20090040825 | NOVEL ROW REDUNDANCY SCHEME IN A MULTICHIP INTEGRATED MEMORY - Column redundancy is provided outside of a FLASH memory chip using a separate companion controller chip. The companion chip initially receives and stores fuse address information from the FLASH memory chip for defective memory cells in the FLASH memory. In a read mode of operation, the companion control chip detects receipt of a defective address from the FLASH memory and stores in a redundant shift register redundant data that is downloaded from the FLASH memory chip. The redundant data is used to provide correct FLASH memory data to an external user that interfaces with the companion control chip. In a program mode of operation, the companion control chip provides redundant bits that are stored in redundant columns in the FLASH memory chip. The companion control chip provides flexibility by readily providing a number of different redundancy schemes for bits, nibbles, or bytes without requiring additional logic circuits in the FLASH memory chip itself. Data is transferred between the FLASH memory chip and the companion control chip a byte at a time. | 02-12-2009 |

Column redundancy match logic provides a match output signal corresponding to a match of a particular user input address for the non-volatile memory with the address of a defective non-volatile memory cell, the collection of said addresses stored in the column redundancy RAM memory array. Column redundancy replacement logic, in response to a match output, dynamically substitutes correct data associated with a defective non-volatile memory cell into an I/O program or read data bit stream of the non-volatile memory chip. | 04-02-2009 |
20090287896 | OFF-CHIP MICRO CONTROL AND INTERFACE IN A MULTICHIP INTEGRATED MEMORY SYSTEM - A communication interface, coupling a controller device to one or more memory devices, provides a high-voltage reset interface.

The reset voltage signal is greater than a maximum voltage representing a high logic value. The communication interface may also include a bi-directional data and address interface that is used to send address, data, and commands between the controller device and the one or more memory devices. A method of transferring information between the controller device and the one or more non-volatile memory devices includes resetting the one or more non-volatile memory devices by asserting a high-voltage signal on the high-voltage reset interface and sending a command from the controller device to the one or more non-volatile memory devices via the data and address interface. | 11-19-2009 |
