    摘要: Systems and methods manage power in an integrated circuit using power islands. The integrated circuit includes a plurality of power islands wherein a power consumption of each power island within the plurality of power islands is independently controlled within each power island of the plurality of power islands. A power manager determines a target power level for one power island of the plurality of power islands. The power manager then determines an action to change a consumption power level of the one power island of the plurality of power islands to the target power level. The power manager performs the action to change the consumption power level of the one power island of the plurality of power islands to the target power level.

    摘要: An apparatus, system, and method for controlling data transfer to an output port of a serial data link interface in a semiconductor memory is disclosed. In one example, a flash memory device may have multiple serial data links, multiple memory banks and control input ports that enable the memory device to transfer the serial data to a serial data output port of the memory device. In another example, a flash memory device may have a single serial data link, a single memory bank, a serial data input port, a control input port for receiving output enable signals. The flash memory devices may be cascaded in a daisy-chain configuration using echo signal lines to serially communicate between memory devices.

    摘要: A memory system architecture has serially connected memory devices. The memory system is scalable to include any number of memory devices without any performance degradation or complex redesign. Each memory device has a serial input/output interface for communicating between other memory devices and a memory controller. The memory controller issues commands in at least one bitstream, where the bitstream follows a modular command protocol. The command includes an operation code with optional address information and a device address, so that only the addressed memory device acts upon the command. Separate data output strobe and command input strobe signals are provided in parallel with each output data stream and input command data stream, respectively, for identifying the type of data and the length of the data. The modular command protocol is used for executing concurrent operations in each memory device to further improve performance.

    摘要: Generally, the present disclosure provides a non-volatile memory device having a hierarchical bitline structure for preventing erase voltages applied to one group of memory cells of the memory array from leaking to other groups in which erasure is not required. Local bitlines are coupled to the memory cells of each group of memory cells. Each local bitline can be selectively connected to a global bitline during read operations for the selected group, and all the local bitlines can be disconnected from the global bitline during an erase operation when a specific group is selected for erasure. Select devices for electrically connecting each bitline of a specific group of memory cells to the global bitline have device bodies that are electrically isolated from the bodies of those memory cells.
