    Abstract: In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may change a device operating voltage from a first voltage to a second voltage while the assist circuit is in a first state. The apparatus may also maintain the device operating voltage at the second voltage for a predetermined time. The apparatus may switch the assist circuit from the first state to a second state. The apparatus may adjust the device operating voltage to a third voltage after the predetermined time, wherein the second voltage is a voltage level between the first voltage and the third voltage. By transitioning the device operating voltage from the first voltage to the third voltage while at the same time preventing the assist circuit from entering particular read assist states, the apparatus may reduce a likelihood of read failures.

    Abstract: Voltage droop control is disclosed. A device includes a first component coupled to an external power supply and a second component coupled to the external power supply. The first component includes a first input configured to receive a first voltage, a first internal power supply configured to be charged by the external power supply in response to the first voltage corresponding to a first logical value, and a voltage droop controller configured to output a second voltage via a first output. The second voltage corresponds to the first logical value in response to a first voltage level of the first internal power supply satisfying a second voltage level. The second component includes a second input configured to receive the second voltage from the first output.

    Abstract: A computer-readable storage medium for controlling voltage droop storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause a device to perform operations including receiving a first voltage to a first input of a first component of a device. The first voltage corresponding to a first logical value causes a first internal power supply of the first component to be charged using an external power supply. The operations further include providing a second voltage to a second input of a second component of the device in response to a first voltage level of the first internal power supply satisfying a second voltage level. The second voltage corresponding to the first logical value causes a second internal power supply of the second component of the device to be charged using the external power supply.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses having an improved write assist scheme are presented. An apparatus includes a power supply node configured to provide power from a power supply to one memory cell to store data; a bitline configured to provide write data to the one memory cell in a write operation; and a discharge circuit configured to selectively discharge the power supply node to the bitline, based on the write data. A method to write into a memory cell with a write assist scheme includes providing power from a power supply to one memory cell via a power supply node, to store data; providing write data to the one memory cell via a bitline in a write operation; and discharging, selectively based on the write data, the power supply node to the bitline.
