Patent number: 9852078Abstract: Sensing techniques and associated circuitry are provided for use with a memory device. The techniques are suited for sensing operations involving even-numbered or odd-numbered bit lines. In one approach, a mapping between caches and sense amplifiers in a sensing circuit is modified by using dual data buses. One bus is used for same-tier transfers and the other is used for cross-tier transfers. Each tier comprises a set of sense amplifiers and a corresponding set of caches. This approach does not require a modification of the input/output path which is connected to the sensing circuitry.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2015Date of Patent: December 26, 2017Assignee: SanDisk Technologies LLCInventors: Shingo Zaitsu, Yosuke Kato, Naoki Ookuma

Patent number: 9703719Abstract: Sensing techniques and associated circuitry are provided for use with a memory device. The techniques are suited for sensing operations involving even-numbered or odd-numbered bit lines. In one approach, the sensing circuitry includes left and right hand portions which have separate cache access lines, but are connected to a common output bus. A full data word can be output at a time by using a half word from the left hand portion and a half word from the right hand portion. Or, the sensing circuitry can be configured so that a full data word is output at a time from the left or right hand portion. One implementation provides an N-bit bus and N input paths for each of the left and right hand portions. Another implementation provides an N-bit bus and N/2 input paths for each of the left and right hand portions.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2015Date of Patent: July 11, 2017Assignee: SanDisk Technologies LLCInventors: Gopinath Balakrishnan, Chang Siau, Yosuke Kato, Wanfang Tsai, Shingo Zaitsu

Patent number: 8971141Abstract: A compact and versatile high speed sense amplifier suitable for use in non-volatile memory circuits is presented. The sense amp circuit uses one power supply level for the bit line driving path and a second supply level for a data latch of the sense amp. The latch's supply level is of a high level that used for driving the bit lines and can be provided by a charge pump. The sense amp need use only NMOS devices for its analog path. For balancing performance and current consumption, the sense amp also includes an additional latch to support a “hybrid lockout” sensing mode, where in a verify operation a read-lockout is used between different data states, but not between the low and high quick pass write (QPW) verifies.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2013Date of Patent: March 3, 2015Assignee: SanDisk Technologies Inc.Inventors: Man Lung Mui, Yosuke Kato, Hao Thai Nguyen, Seungpil Lee

Patent number: 8776979Abstract: Disclosed is a parking lock apparatus which can prevent an electric actuator from being accessed from the outside of the vehicle, and thereby can prevent the function of the parking lock apparatus from being lowered as well as can reduce the production cost in comparison with the conventional parking lock apparatus. The parking lock apparatus comprises an electric actuator 11 to be activated in response to the shift operation, and a parking lock apparatus 12 capable of selectively taking a parking lock maintained state to have the stoppage state of a vehicle 1 maintained or a parking lock released state to have the stoppage state of the vehicle 1 released. The electric actuator 11 is disposed between a first housing 1H partly constituting an engine 2 for generating a power and a second housing 2H partly constituting a transaxle 3 for transmitting the power generated by the engine 2.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2010Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yosuke Kato, Michitaka Tsuchida
