| 20100027312 | Compact Virtual Ground Diffusion Programmable ROM Array Architecture, System and Method - A compact, shared source line and bit line architecture for a diffusion programmable ROM. In one embodiment, a ROM circuit or instance includes a plurality of storage cells organized as an array of rows columns. A shared source line is associated with a first pair of adjacent columns, the shared source line being maintained at a predetermined level, wherein source terminals of storage cells in the adjacent columns are electrically coupled to the shared source line. A shared bit line is associated with a second pair of adjacent columns, the shared bit line being maintained at the predetermined level, wherein drain terminals of storage cells in the adjacent columns are electrically coupled to the shared bit line. | 02-04-2010 |
| 20080301507 | System and Method for Repairing a Memory - A method and system for repairing a memory. A test and repair wrapper is operable to be integrated with input/output (I/O) circuitry of a memory instance to form a wrapper I/O (WIO) block that is operable to receive test and repair information from a built-in self-test and repair (BISTR) processor. Logic circuitry associated with the WIO block is operable generate a current error signal that is used locally by the BISTR processor for providing a repair enable control signal in order to repair a faulty memory portion using a redundant memory portion without having to access a post-processing environment for repair signature generation. | 12-04-2008 |
