-fuse memory cell starting from a rising edge of the reading pulse, and latches the read data at a falling edge of the reading pulse. The anti-fuse memory reading circuit can generate a reading pulse with a corresponding pulse width and a pull-up current source with a corresponding size based on the required reading time.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2022Date of Patent: October 15, 2024Assignee: WUXI ESIONTECH CO., LTD.Inventors: Zhengzhou Cao, Jie Zhu, Yanfei Zhang, Jing Sun, Zhenkai Ji, Zhengnan Ding

Patent number: 12099377Abstract: A delay adjustment cell is disposed in a channel of at least one regional clock of a chip clock architecture, and the delay adjustment cell includes a plurality of parallel delay paths with different delay values. The delay adjustment cell gates one of the delay paths based on an obtained configuration signal such that a connected regional clock has a corresponding target delay, and a target delay of each regional clock corresponds to a clock skew mode of the programmable logic chip. A clock skew between different regional clocks is adjusted by controlling the gated delay path in the delay adjustment cell, such that a clock skew of the chip can be adjusted in a relatively large range. Under the same resource configuration, different path choices of the delay adjustment cell lead to different clock skews to meet different clock skew modes in different application scenarios.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2022Date of Patent: September 24, 2024Assignee: WUXI ESIONTECH CO., LTD.Inventors: Chenguang Kuang, Yanfei Zhang, Boyin Chen, Jicong Fan

Patent number: 12009307Abstract: The present application discloses a multi-die FPGA implementing a built-in analog circuit using an active silicon connection layer, and relates to the field of FPGA technology. The multi-die FPGA allows multiple small-scale and small-area dies to cascade to achieve large-scale and large-area FPGA products, reducing processing difficulties and improving chip production yields. Meanwhile, due to the existence of the active silicon connection layer, some circuit structures that are difficult to implement within the die and/or occupy a large die area and/or have a low processing requirement can be laid out in the silicon connection layer, solving the existing problems of making these circuit structures directly within the die. Part of the circuit structures can be implemented within the silicon connection layer and the rest in the die, which helps optimize the performance of FPGA products, improve system stability, and reduce system area.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2020Date of Patent: June 11, 2024Assignee: WUXI ESIONTECH CO., LTD.Inventors: Yueer Shan, Yanfeng Xu, Jicong Fan, Yanfei Zhang, Hua Yan

Patent number: 11761017Abstract: The invention discloses a rice temperature sensitive male sterile gene mutant tms18 and its uses. During the study of TMS18 gene, the inventors found that the changing of fertility was related to the structural integrity of the second layer of pollen outer wall. The inventors accidentally found the thermo sensitive male sterile mutant tms18. The fertility of the mutant was affected by different temperatures and can be restored under low temperature treatment. More importantly, the fertility sensitive period of the mutant was different from that of other thermo sensitive male sterile genes. This unique feature of the gene can provide a new theoretical basis and apply value for two-line hybrid rice breeding.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2021Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignee: SHANGHAI NORMAL UNIVERSITYInventors: Zhongnan Yang, Jun Zhu, Yueling Li, Yanfei Zhang
