33830 results about "Data lines" patented technology

Information (often called data) inside a computer, as well as on the board used in this tutorial, is exchanged among the various components by means of metallic conductors called data lines. A group of data lines is called a data bus. Each data line carries a unit of data called a bit. A bit can be on or off.

Data path having grounded precharge operation and test compression capability

A data path for coupling data between a memory cell and an input / output (IO) line sense amplifier. An IO line coupling circuit is coupled to a pair of global data lines and a pair of local data lines to couple and decouple each of the global data lines to and from a voltage supply based on the voltage levels of the local data lines for the memory read operation. For the memory write operation, the IO line coupling circuit couples and decouples each of the global data lines to and from a respective one of the local data lines. The data path also includes a first precharge circuit coupled to the global data lines to couple the global data lines to ground to precharge the signal lines prior to a memory read or write operation, and can further include a test compression circuit coupled to the global data lines.

Systems and methods for data transfers between memory cells

Systems and methods for reducing the latency of data transfers between memory cells by enabling data to be transferred directly between sense amplifiers in the memory system. In one embodiment, a memory system uses a conventional DRAM memory structure having a pair of first-level sense amplifiers, a second-level sense amplifier and control logic for the sense amplifiers. Each of the sense amplifiers is configured to be selectively coupled to a data line. In a direct data transfer mode, the control logic generates control signals that cause the sense amplifiers to transfer data from a first one of the first-level sense amplifiers (a source sense amplifier) to the second-level sense amplifier, and from there to a second one of the first-level sense amplifiers (a destination sense amplifier.) The structure of these sense amplifiers is conventional, and the operation of the system is enabled by modified control logic.

Correction of aging in amoled display

The data line voltage on the data line of the AMOLED sub-pixels is measured while the OLED is being driven by a reference current, in order to determine the age of the OLED in the sub-pixel. The pixel transistor serves as a current source for driving the OLED in the sub-pixel with the reference current. The data line voltage is substantially equal to the forward voltage VF(aged) of the aged OLED being driven at the reference current. The forward voltage VF (un-aged) of a reference (un-aged) OLED sub-pixel also measured at the reference current, and is subtracted from the measured OLED diode forward voltage VF (aged) to obtain their difference ΔVF=VF(aged)−VF(un-aged).
