Abstract
Briefly, in accordance with an embodiment of the invention, a single charge pump is discussed that may provide a read voltage having a tolerance of less than about ±200 millivolts (mV) at an output terminal of the single charge pump. The output terminal of the single charge pump may be coupled to a flash memory to couple the read voltage to the memory to read information stored in the memory.
Claims26
An apparatus, comprising:
- a memory to store information;
- a single charge pump to provide a read voltage having a tolerance of less than about ±200 millivolts (mV) at an output terminal of the single charge pump, wherein the output terminal of the single charge pump is coupled to the memory to couple the read voltage to the memory to read information stored in the memory.
A method, comprising
- generating a read voltage having a tolerance of less than about ±200 mV from a single charge pump;
- and
- transferring the read voltage to a memory to read information stored in the memory.
A system, comprising:
- a controller;
- a wireless transceiver coupled to the controller;
- a memory coupled to the controller;
- and
- a single charge pump to provide a read voltage having a tolerance of less than about ±200 millivolts at an output terminal of the single charge pump, wherein the output terminal of the single charge pump is coupled to the memory to couple the read voltage to the memory to read information stored in the memory.
