POWER SUPPLY GENERATOR ASSIST - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240249761 titled 'POWER SUPPLY GENERATOR ASSIST

The disclosed system and method aim to reduce on-chip power IR drop caused by large write current, increase the write IO number, improve write throughput, and suppress write voltage ripple at the start and end of a write operation. These systems and methods are particularly focused on stabilizing the bit line voltage for MRAMs, but can be applied to any memory configuration drawing large currents during short write pulses or to assist a power supply generator in supplying adequate power to a load during times of high power consumption.

Original Abstract Submitted

the disclosed system and method reduce on-chip power ir drop caused by large write current, to increase the write io number or improve write throughput and to suppress write voltage ripple at the start and end of a write operation. the disclosed systems and methods are described in relation to stabilizing the bit line voltage for mrams, however, the disclosed systems and methods can be used to stabilize the bit line voltage of any memory configuration that draws large currents during short write pulses or, more generally, to selectively assist a power supply generator in supplying adequate power to a load at times of large power consumption.
