DE 10 2012 108 545 A1 2013.04.04 Beschreibung QUERVERWEIS AUF VERWANDTE ANMELDUNG [0001] Es wird die Priorität der am 29. September 2011 eingereichten koreanischen Patentanmeldung, deren Gesamtheit hierin durch Inbezugnahme aufgenommen wird, beansprucht gemäß 35 U. S. C § 119. HINTERGRUND [0002] Beispielhafte Ausführungsformen beziehen sich auf nichtflüchtige Speichervorrichtungen mit Speicher- zellen, die jeweils eine variable Schwellwertspannung besitzen. [0003] Halbleiterspeicher werden angesehen als die vielleicht grundlegendsten mikroelektronischen Kompo- nenten eines digitalen logischen Systementwurfs, wie z. B. von Computer und Mikroprozessor-basierenden Anwendungen, die von Satelliten bis zu Unterhaltungselektronik reichen. Daher helfen Fortschritte bei der Herstellung von Halbleiterspeichern einschließlich Verfahrensverbesserungen und Technologieentwicklungen durch Skalieren für höhere Dichten und höhere Geschwindigkeiten, Leistungsstandards für andere digitale Logikfamilien zu etablieren. [0004] Halbleiterspeichervorrichtungen schließen zum Beispiel flüchtige Schreib-Lese-Speicher (RAMs) und nichtflüchtige Speichervorrichtungen mit ein. In dem Fall der flüchtigen RAMs wird Logikinformation typischer- weise gespeichert entweder durch Festlegen des Logikzustands eines bistabilen Flip-Flops, wie z. B. bei einem statischen Schreib-Lese-Speicher (SRAM), oder durch Aufladen eines Kondensators wie bei einem dynami- schen Schreib-Lese-Speicher (ERAM). In beiden Fällen werden Daten gespeichert und können ausgelesen werden solange Strom angelegt ist, und gehen verloren, wenn die Spannungsversorgung ausgeschaltet wird; daher fallen sie in die Kategorie der flüchtigen Speicher. [0005] Nichtflüchtige Speicher, wie z. B. ein maskenprogrammierter Nur-Lese-Speicher (MROM), ein pro- grammierbarer Nur-Lese-Speicher (PROM), ein löschbarer programmierbarer Nur-Lese-Speicher (EPROM) und ein elektrisch löschbarer programmierbarer Nur-Lese-Speicher (EEPROM) sind in der Lage, gespeicherte Daten zu halten, selbst wenn die Spannungsversorgung abgeschaltet wird. Das Datenspeicherverfahren des nichtflüchtigen Speichers kann permanent oder umprogrammierbar sein in Abhängigkeit von der verwende- ten Herstellungstechnologie. Nichtflüchtige Speicher werden verwendet für Programm- und Mikrocode-Spei- cher bei einer Vielzahl von Anwendungen in der Computer-, der Luftfahrtelektronik-, der Telekommunikations- und der Unterhaltungselektronikindustrie. Eine Kombination von flüchtigen und nichtflüchtigen Einzelchip-Spei- cherbetriebsarten ist außerdem verfügbar bei Vorrichtungen wie z. B. einem nichtflüchtigen SRAM (nvSRAM) zur Verwendung in Systemen, die einen schnellen, programmierbaren nichtflüchtigen Speicher erfordern. Zu- sätzlich haben sich dutzende von speziellen Speicherarchitekturen herausgebildet, die irgendeine zusätzliche Logikschaltung enthalten zum Optimieren ihrer Leistungsfähigkeit für anwendungsspezifische Aufgaben. [0006] In nichtflüchtigen Speichern können jedoch ein MROM, ein PROM und ein EPROM nicht von einem System selbst gelöscht und beschrieben werden, so dass es nicht einfach ist für einen üblichen Benutzer, gespeicherte Inhalte zu aktualisieren. Andererseits kann ein EEPROM elektrisch gelöscht oder beschrieben werden. Die Anwendung des EEPROM hat sich erweitert auf einen Hilfsspeicher oder auf Systemprogrammie- rung, bei denen kontinuierliche Aktualisierungen benötigt werden (z. B. Flash-EEPROM). KURZFASSUNG [0007] Ein Aspekt von Ausführungsformen des erfinderischen Konzepts ist gerichtet auf ein Soft-Decisi- on-Ausleseverfahren einer nichtflüchtigen Speichervorrichtung. Das Soft-Decision-Ausleseverfahren umfasst Empfangen eines Soft-Decision-Auslesebefehls; Anlegen einer Lesespannung an eine ausgewählte Wortlei- tung, Vorladen von Bitleitungen, die jeweils mit ausgewählten Speicherzellen der ausgewählten Wortleitung verbunden sind; und kontinuierliches Abtasten von Zuständen der ausgewählten Speicherzellen, wobei die vorgeladenen Spannungen der Bitleitungen und die an die ausgewählte Wortleitung angelegte Lesespannung nicht variiert werden während