VOLATILE MEMORY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17875908 titled 'VOLATILE MEMORY DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a volatile memory device with a reduced area. Here are the key points:

  • The memory device includes a row decoder, a column decoder, a cell region, and a peripheral circuit region.
  • The row decoder and column decoder extend in different directions.
  • The cell region is located between the row decoder and column decoder and includes a sense amplifier and a bit line connected to the sense amplifier.
  • The peripheral circuit region is separate from the cell region and includes a complementary bit line connected to the sense amplifier.
  • The sense amplifier is designed to perform read/write operations on a memory cell connected to the bit line using the complementary bit line.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This memory device can be used in various electronic devices such as computers, smartphones, tablets, and other devices that require volatile memory.
  • It can be integrated into data storage systems, allowing for faster and more efficient data access and manipulation.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • The reduced area of the memory device helps in optimizing space utilization in electronic devices, allowing for more compact designs.
  • The separate peripheral circuit region helps in reducing interference and noise, improving the overall performance and reliability of the memory device.

Benefits of this technology:

  • The reduced area of the memory device allows for more efficient use of space in electronic devices, enabling smaller and sleeker designs.
  • The separate peripheral circuit region helps in minimizing interference and noise, leading to improved performance and reliability.
  • The read/write operations performed by the sense amplifier using the complementary bit line enhance the speed and efficiency of data access and manipulation.


Original Abstract Submitted

A volatile memory device having a reduced area may include; a row decoder extending in a first direction, a column decoder extending in a second direction, a cell region between the row decoder and the column decoder and including a first sense amplifier and a first bit line connected to the first sense amplifier, and a first peripheral circuit region spaced apart from the cell region in the first direction and including includes a first complementary bit line connected to the first sense amplifier. The first sense amplifier may be configured to perform a read/write operation in relation to a first memory cell connected to the first bit line using the first complementary bit line.
