Abstract: Adaptive and dynamic control of the duration of a pre-program pulse based on a number of planes selected for the pre-program operation is disclosed. A value for a pre-program time increment parameter may be selected based on the number of planes for which the pre-program operation will be performed or determined based on a predefined association with the number of planes. A pre-program voltage pulse may then be applied for a duration that is equal to a default duration for a single-plane pre-program operation incremented by the time increment parameter value. This approach solves the technical problem of Vt downshift for multi-plane pre-program operations, and thus, ensures that the success rate of secure erase operations does not diminish as the number of planes increases. This, in turn, allows for pre-program operations to be consistently performed on a multi-plane basis, which produces the technical effect of improved system performance.

Abstract: Switchboxes are especially used in integrated circuits with programmable logic (e.g. FPGAs). They are used to establish configurable signal paths between logic blocks. It is especially important to use an efficient structure, i.e. a structure whose chip area is as small as possible and which is able to realize short and fast signal paths. The task of the present invention is to significantly reduce the effort for the interconnection structures while still maintaining good routeability. This is achieved by the fact that there is no longer a switchbox (SB) on each coordinate position. It is particularly advantageous to arrange the SBs in a chessboard-like manner and also to use two SBs of different sizes which are arranged in a superordinate chessboard structure.

Abstract: A tile of an FPGA provides memory, arithmetic functions, or both. Connections directly between multiple instances of the tile are available, allowing multiple tiles to be treated as larger memories or arithmetic circuits. By using these connections, referred to as cascade inputs and outputs, the input and output bandwidth of the arithmetic and memory circuits are increased, operand sizes are increased, or both.

Thus, implementations that need memories of different sizes, arithmetic functions operating on different sized operands, or both, can use the same FPGA without additional programming or waste. Using cascade communications, more tiles are used when a large memory is needed and fewer tiles are used when a small memory is needed and the waste is avoided.
