Abstract: A circuit provides a regulated voltage supply for other circuits. The circuit includes a bias current source and a reference voltage source. The circuit includes a pass transistor and a feedback transistor. The pass transistor receives input from the feedback transistor that generates a regulated voltage at a terminal of the pass transistor. The feedback transistor receives inputs from the regulated voltage of the pass transistor and the reference voltage source. The feedback transistor provides voltage for the input of the pass transistor, thereby controlling the regulated voltage generated by the pass transistor. The regulated voltage generated by the pass transistor is provided as a regulated voltage supply to other circuits.

Abstract: Methods are provided for forming films of orthorhombic V2O5. Additionally provided are the orthorhombic V2O5 films themselves, as well as batteries incorporating the films as cathode materials. The methods use electrodeposition from a precursor solution to form a V2O5 sol gel on a substrate. The V2O5 gel can be annealed to provide an orthorhombic V2O5 film on the substrate. The V2O5 film can be freestanding such that it can be removed from the substrate and integrated without binders or conductive filler into a battery as a cathode element. Due to the improved intercalation properties of the orthorhombic V2O5 films, batteries formed using the V2O5 films have extraordinarily high energy density, power density, and capacity.

Abstract: A memory system with improved power consumption and operation speed. A memory system performs a data read operation in a low power read mode to improve operation speed and reduce power consumption by biasing bit cells in the memory system at a negative voltage. The use of the negative voltage minimizes changing of voltages of the bit cells. Additionally, the memory system performs data read operation in a margin read mode to improve accuracy of the reading by biasing the bit cells at a positive voltage.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to a single multi-output high-voltage (HV) switch configured to pass multiple HV signals in semiconductor integrated circuits, such as a memory device. By utilizing a single HV switch that shares multiple components, area is reduced and fewer numbers of transistor devices are used to reduce cost. The shared components are selected such that the HV switch configuration provides functionality similar to traditional multiple HV switch configurations. Specifically, common logic shared across different branches of the single HV switch enables the single HV switch to provide multiple HV signals.
