    摘要: Techniques are presented for dealing with possible source line bias is an error introduced by a non-zero resistance in the ground loop of the read/write circuits of a non-volatile memory. The error is caused by a voltage drop across the resistance of the source path to the chip's ground when current flows. For this purpose, the memory device includes a source potential regulation circuit, including an active circuit element having a first input connected to a reference voltage and having a second input connected as a feedback loop that is connectable to the aggregate node from which the memory cells of a structural block have their current run to ground. A variation includes a non-linear resistive element connectable between the aggregate node and ground.

    摘要: Power consumption in a non-volatile storage device is reduced by providing reduced read pass voltages on unselected word lines during a read operation. A programming status of one or more unselected word lines which are after a selected word line on which storage elements are being read is checked to determine whether the unselected word lines contain programmed storage elements. When an unprogrammed word line is identified, reduced read pass voltages are provided on that word line and other word lines which are after that word line in a programming order. The programming status can be determined by a flag stored in the word line, for instance, or by reading the word line at the lowest read state. The unselected word lines which are checked can be predetermined in a set of word lines, or determined adaptively based on a position of the selected word line.

    摘要: An array of non-volatile storage elements includes a first group of non-volatile storage elements connected to a selected word line, a second group of non-volatile storage elements connected to the selected word line, a first group of bit lines in communication with the first group of non-volatile storage elements, a second group of bit lines in communication with the second group of non-volatile storage elements, a first set of sense modules located at a first location and connected to the first group of bit lines, and a second set of sense modules located at a second location and connected to the second group of bit lines. The first set of sense modules applies a first bit line voltage based on the bit line distance between the first set of sense modules and the first group of non-volatile storage elements. The second set of sense modules applies a second bit line voltage based on the bit line distance between the second set of sense modules and the second group of non-volatile storage elements.

    摘要: A body bias is applied to a non-volatile storage system to compensate for performance variations which are based on the position of a selected word line which is associated with non-volatile storage elements undergoing program, read or verify operations. In one approach, the body bias increases when the selected word line is closer to a drain side of a NAND string than a source side. In another approach, the body bias varies when the selected word line is an end word line. In another approach, first or second body bias levels can be used when the selected word line is in a first or second group of word lines, respectively. The body bias reduces variations in threshold voltage levels and threshold voltage distributions which are based on the selected word line position. Gate-induced drain leakage (GIDL) is also reduced.

    摘要: Body bias can be applied to optimize performance in a non-volatile storage system. Body bias can be set in an adaptive manner to reduce an error count of an error correcting and/or detecting code when reading data from non-volatile storage elements. Also, a body bias level can be increased or decreased as a number of programming cycles increases. Also, body bias levels can be set and applied separately for a chip, plane, block and/or page. A body bias can be applied to a first set of NAND strings for which operations are being performed by controlling a first voltage provided to a source side of the first set of NAND strings and a second voltage provided to a p-well. A source side of a second set of NAND strings for which operations are not being performed is floated or receives a fixed voltage.
