| 20090262585 | INPUT BUFFER AND METHOD WITH AC POSITIVE FEEDBACK, AND A MEMORY DEVICE AND COMPUTER SYSTEM USING SAME - An input buffer having a comparator that receives an input signal, a reference signal and a positive feedback. The comparator compares the input signal relative to the reference signal and generates an output signal transitioning between a first logic state and a second logic state responsive to the magnitude of the input signal transitioning through the magnitude of the reference signal. The comparator intensifies the output signal in response to the positive feedback from the output of the comparator while the output signal transitions from the first logic state to the second logic state. | 10-22-2009 |
| 20100002530 | Memory Address Repair Without Enable Fuses - A memory chip design methodology is disclosed wherein fuse banks on the memory chip may be implemented without enable fuses. A fuse bank may be enabled by using one or more least significant bits (LSBs) in the memory address stored in the fuse bank, thereby avoiding the need for a separate enable fuse. A reduction in the number of fuses results in space savings on the memory chip real estate and also savings in power consumption because of fewer fuses to be blown and read. With reduced fuse count, the yield of the memory chip's die may also be improved because of less number of defective fuses or failed fuse blows. The use of effective default state inversion for address fuses may further reduce the average number of fuses that need to be blown to repair a given non-redundant memory address. Because of the rules governing abstracts, this abstract should not be used to construe the claims. | 01-07-2010 |
| 20100182014 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETECTING TERMINAL STATE AND SETTING OUTPUT DRIVER IMPEDANCE - Embodiments of the present invention include systems for calibrating an output circuit. A comparator is coupled to a calibration terminal and configured to determine whether the calibration terminal is in a first state coupled to a calibration resistor or in a second state. A calibration circuit is coupled to the calibration terminal and configured to generate a calibration value based in part on the presence or absence of the calibration resistor. An impedance selector is coupled to the calibration circuit, the comparator, and a default calibration value. The impedance selector is configured to select the default calibration value when the comparator indicates the calibration terminal is in the second state and to select the calibration value coupled from the calibration circuit when the comparator indicates the calibration terminal is in the first state. | 07-22-2010 |

| 20090091350 | METHOD AND CIRCUIT FOR OFF CHIP DRIVER CONTROL, AND MEMORY DEVICE USING SAME - An off chip driver impedance adjustment circuit includes a storage circuit adapted to receive and store a drive strength adjustment word. A counter circuit is coupled to the storage circuit to receive the drive strength adjustment word and develops a drive strength count responsive to the drive strength adjustment word. A programmable fuse code to preset the counter. An output driver circuit is coupled to the counter circuit to receive the drive strength count and is adapted to receive a data signal. The output driver circuit develops an output signal on an output responsive to the data signal and adjusts a drive strength as a function of the drive strength count. | 04-09-2009 |
| 20090100291 | MEMORY DEVICE AND METHOD FOR REPAIRING A SEMICONDUCTOR MEMORY - A block repair device is used in a Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) having a primary array with a defective cell and a redundant array with a redundant row. The block repair device stores a block repair configuration that determines the dimensions (e.g., the number of rows and columns spanned) of a repair block. Routing circuitry is configured by the stored block repair configuration to output some row and column address bits from received row and column addresses in a selected ratio. Comparison circuitry compares the row and column address bits output by the routing circuitry with the address of the defective cell that defines the repair block. When a match occurs, the comparison circuitry implements a block repair by activating the redundant row and by causing data to be written to or read from the activated redundant row instead of the primary array. | 04-16-2009 |

| 20110234257 | OUTPUT DRIVER ROBUST TO DATA DEPENDENT NOISE - Techniques for controlling a driver to reduce data dependent noise, such as simultaneous switching effects and cross-talk effects. A plurality of drivers may each receive a data segment to transmit and a plurality of data segments that other drivers will transmit. A driver controller may adjust the time at which the data segment is transmitted in response to the plurality of data segments that the other drivers will transmit. The adjustment may compensate for simultaneous switching noise and cross-talk by, for example, delaying the transmission of a data segment or changing the slew rate of the signal carrying the data segment. | 09-29-2011 |
