By Francis Pelletier | August 18, 2023 at 2:00 pmAdesto Technologies Corporation, Santa Clara, CA, co Renesas Electronics Corporation, has been assigned a patent (11705163) developed by Trinh, Stephen, San Jose, CA, Hao, Duong Vinh, Hieu, Nguyen Khac, Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, Hartono, Hendrik, San Jose, CA, Dinh, John, Dublin, CA, and Hollmer, Shane Charles, Grass Valley, CA, for “nonvolatile memory devices, systems and methods with switching charge pump architectures.“
The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A memory device can include a nonvolatile memory (NVM) cell array, data path circuits, coupled between the NVM cell array and an output of the device, that are configured to enable access to the NVM cell array via a plurality of bit lines. A first charge pump can generate a first voltage supply. A second charge pump can generate a second voltage supply. Switch circuits are configured to, in a first mode, couple the first voltage supply to data path circuits, and in a second mode, couple the second voltage supply to the data path circuits. The first charge pump, the second charge pump, the switch circuits, the data path circuits and the NVM cell array are formed with the same integrated circuit substrate. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.”
The patent application was filed on 2021-07-02 (17/366501).
