Abstract: Techniques for mitigating/eliminating the impact of duty distortion caused by delays in clock paths within a built-in high-frequency test circuit for NAND flash are disclosed. By mitigating or eliminating the impact of duty distortion, accuracy of the valid data window measurement is ensured. Rising edges of a strobe clock signal and an inverted strobe clock signal are used to respectively locate even and odd data (or vice versa) within an input buffer of the NAND flash during respective sweeps of the strobe and inverted strobe clock signals. In this manner, even if the strobe clock signal's duty ratio is distorted, there is no impact on the valid data window measurement. Further, read latency is used to introduce delay to a read enable (RE) clock signal, thereby obviating the need for a replica controlled delay in the RE clock path and eliminating the duty distortion that would otherwise occur.

Abstract: An SRAM controller for performing sequential accesses using internal ports that operate concurrently on different rows. Each internal port includes a row address strobe (RAS) timer that generates clock signals controlling the timing of operations during a RAS phase in which word line decoding is performed once for a group of bit cells being accessed. The RAS phase can involve additional conditioning operations, such as precharging of local bits lines associated with the group of bit cells. The RAS phase is followed by an input/output (IO) phase in which individual bit cells are accessed in sequential address order using a column select signal generated by an IO timer. The RAS phase of a first internal port can be at least partially overlapped by the IO phase of a second internal port to hide the RAS latency of the first internal port. The IO timer can be shared among internal ports.

Abstract: A system is described that exhibits the functionality of a beam-splitter, typically an optical device that splits a beam of light in two. In this case, the beams are acoustic pulses and can lead to the creation of a Wannier-Mott exciton: a bound state of an electron and an electron hole whose attraction to each other is maintained by the electrostatic Coulomb force. This exciton beam-splitter is lossy (i.e., involves the dissipation of electrical or electromagnetic energy). Half of the time the exciton is radiated away. Nevertheless, if the exciton is not lost, the exciton is now in a superposition of two states that can be well separated in position. Four such beam-splitters can be used to make an exciton interferometer that uses the interference patterns from the interacting acoustic pulses to extract information.
