Title: Youji Terauchi: Innovator in Flash Memory Technology
Introduction
Youji Terauchi is a prominent inventor based in Kanagawa, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of flash memory technology, holding a total of 5 patents. His innovative work focuses on improving data erasure methods and memory control circuits.
Latest Patents
One of Terauchi's latest patents is a method for flash memory and data erasing. This invention addresses the issue of interrupted data erasure by allowing the process to restart from the point of interruption, thereby reducing the time required for data erasure. The flash memory includes memory cells, a verification circuit, and a power supply circuit. The verification circuit measures the threshold voltage of the memory cells to verify their erasure state. The power supply circuit then applies pulse voltages to the memory cells, with the initial pulse voltage strength corresponding to the measured threshold voltage.
Another notable patent involves a memory control circuit for nonvolatile memory. This circuit performs conversion processing for parallel readout bit data derived from individual bits read from memory cells. It sets the individual bits that are determined to successfully store an expectation value to the corresponding expected value. A determination circuit then assesses the result of the write processing to ensure that parallel expectation value data is accurately written to the nonvolatile memory.
