MEMORY DEVICE INCLUDING MERGED WRITE DRIVER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17894554 titled 'MEMORY DEVICE INCLUDING MERGED WRITE DRIVER
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a memory device that includes a memory cell array with two sub memory cell arrays, a merged write driver, and a column decoder. The merged write driver receives n-bit data and outputs different write voltages to a merged node based on the data bits. The column decoder applies the corresponding voltages from the merged node to each memory cell.
- The memory device has a memory cell array with two sub memory cell arrays.
- The merged write driver receives n-bit data and outputs different write voltages to a merged node.
- The column decoder applies the corresponding voltages from the merged node to each memory cell.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Memory devices in computers, smartphones, and other electronic devices.
- Data storage systems in cloud computing and data centers.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient writing of data to memory cells.
- Simplified circuit design for memory devices.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved performance and reliability of memory devices.
- Reduced power consumption and cost.
- Increased data storage capacity.
Original Abstract Submitted
A memory device including a memory cell array including a first sub memory cell array including a first memory cell and a second sub memory cell array including a second memory cell, a merged write driver including a first write circuit receiving n-bit data (n being a natural number ≥2) through a write input/output line, outputting a first write voltage to a merged node in response to a first data bit of the n-bit data, and outputting a second write voltage to the merged node in response to a second data bit of the n-bit data, and a column decoder including a first column multiplexer applying a first voltage of the merged node corresponding to the first data bit to the first memory cell and a second column multiplexer applying a second voltage of the merged node corresponding to the second data bit to the second memory cell.
