摘要:
A memory with disabling circuit includes a memory matrix and a disabling circuit. The memory matrix includes a data input/output end and an output enable end. The disabling circuit includes a fuse and an output end. When the fuse is not blown, the disabling circuit transmits the signal of the data input/output end to the output end according to the signal of the output enable end. When the fuse is blown, the disabling circuit generates a tri-state to the output end. Therefore, external circuits cannot perform actions of reading or writing to access the memory matrix.

The present invention provides a method of reducing current of a memory in a self-refreshing mode and a related memory. The memory includes a word line driver and a controller, and the word line driver includes a transistor. The transistor has a control terminal, a first terminal coupled to a word line, and a second terminal. The method includes: after the memory enters the self-refreshing mode: controlling a voltage difference between the control terminal and the second terminal to correspond to a first value during a self-refreshing operation period; and controlling a voltage difference between the control terminal and the second terminal to correspond to a second value smaller than the first value during a non self-refreshing operation period.

A voltage regulator includes a first transistor, a second transistor, a third transistor, a feedback unit, a comparison unit, a first control unit and a second control unit. The first transistor is controlled by the feedback unit and the comparison unit, for stabilizing the voltage of the output node. When the first control unit turns on the second transistor, the voltage of the output node rises. When the first control unit turns off the second transistor, it triggers the second control unit turning on the third transistor, so the first transistor is turned on completely. Therefore, when the third transistor is turned off, the first transistor can be controlled by the feedback unit and the comparison unit for stabilizing the voltage of the output node.
