NOR GATE BASED LOCAL ACCESS LINE DESELECT SIGNAL GENERATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17725384 Titled 'NOR GATE BASED LOCAL ACCESS LINE DESELECT SIGNAL GENERATION'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a memory device that consists of multiple access lines and memory cells. Each memory cell is connected to a local access line and a global access line. The device also includes signal lines to control select devices that connect the global access lines to the local access lines. Additionally, there is a NOR gate that generates deselect signals to control deselect devices, which connect the local access lines to a deselect voltage.


Original Abstract Submitted

A memory device comprising a plurality of first global access lines, second global access lines, first local access lines, and second local access lines; and a plurality of memory cells, wherein a memory cell is coupled to one of the first local access lines and one of the second local access lines. The memory device further comprises a plurality of signal lines to communicate local access line select signals to control a plurality of select devices, wherein a select device selectively couples one of the first global access lines to one of the first local access lines; and a NOR gate to accept the plurality of local access line select signals as inputs and generate a plurality of local access line deselect signals to control a plurality of deselect devices, wherein a deselect device selectively couples one of the first local access lines to a deselect voltage.
