20130077412 | ROW DRIVER CIRCUIT FOR NAND MEMORIES INCLUDING A DECOUPLING INVERTER - Devices and circuits for row driver architectures that can improve an existing row driver circuit including a boosting capacitor and a level shifter circuit. For example, the improvement can include a decoupling inverter that decouples the level shifter from the boosting capacitor, which can reduce the time for the row driver to turn on and drive appropriate voltages to the matrix array. | 03-28-2013 |
20130223152 | CLOCK GENERATOR - A clock generator or oscillating circuit is provided to generate a clock signal with high Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSSR), or a stable clock signal that is resistant to variations in the power supply. The clock generator or oscillating circuit may also adjust the clock period (T) of the clock signal, either or both upwards and downwards, around its central value to compensate fabrication process variations. | 08-29-2013 |
20130235669 | HIGH VOLTAGE SWITCH CIRCUIT - Disclosed herein is a device that includes a first transistor coupled between an input terminal and an output terminal and including a control gate, a voltage-generating circuit configured to produce a voltage at the control gate of the first transistor, and a discharge circuit coupled between the input terminal of the first transistor and the control gate of the first transistor, the discharge circuit responding to a discharge signal to perform a discharge operation such that an electrical charge is discharged from the output terminal to the input terminal of the first transistor. | 09-12-2013 |

20130193590 | SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE INCLUDING VOLTAGE CONVERTER CIRCUIT, AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE - A semiconductor device includes a first bonding pad, a second bonding pad, a wire bonded to a selected one of the first and second bonding pads, a power supply line electrically connected to the first bonding pad, and a voltage converter circuit coupled to the second bonding pad, the voltage converter circuit being activated when the wire is bonded to the second pad to produce an internal power voltage, which is different from a voltage received by the voltage converter circuit through the wire and the second bonding pad, and supply the internal power voltage to the power supply line, and the voltage converter circuit being deactivated when the wire is connected to the first bonding pad to allow the power supply line to receive a power voltage through the wire and the first bonding pad. | 08-01-2013 |
20130294170 | SWITCH AND SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE INCLUDING THE SWITCH - A device includes a first transistor coupled between first and second nodes, and including a control gate supplied with a first control signal, a second transistor coupled between the first node and a third node, and including a control gate supplied with the first control signal, a third transistor coupled between the third node and a fourth node, and including a control gate supplied with a second control signal, a fourth transistor coupled between the fourth node and a fifth node, and including a control gate supplied with the second control signal, and a fifth transistor coupled between the fifth node and the second nodes, and including a control gate supplied with the first control signal. Each of the second and fifth transistors is smaller in threshold voltage than the first transistor. | 11-07-2013 |
