| Popis: | 94 In SOC applications, memory is always one of the necessary blocks, Therefore, it is important to investigate how to effectively minimize memory size, reduce power, and lower cost. Recently it has been proposed that a single-poly EEPROM memory structure using the standard 0.35μm CMOS process, achieves high density, low cost, to be applied to SOC as an embedded nonvolatile memory. This thesis is based on this kind of EEPROM as the memory cell to design the required peripheral circuits which are used to program and read the memory cell, including voltage drivers having enough drive ability for memory cells in program and read cycles, the sense amplifiers with cross-couple structures to reduce process mismatch and the simple verifying circuits to reduce complexity, finally, those circuits were combined with a control signal generator generating control signals for program and read, it well be applied to the complete silicon intellectual property (SIP) of the embedded nonvolatile memory in the future. |