des Abtastens von Zuständen der ausgewählten Speicherzellen. [0008] Ein weiterer Aspekt von Ausführungsformen des erfinderischen Konzepts ist gerichtet auf eine nicht- flüchtige Speichervorrichtung mit einem Speicherzellenarray mit Speicherzellen, die an Kreuzungspunkten von Wortleitungen und Bitleitungen angeordnet sind; einer Zeilenauswahlschaltung, die konfiguriert ist zum Treiben einer ausgewählten von den Wortleitungen; und einer Lese/Schreib-Schaltung mit Speicherseitenpuffern, die 2/52 DE 10 2012 108 545 A1 2013.04.04 jeweils mit den Bitleitungen verbunden sind; und einer Steuerlogik, die konfiguriert ist zum Steuern der Lese/ Schreib-Schaltung und der Zeilenauswahlschaltung, wobei die Steuerlogik eine Soft-Decision-Ausleseopera- tion steuert, bei der Bitleitungen, die jeweils mit ausgewählten Speicherzellen einer ausgewählten Wortleitung verbunden sind, die mit einer Lesespannung versorgt ist, vorgeladen werden und Spannungen von jeweils den Bitleitungen entsprechenden Abtastknoten zumindest zweimal, als erste Daten und zweite Daten, festgehalten werden, während die vorgeladenen Spannungen der Bitleitungen und eine an die ausgewählte Wortleitung angelegte Lesespannung nicht variiert werden; und wobei die Steuerlogik variabel jeweilige Entwicklungszei- ten der kontinuierlichen Abtastoperationen der Leseoperation steuert.

A given ISA may be implemented with different microarchitectures.[1] Implementations might vary due to different goals of a given design or due to shifts in technology.[2] Computer architecture is the combination of microarchitecture and instruction set design. Relation to instruction set architecture The ISA is roughly the same as the programming model of a processor as seen by an assembly language programmer or compiler writer. The ISA includes the execution model, processor registers, address and data formats among other things. The Intel Core microarchitecture microarchitecture includes the constituent parts of the processor and how these interconnect and interoperate to implement the ISA. The microarchitecture of a machine is usually represented as (more or less detailed) diagrams that describe the interconnections of the various microarchitectural elements of the machine, which may be everything from single gates and registers, to complete arithmetic logic units (ALU)s and even larger elements.

Viredaz d i g i t a l Western Research Laboratory 250 University Avenue Palo Alto, California 94301 USA The Western Research Laboratory (WRL) is a computer systems research group that was founded by Digital Equipment Corporation in 1982. Our focus is computer science research relevant to the design and application of high performance scientific computers. We test our ideas by designing, building, and using real systems. The systems we build are research prototypes; they are not intended to become products. There are two other research laboratories located in Palo Alto, the Network Systems Lab (NSL) and the Systems Research Center (SRC). Another Digital research group is located in Cambridge, Massachusetts (CRL). Our research is directed towards mainstream high-performance computer systems. Our prototypes are intended to foreshadow the future computing environments used by many Digital customers. The long-term goal of WRL is to aid and accelerate the development of high-performance uni- and multi-processors. The research projects within WRL will address various aspects of high-performance computing. We believe that significant advances in computer systems do not come from any single technological advance. Technologies, both hardware and software, do not all advance at the same pace. System design is the art of composing systems which use each level of technology in an appropriate balance. A major advance in overall system performance will require reexamination of all aspects of the system. We do work in the design, fabrication and packaging of hardware; language processing and scaling issues in system software design; and the exploration of new applications areas that are opening up with the advent of higher performance systems.
