Yen-Yao Wang has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10885981
    Abstract: A cell of a content-addressable memory (CAM) has a first switch, a second switch and a storage unit. A first end of the first switch and a first end of the second switch are coupled to a matchline. The first switch is controlled by a first search signal, and the second switch is controlled by a second search signal. The second search signal is complementary to the first search signal. The storage unit has a first inverter and a second inverter. The first inverter has a first latch node coupled to a second end of the first switch. The second inverter is cross-coupled to the first inverter and has a second latch node coupled to a second end of the second switch.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9299422
    Abstract: A 6T static random access memory cell, array, and memory thereof are provided, in which the memory cell includes a first inverter, a second inverter, a first access transistor, and a second access transistor. A first high supply voltage and a low supply voltage are coupled to the first inverter. A second high supply voltage and the low supply voltage are coupled to the second inverter. The first access transistor has a gate terminal coupled to a first word line. The first access transistor has a source terminal coupled to the first node. The second access transistor has a gate terminal coupled to a second word line, and the second access transistor has a source terminal coupled to the second node. The first word line provides ON signals to turn on the first access transistor, and the second high supply voltage provides a first differential voltage simultaneously.
