A SG-MONOS cell realizes high performance with low power consumption and intrinsically high data reliability thanks to the combination of split-gate and charge-trapping structure. In addition, newly developed circuit techniques greatly enhance the advantages of SG-MONOS cells and enable fast and reliable operations even at the junction temperature (Tj) of 170°C with small peripheral circuit area; 1) a sense amplifier with digital offset cancellation (SA-DOC) provides fast read operation over 160 MHz; 2) adaptable program current control scheme (APCCS) and intelligent erase scheme (IES) significantly decrease the program and erase time, which also results in improving the memory cells´ reliability; and, 3) 3-D stacked unit capacitors achieve area-efficient charge pump. Two types of embedded flash (eFlash) macros with these technologies, code macro of 2 MB and data macro of 64 KB, were fabricated in a 40-nm eFlash process. The code macro demonstrates the capability of 160-MHz random read operation at Tj= 170°C, reaching 5.1 GB/s read throughput by simultaneous 256 bits read-out from two code macros. The data macro achieves the program/erase endurance over 10 million cycles at Tj= 170°C without any software-assisted techniques.</div> </div> <div class='row'> <div class='leftDiv labelDiv col-xs-4 col-sm-2 fullRecLabelEnglish'>Keywords : </div><div class='valueDiv leftDirection leftAlign col-xs-8 col-sm-10 fullRecValueEnglish'>amplifiers; automotive electronics; charge pump circuits; flash memories; microcontrollers; 3D stacked unit capacitors; APCCS; IES; MCU; SA-DOC; SG-MONOS flash macros; adaptable program current control scheme; area-efficient charge pump; automotive microcontroller unit; bit rate 5.1 Gbit/s; charge-trapping structure; digital offset cancellation; embedded split-gate MONOS flash macros; frequency 160 MHz; intelligent erase scheme; memory cells reliability; memory size 2 MByte; memory size 64 KByte; peripheral circuit area; sense amplifier; size 40 nm; temperature 170 C; Automotive engineering; Computer architecture; Integrated circuit reliability; Microprocessors; Split gate flash memory cells; Transistors; 3-D stacked capacitor; Automotive application; digital offset cancellation; embedded flash memory; fast random read operation; flash-MCU; high data reliability; high-temperature operation; split-gate MONOS (SG-MONOS);</div> </div> <div class='row'> <div class='leftDiv labelDiv col-xs-4 col-sm-2 fullRecLabelEnglish'>fLanguage : </div><div class='valueDiv leftDirection leftAlign col-xs-8 col-sm-10 fullRecValueEnglish'>English</div> </div> <div class='row'> <div class='leftDiv labelDiv col-xs-4 col-sm-2 fullRecLabelEnglish'>Journal_Title : </div><div class='valueDiv leftDirection leftAlign col-xs-8 col-sm-10 fullRecValueEnglish'>Solid-State Circuits, IEEE Journal of</div> </div> <div class='row'> <div class='leftDiv labelDiv col-xs-4 col-sm-2 fullRecLabelEnglish'>Publisher : </div><div class='valueDiv leftDirection leftAlign col-xs-8 col-sm-10 fullRecValueEnglish'>ieee</div> </div> <div class='row'> <div class='leftDiv labelDiv col-xs-4 col-sm-2 fullRecLabelEnglish'>ISSN : </div><div class='valueDiv leftDirection leftAlign col-xs-8 col-sm-10 fullRecValueEnglish'>0018-9200</div> </div> <div class='row'> <div class='leftDiv labelDiv col-xs-4 col-sm-2 fullRecLabelEnglish'>Type : </div><div class='valueDiv leftDirection leftAlign col-xs-8 col-sm-10 fullRecValueEnglish'>jour</div> </div> <div class='row'> <div class='leftDiv labelDiv col-xs-4 col-sm-2 fullRecLabelEnglish'>DOI : </div><div class='valueDiv leftDirection leftAlign col-xs-8 col-sm-10 fullRecValueEnglish'>10.1109/JSSC.2013.2280303</div> </div> <div class='row'> <div class='leftDiv labelDiv col-xs-4 col-sm-2 fullRecLabelEnglish'>Filename : </div><div class='valueDiv leftDirection leftAlign col-xs-8 col-sm-10 fullRecValueEnglish'>6612753</div> </div> <div class='row'> <div class='leftDiv labelDiv col-xs-4 col-sm-2 fullRecLabelEnglish'>Link To Document : </div><div class='valueDiv leftDirection leftAlign fullRecValueEnglish col-xs-8 col-sm-10'><a href='https://search.ricest.ac.ir/dl/search/defaultta.aspx?DTC=49&DC=27958' target='_blank'>https://search.ricest.ac.ir/dl/search/defaultta.aspx?DTC=49&DC=27958</a></div> </div> </div> <div class='leftDiv labelDiv leftAlign backLinkEnglish'><a href='javascript:history.back()'><img src='../CSS/Back.png' class='backImage' alt=
