摘要： A multistage circuit for regulating the charge voltage or the discharge current of a capacitance of an integrated device at a certain charge-pump generated boosted voltage is implemented without integrating high voltage transistor structures having a type of conductivity corresponding to the same sign of the boosted voltage (high-side transistors). The multistage circuit current includes at least a first stage, and an output stage in cascade to the first stage and coupled to the capacitance. The first stage is supplied at an unboosted power supply voltage of the integrated device, and the output stage is supplied at an unregulated charge-pump generated boosted voltage. The first stage includes a transistor having a type of conductivity corresponding to an opposite sign of the boosted voltage and of the power supply voltage. The drain of the output stage transistor is coupled to the boosted voltage either through a resistive pull-up or a voltage limiter.

摘要： A trimming structure for trimming functional parameters of an Integrated Circuit—IC—(100) includes a first (115a) and at least one second functional blocks (115b, . . . ,115n) with which a first (Vrg,a) and at least one second IC functional parameters (Vrg,b, . . . ,Vrg,n) are respectively associated. The trimming structure includes respective trimmable circuit structures (205a,210a, . . . ,205n,210n) included in the first and at least one second functional blocks, and trimming configuration storage (110) for storing trimming configurations for the trimmable circuit structures. A change in the trimming configuration of the first functional block causes a corresponding change in the trimming configuration of the second functional block. Further, a change in the second IC functional parameter in response to the corresponding change in the trimming configuration of the second functional block is proportional to the change in the first IC functional parameter consequent to the change in the trimming configuration of the first functional block.

Each signal line is coupled to an output of at least one of the sense amplifiers and each of the isolating circuits isolates an associated signal line from the output of the corresponding sense amplifier at least during an evaluating phase of the datum stored in the memory cell. The signal lines include at least two groups of signal lines, arranged such that coupling capacitances between the lines of the first group and the lines of the second group are substantially negligible.
