| 20090237998 | Adaptive Algorithm in Cache Operation with Dynamic Data Latch Requirements - A non-volatile memory can perform a first operation (such as a write, for example) on a designated group of one or more addressed pages using a first set of data stored in the corresponding set of data latches and also receive a request for a second operation (such as a read, for example) that also uses some of these corresponding data latches with a second set of data. During the first operation, when at least one latch of each set of the corresponding become available for the second operation, the memory whether there are a sufficient number of the corresponding set of data latches to perform the second operation during the first operation; if not, the second operation is delayed. The memory subsequently can perform the second operation during the first operation when a sufficient number of latches become available; and if, in response to determining whether there are a sufficient number of the corresponding set of data latches to perform the second operation it is determined that there are a sufficient number, performing the second operation during the first operation. | 09-24-2009 |

| 20090193314 | FORWARD ERROR CORRECTION FOR BURST AND RANDOM PACKET LOSS FOR REAL-TIME MULTI-MEDIA COMMUNICATION - This invention relates generally to a packet recovery algorithm for real-time (live) multi-media communication over packet-switched networks, such as the Internet. Such multi-media communication includes video, audio, data or any combination thereof. More specifically, the invention comprises a forward error correction (FEC) algorithm that addresses both random and burst packet loss and errors, and that can be adjusted to tradeoff the recoverability of missing packets and the latency incurred. The transmitter calculates parity packets for the rows, columns and diagonals of a block of multi-media data packets using the exclusive or (XOR) operation and communicates the parity packets along with the multi-media data packets to the receiver. The receiver uses the parity packets to recover missing multi-media data packets in the block. The FEC algorithm is designed to be able to recover long bursts of consecutive missing data packets. If some parity packets are missing, they too can be recovered using an extra single parity packet, so that they can be used to recover other missing data packets. The invention applies to both one-way real-time streaming applications and two-way real-time interactive applications, and to both wired and wireless networks. The invention retains backwards compatibility with existing standards governing FEC for professional video over IP networks. | 07-30-2009 |

| 20130084816 | Wideband Power Efficient High Transmission Power Radio Frequency (RF) Transmitter - Embodiments provide transmitter topologies that improve the power efficiency and bandwidth of RF transmitters for high transmission power applications. In an embodiment, the common-emitter/source PA of conventional topologies is replaced with a current-input common-base/gate PA, which is stacked on top on an open-collector/drain current-output transmitter. The common-base/gate PA protects the output of the transmitter from large output voltage swings. The low input impedance of the common-base/gate PA makes the PA less susceptible to frequency roll-off, even in the presence of large parasitic capacitance produced by the transmitter. At the same time, the low input impedance of the common-base/gate PA reduces the voltage swing at the transmitter output and prevents the transmitter output from being compressed or modulated. In an embodiment, the DC output current of the transmitter is reused to bias the PA, which results in power savings compared to conventional transmitter topologies. | 04-04-2013 |

The managing circuit is relieved of the need to access the write data to determine whether a “0” represents a storage element for which programming is completed. Power consumption can also be reduced by keeping a bit line voltage high between a verify phase of one program-verify iteration and a program phase of a next program-verify iteration. | 08-04-2011 |

| 20120166913 | Non-Volatile Memory And Methods With Asymmetric Soft Read Points Around Hard Read Points - A non-volatile memory has its cells' thresholds programmed within any one of a first set of voltage bands partitioned by a first set of reference thresholds across a threshold window. The cells are read at a higher resolution relative to a second set of reference thresholds so as to provide additional soft bits for error correction. The reference thresholds of the second set are set up to be non-uniformly distributed on the threshold window so as to provide higher resolution at designated regions. At the same time they are conducive to be read in groups for soft bits to be read bit-by-bit systematically with a simple algorithm and read circuit and using a minimum of data latches. This is accomplished by relaxing the requirement that the first set of reference threshold is a subset of the second set and that the resulting soft bits are symmetrically distributed about the hard bits. | 06-28-2012 |
| 20120297111 | Non-Volatile Memory And Method With Improved Data Scrambling - A memory device cooperating with a memory controller scrambles each unit of data using a selected scrambling key before storing it in an array of nonvolatile memory cells. This helps to reduce program disturbs, user read disturbs, and floating gate to floating gate coupling that result from repeated and long term storage of specific data patterns. For a given page of data having a logical address and for storing at a physical address, the key is selected from a finite sequence thereof as a function of both the logical address and the physical address. In a block management scheme the memory array is organized into erase blocks, the physical address is the relative page number in each block. When logical address are grouped into logical groups and manipulated as a group and each group is storable into a sub-block, the physical address is the relative page number in the sub-block. | 11-22-2012 |

| 20090153219 | Replica bias circuit for high speed low voltage common mode driver - A transmitter provides fast settling times, slew rate control, and power efficiency while reducing the need for large external capacitors. The transmitter typically includes a pre-driver, driver, and replica circuit. The pre-driver can shift the voltage level of an input signal to produce a shifted signal. The pre-driver can shift the voltage level in response to a selectable load resistance circuit and a voltage regulation feedback signal. The driver receives the shifted signal and generates a driver output signal in response to the received shifted signal. The replica circuit can be a scaled replica of the pre-driver and the driver using scaled components from the pre-driver and driver circuits. The scaled components can be used to generate the voltage regulation feedback signal. The generated voltage regulation feedback signal represents, for example, whether the output voltage of the driver output is above a reference voltage. | 06-18-2009 |
