Devices are disclosed. A device may include a command and address (CA) interface including a first pair of input circuits arranged in a first direction. The CA interface further including at least one additional pair of input circuits arranged in a second direction relative to the first pair of input circuits. Associated systems are also disclosed.

Centralized placement of command and address signals in devices and systems

Devices are disclosed. A device may include an interface region including two or more input circuits operably coupled to the number of input signals, wherein one of the two or more input circuits for each input signal is adjacent at least two other input circuits coupled to different input. Associated systems are also disclosed.

Centralized placement of command and address in memory devices

Disclosed herein is an apparatus that includes: first and second wiring patterns extending in a first direction, first and second transistors arranged adjacent to each other, and third to sixth wiring patterns extending in a second direction. The third wiring pattern is connected between the first wiring pattern and one of source/drain regions of the first transistor, the fourth wiring pattern is connected between the second wiring pattern and other of source/drain regions of the first transistor, the fifth wiring pattern is connected to one of source/drain regions of the second transistor, the fifth wiring pattern overlapping with the first wiring pattern, the sixth wiring pattern is connected to other of source/drain regions of the second transistor, the sixth wiring pattern overlapping with the second wiring pattern. The third and fourth wiring patterns are greater in width in the first direction than the fifth and sixth wiring patterns.

Output buffer circuit with metal option

Memory devices, memory systems, and systems, include memory devices with a bonding pad region including two or more bonding pads for operably coupling to external signals and a number of command-and-address (CA) input signals. The memory device also includes a centralized CA interface region including two or more CA input circuits operably coupled to the number of input signals. One of the two or more CA input circuits for each CA input signal may border at least two other CA input circuits coupled to different CA input signals.

Memory devices, memory systems, and systems, include memory devices with a bonding pad region including two or more bonding pads for operably coupling to external signals and two or more command-and-address (CA) input signals. The memory device also includes a memory cell region for storing information in a plurality of memory cells. A centralized CA interface region including two or more CA input circuits operably coupled to the two or more CA input signals. The centralized CA interface region is positioned between the bonding pad region and the memory cell region in a layout arrangement with the two or more CA input circuits neighboring each other in a compact region such that clock routing to the two or more CA input circuits is substantially reduced.

In order to provide an information providing system appropriate for acquiring information associated with text contained in a Web document, a plugin program is executed in a client device, and settings in a dispatch unit are modified. Specification of text in a Web document by an input reception unit, acquisition of text from the Internet by a document acquisition unit, and display on a screen by a document display unit are hooked when required. When a first type instruction specifying a URL is input with the input reception unit, a document is acquired by a document acquisition unit. When a second type instruction is input, an associated information acquisition unit queries a plurality of server devices with the text, and an associated information display unit displays the associated information provided in a popup. Thus, in addition to the Web document, a user is presented with associated information such as the safety of the URL, translation results of the text into various languages, and ads highly relevant to the text.
