Title: Innovations by Danny Tsung-Heng Wu

Introduction

Danny Tsung-Heng Wu is a notable inventor based in San Jose, California. He has made significant contributions to the field of memory systems and data protection. With a total of 3 patents to his name, Wu's work has had a considerable impact on technology.

Latest Patents

One of Wu's latest patents is titled "Mixed storage of data fields." This invention involves an array of non-volatile memory cells that includes rows and columns. A volatile storage circuit provides addressable units of storage. The control circuit reads first type data and second type data from one or more of the rows and multiple columns of the array. It stores the first type data and second type data read from each row in one or more addressable units of storage of the volatile storage. Additionally, a security circuit reads first data from the addressable units and selects the second type data that includes bits from these units. The security circuit performs an integrity check on the selected second type data and generates an alert signal indicating a security violation if the integrity check fails.

Another significant patent by Wu is focused on the "Protection of data on a data path in a memory system." This invention provides protection for data in an integrated circuit. The integrated circuit includes a bit checker circuit, an Error Correcting Code (ECC) encoder circuit, an ECC decoder circuit, and a check bit generation circuit. The bit checker circuit checks write data based on write-path check bits. The ECC encoder generates a write encoded ECC value based on the write data, which is then written to memory. The ECC decoder decodes a read encoded ECC value and checks read data based on this value. The check bit generation circuit generates read-path check bits from the read data.
