    摘要: Voltage boosters or pass circuits for generating a boosted voltage are advantageous in the decoding and programming of memory devices and, in particular, NAND flash memory devices. The boosted voltage can be used as a gate voltage for a pass gate providing programming voltages to a selected block of memory cells, such as in a NAND flash memory array. The pass circuits facilitate the elimination of high-voltage p-channel devices by providing a boosted voltage using n-channel devices. The pass circuits further permit control of multiple pass gates using a single boosted voltage source.

    摘要: A user configurable circuit contains clock logic, a switching element and a data path circuit. Input data is received in the switching element, and the switching element and the data path circuit constitute the entire data path for the circuit. A plurality of user configurable inputs are received to configure the circuit for a particular user application. The clock logic and the switching element implement a logic function that is configurable by the user configurable inputs. The logic function is pre-processed in the clock logic so that minimal delay occurs in the data path. In addition, the propagation delay through the switching element and the register is independent of the user configurable inputs. The user configurable circuit of the present invention has application for use as a macro cell for a programmable logic device permitting the user to configure the circuit as a D-type flip-flop, a T-type flip-flop. In addition, the user selects the polarity for the output circuit.

    摘要: Providing for single and multi-bit error correction of electronic memory is described herein. As an example, error correction can be accomplished by establishing a suspect region between bit level distributions of a set of analyzed memory cells. The suspect region can define potential error bits for the distributions. If a bit error is detected for the distributions, error correction can first be applied to the potential error bits in the suspect region. By identifying suspected error bits and limiting initial error correction to such identified bits, complexities involved in applying error correction to all bits of the distributions can be mitigated or avoided, improving efficiency of bit error corrections for electronic memory.
