Michele Piccardi is an accomplished inventor and scientist, born in and currently residing in Cupertino, CA (US). He has made significant contributions in the field of integrated circuits and non-volatile memory, holding a total of 59 patents.

One of his latest inventions is in the field of integrated circuit devices for driving conductors to target voltage levels. This invention addresses the need to apply different voltage levels to different conductors at different times. The integrated circuit device includes a controller that can apply five different voltage levels to two conductors. The device applies a first voltage level to the first conductor and a second voltage level to the second conductor. It then applies a third voltage level to the first conductor and a fourth voltage level to the second conductor. Finally, the device applies a fifth voltage level to the first conductor and the second voltage level to the second conductor. The fifth voltage level corresponds to the target voltage level for the first conductor, while the second voltage level corresponds to the target voltage level for the second conductor.

Another one of his patented inventions is a power architecture for non-volatile memory. This invention addresses the need to transition a memory device from a first mode of operation to a second mode. In the first mode, voltage is supplied from a power source to a memory array and other associated components via a regulator. When transitioning to the second mode, some of the components supplied from the power source may be powered by a charge pump. Control information associated with the memory array may be stored to the components powered by the charge pump.
