LOW-VOLTAGE FUSE READ CIRCUIT

Abstract

Circuits and methods for reading fusible links that allows use of low-voltage logic circuitry utilizing devices that may have a high-voltage stand-off capability. Embodiments provide predictable operation that is less susceptible to PVT variations, allow the use of arrays of fuses that may be scaled to relatively large memory sizes, uses little integrated circuit area, and do not require extra pins for operation. Embodiments utilize a latch circuit and voltage dividers to generate a reference voltage VREF and a fuse voltage VFUSE, and then compares and latches the greater of those voltages. The circuitry does not require any more supply voltage than is needed to turn ON input pass transistors to the latch at a slightly higher voltage (VTH) than VREF. Since VREF may be about 0.1V, that turn-ON voltage may be as low as about 0.1V+VTH, and thus would be less than a VDD_MIN of about 1V.

Abstract

A power amplifying circuit that can set load impedances of amplifiers at optimal locations for a wide band is provided. The power amplifying circuit includes a differential amplifier having a first amplifier and a second amplifier, a first output terminal, and a second output terminal. By turning each switch on or off, a signal of a desired frequency is outputted from the first output terminal or the second output terminal. Inductors are provided in which turning directions of currents flowing therethrough are opposite to each other, and this causes magnetic coupling to weaken. By weakening this magnetic coupling, the size of a spiral of the impedance on the Smith chart is reduced. This enables the suppression of variation in the impedance with respect to the frequency. In a wide band operating frequency, a constant load impedance is realized using a series circuit made up of a switch and a capacitor.

Abstract

Novel NEDMOS and/or LDMOS FET integrated circuit structures that reduce or eliminate the floating body effect by reducing the built-in voltage Vbi of the device. Reduction of Vbi includes adding a source-side structure that includes a "Vbi Reduction Material" (VRM) layer. VRM has a bandgap less than the bandgap of Si and, for an N-type device, a valence band that is higher than the valence band of the body material. The low Vbi of the VRM layer on the source-side of a MOSFET device that would otherwise exhibit a floating body effect allows significantly freer movement of holes from the body of the device towards the source region, thus increasing body hole collection efficiency, and significantly reduces the floating body effect.
