Methods and apparatus for managing download of content to a client device are disclosed. In one aspect, the download process is optimized for bandwidth usage by using criteria such as time of day, level of network activity and priority of download. In another aspect, download of content is prioritized based on certain rules, user inputs and pre-emptive events on the client device. A computer program embodying these methods and a multimedia client device adapted to run this program are also disclosed.

Methods of operating a memory device and memory devices are provided. For example, a method of operating a memory array is provided that includes a synchronous path and an asynchronous path. A Write-with-Autoprecharge signal is provided to the synchronous path, and various bank address signals are provided to the asynchronous path. In another embodiment, the initiation of the bank address signals may be provided asynchronously to the assertion of the Write-with-Autoprecharge signal.

Memories, systems, and methods for refreshing are provided, such as a memory with an array of memory cells divided into sections. Memories include replacement elements having a digit line, and detecting circuitry coupled to the digit line of at least one section of the memory cell array and coupled to the digit line of the replacement element. Memories include control logic configured to selectively refresh the replacement element at an occurrence when a non-neighboring section of the memory cell array relative to the replacement element is refreshed. Other memories, systems, and methods are provided.

Memories, precharge control circuits, methods of controlling, and methods of utilizing are disclosed, including precharge control circuits for a memory having at least one bank of memory. One such control circuit includes at least one precharge preprocessor circuit. The precharge preprocessor circuit is coupled to a respective bank of memory and is configured to prevent precharge of the respective bank of memory until after execution of buffered write commands issued to the respective bank of memory is completed.

The present invention provides a system for purchasing music in integrated songs or divided into manipulatable components and then create new works with these components in unique productions and then release and distribute such music in either integrated or non integrated form stored with information that tracks the relative royalty characteristics of the stems/components of the song for later accounting and distribution of royalties to the owners of the song/song components/stems based on the purchase reproduction and resale of the components/stems/songs.
摘要:
A DDR SDRAM where unidirectional row logic is associated with and connected to a single memory array instead of being associated with and connected to multiple memory arrays. The unidirectional row logic is located in the outward periphery of its associated array, but is not within a throat region between two arrays. The location of the row logic allows the throat region to include more bidirectional IO circuitry and signal lines servicing two arrays, which increases the performance of the SDRAM. In addition, separate power bussing is employed for the memory arrays and IO circuitry. This prevents noise from the arrays from affecting the IO circuitry and signal lines of the throat region and vice versa.

A DRAM circuit with reduced power consumption and in some circumstances faster memory array access speed. Input/output lines connected to a memory array are sensed according to their capacitance/length in comparison to a threshold capacitance/length. The input/output lines that are shorter, or less capacitive, than the threshold are sensed sooner than those input/output lines that are longer, more capacitive, than the threshold. Since shorter input/output lines are sensed sooner, they require less power and may be accessed faster.
摘要:
A voltage generating circuit for generating internal voltage for a packaged integrated circuit memory device, is controllable to provide incremental adjustments in the voltage for testing of the memory device. The voltage generating circuit permits internally generated voltages of the memory device, such as the substrate voltage Vbb, the DVC2 voltage, and the pumped voltage Vccp, to be controlled externally through the application of test signals via the conventional test function, in performing standard device tests such as the static refresh test, logic 1s and 0s margin testing, and the like for packaged memory devices. Also, programmable circuits including programmable logic devices, such as anti-fuses, are provided that are programmable to maintain the voltage at a magnitude to which it is adjusted.
摘要:
A semiconductor memory device including a memory-cell array divided into a plurality of memory sub-arrays that are arranged into rows and columns of memory cells. Each of the sub-arrays have a limited number of redundant rows and columns to repair defective memory cells. The redundant memory of at least two memory sub-arrays are coupled to an I/O line through a respective isolation circuit. A control circuit coupled to the isolation circuits selectively couples the redundant memory of the sub-arrays to the I/O line. Coupling the redundant memory of multiple sub-arrays facilitates using the redundant memory of one sub-array to repair the defective memory cells in other sub-arrays also coupled to the I/O line, when the redundant memory primarily associated with the other sub-arrays have been depleted.
